DID YOU KNOW THAT…the Department of Labor was the first agency to be led by a WOMAN.

Not only that, women employees of the department were among the first to wear pants to work!

Yes, we have come a long way since then. While we still find ourselves having to legitimize our place, we know our worth.

Women owned businesses continue to thrive, and I am proud to be among women physicians who continue to push boundaries.

To my fellow colleagues past, present and future….Happy Labor Day!!

And thank you for making scrubs for women by women. 🙏🏻💕

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic pain condition, often described as a hypersensitivity to pain, that can be disabling and life-altering.

The diagnosis is usually made by taking a detailed history and physical exam, which often reveals point tenderness in 11 of 18 pressure points.

Patients with FM can also experience fatigue, lethargy and foggy brain, just to name a few.

The treatment can be elusive and frustrating, requiring a combination of medical management, physical therapy, counseling support and patience.

Many patients seek “alternative” care and modalities, and some may be open to neuro-emotional techniques, as it is suggested that FM is a trauma response manifested in the body.

While there is no known cause, and while diagnostic testing is often inconclusive, it is REAL.

There is a stigma around chronic pain, and especially fibromyalgia. This is also true among the medical community. And while that is a whole other post, it is with this in mind that I raise awareness today.

Do you have any questions about FM? Ask below👇🏻

Just the other day, a patient was going on about her doctor who she was no longer with because they went “concierge”.

She couldn’t understand how a doctor could do that when they had taken the Hippocratic Oath to take care of her.

My response to her with a firm but sympathetic tone was this....

👉🏻It is BECAUSE of the oath we take that we sometimes have to make difficult decisions about how and where we practice.

👉🏻It is BECAUSE the “care” in healthcare has become a second thought in a system that doesn’t always support the doctor in practicing their craft.

👉🏻 It is BECAUSE we care that we want to provide quality medicine that centers around the patient, giving us time to listen and to connect.

👉🏻 It is BECAUSE we love what we do that burning out is no longer an option.

To all my colleagues, near and far, old and new, hospital based and private practice, concierge or insurance based....keep on rocking that oath.👊🏻

💕💕Happy Doctor’s Day!!!💕💕

The day before I submitted my program rankings for , I switched my top two choices.

I matched with my first choice in Family Medicine👉🏻 so instead of ending up in NYC, I made my way to Atlanta.

Half way through my intern year, I discovered Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation👉🏻so I applied and transferred out of Family Medicine.

I was not accepted into a Sports Medicine fellowships👉🏻so I opted for one in Interventional Spine.

I intended to practice in a group or hospital setting but wanted more👉🏻so I opened up my own practice.

Today is Match Day.

Some medical students will be elated, some will be devastated.

There will be tears of joy, as well as tears of despair.

But as my story demonstrates, it’s a journey and thus, you must trust it.

Today, whatever it may bring, is not the end, it’s only the beginning. 🙏🏻

Congratulations to all the medical students!! 🙌🏻

Hang in there, you are well on your way.💕

💙ANNIVERSARY POST 💙

Austin Spine Health turns 3!!!

What I hoped would be a growth year for the practice was shattered by the pandemic.

But...I’ve grown so much in this past year.

👉🏻 I became a certified health coach.

👉🏻I learned how to navigate telemedicine.

👉🏻 I was able to define my vision and the direction of my practice.

Lastly, I have made so many connections here on Instagram and on Facebook. We’ve carried each other through one of the most challenging times in healthcare and in small business. 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

I don’t know where this fourth year will take me. But the adversity I have faced has certainly made me stronger.

What has this past year taught you?

It’s moving day! Not that we planned on moving anytime soon but Mother Nature had other plans for us. 🤨

So let’s talk about moving and back pain...I get a lot of questions from patients regarding how to protect their backs on moving day. ☝🏻

Here are some tips:

👉🏻 PACE YOURSELF — Don’t try to get it done all in one day. Have a strategic plan that involves steps to prepare for the day.

👉🏻 MIND YOUR LIFTING TECHNIQUE— Don’t be lazy. Bend your knees, engage your core and square your feet to face what you are lifting.

👉🏻 PACK WISELY — Don’t overfill boxes and spread out the heavy stuff. An extra box is less expensive than a back injury.

👉🏻 ASK FOR HELP — Don’t do it all by yourself. Recruit friends and family (entice them with food and drinks 😉) or if feasible, hire packing services.

👉🏻 HIRE MOVERS — Don’t skimp on a good moving company. They are trained professionals who know how to get it done safely.

👉🏻 TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF — Don’t forget to eat a healthy meal and drink lots of water. Wear comfortable supportive shoes.

Moving is hard enough when you WANT to move...no reason to make it more painful😳.

Shout out to for rocking it!🙌🏻

Is it just me or are you also running low on resilience? With one crisis after another, it’s no wonder we are wearing thin.

The pandemic itself is hard enough. Throw in a heated election, a natural disaster and sprinkle that with a few personal struggles, no surprise it’s hard to see a way out, let alone a way forward.

I was fortunate to hear an interview on the other day on and it all made sense. Dr. Jeffery Temple, a psychologist at spoke about Maslow’s Pyramid (swipe images👉🏻)

When we are faced with multiple traumas, we need to go back to the basics. The bottom of the pyramid is our physiological needs. These are the needs that must be met as we begin to heal and recover. Only then can we begin the work towards self-actualization (top of the pyramid).

This week has been challenging. Losing my home was a major crack in my foundation. I haven’t slept well, have made poor diet choices and am overwhelmed with my business.

And as I start to come out of the mental haze of it all, I know I need to ground myself.

For me, that means getting rest, exercising and eating healthy.

And yes, my car is now a U-Haul truck. But I threw on some makeup anyway because hey, it never hurts to doll up.

What does it mean for you? What are your basic needs?

To all the hard-working, trail-blazing, ceiling-shattering lady docs out there.....

To saying YES when told no. To believing when it seems impossible. To being afraid but doing it anyways....

To balancing work and life. To caring for others with tenacity and humility. To lifting and supporting one another...

To the past for leading the way, to the present that keep inspiring and to the future that will no doubt break barriers...

To you. To me. To us. 🥂

💕HAPPY NATIONAL WOMEN’s PHYSICIAN DAY💕💕

Happy Friday y’all! 💕

It’s been about 36 hrs since receiving my second dose of the Moderna vaccine and today, I feel fantastic!😊

I did experience some side effects that began that evening, mainly a headache and body aches overnight and fatigue the next day. I medicated with alternating Tylenol and Advil, and rested all day. 😌

Every time the virus infects us, it has the opportunity to get smarter and adapt, leading to the variants that we are now seeing emerge. 😏

The only way we are going to beat this thing is if we take this virus out of the game. This vaccine is the way out!💯

👉🏻I vaccinate for my parents and other seniors.

👉🏻I vaccinate for the small business owner🙋🏻‍♀️, the hair stylist and the restaurant server.

👉🏻I vaccinate for the and the coffee shop .shark

👉🏻 I vaccinate for my colleagues and all the health care workers.

Even though I am vaccinated, I will continue to wear a mask, wash my hands and keep my distance.👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻

A day of not feeling great is totally worth it. This morning, I feel hopeful and energized.🙏🏻

Honestly, I feel like I have a secret superpower! 🦸🏻‍♀️

Who are you vaccinating for?💕

First Monday of 2021 and I’m pumped!!!🙌🏻

After fifteen years of practicing Physical Medicine in Austin, I’ve been nominated by peers for this honor.😊

I’ve asked myself in years past...what was I doing wrong? But the correct question wasn’t about what I was doing, it was about where and how I was doing it. 🤨

I hadn’t yet figured out my passion. Yes, it was medicine for sure. But something was missing.

Taking that leap of faith a few years ago into starting my own practice was terrifying (still is most days). But this makes it worth it.💯

I love what I do, I love where I’m doing it. I love how I’m doing it. 😆

I am energized to keep providing an ultimate, unique experience in pain management. And I am humbled by this recognition.

It’s okay not to know. Like anything else in life, it’s a process. Trust your journey. Even the wrong path is the right one. 🙏🏻

Grateful. From the bottom of my heart 💜.

We are closing up shop for the long holiday weekend. 🙌🏻

Ironically, holidays can be a time where back injuries happen.
👉🏻Long car trips or airplane travel may lead to back and neck discomfort.
👉🏻 Carrying heavy gifts.
👉🏻 Climbing ladders to hang Christmas lights.

Along the same line, those suffering with chronic pain may have more intense flare ups.
👉🏻Holidays and being with family can be stressful.
👉🏻And tension can creep up in those areas where we tend to hold stress.

I often recommend a few tips:

1. ⭐️MINDFULNESS. Use proper lifting techniques. Bend at the knees, face what you are lifting and ask for help when possible.
2. ⭐️COMMON SENSE. Take frequent breaks when on the road, adjust you car seat with lumbar support and a head rest. Get out of the sear and wear supportive shoes.
3. ⭐️SELF-CARE. Take time for yourself. Get out in nature, step away for a walk, hop into a zoom yoga class or read a book.
4. ⭐️BREATH. Know your limits and set boundaries. Meditation is a useful tool. 🙏🏻

The holidays don’t have to be a disaster. Pace yourself. Decline what isn’t important to you. Plan, anticipate and step back if you’re overwhelmed.

Happy, safe and pain-free Holidays from all of us at Austin Spine Health💕

Happy Monday, folks!

Meet my SMALL POX scar.

Although the small pox vaccination campaign in the US ended in 1972, as immigrants making our way here in 1979, we were required to receive it, so that there was no chance we would reintroduce the virus. I was five.

Many of you do not have this scar. Some of you never even thought about it. Because you didn’t have to.

⭐️⭐️Point.⭐️⭐️

This scar is a reminder of the power of science and medicine.

We are lucky to have these options. Miracles of medicine are developed to protect us so that we may live our life without the worry of overwhelming our healthcare system, without the worry of unnecessary illness and death.

The COVID-19 vaccine is nothing new. It’s the same story. The difference lies with science and research, which has come so far that we can take all that we’ve learned from years of viruses and pandemics, mix it with some new kickass technology, and make it happen safely and quickly.

I share this as a historical perspective that may shed some light, that history does repeat itself, and we should learn from it.

Be curious. Keep an open mind. And consider good resources to best inform yourself. I recommend these wonderful physicians that have your best health in mind. .risahoshino just for starters. We are on your side.

⭐️⭐️COVID19 vaccine coming my way January 6th!! 🙌🏻⭐️⭐️
