Thanksgiving week. Time for the question everyone dreads: "So, how's your health?" If you have a family history of diabetes, heart disease, back problems, or arthritis, this conversation matters more than you think. November 27 is National Family Health History Day, and it falls on Thanksgiving for a reason. When your family is together, pay attention to the stories. Who has back pain? Who can't get up from the table easily? Who is dealing with chronic conditions? These patterns aren't just genetic bad luck. They're warnings. They're showing you what happens when musculoskeletal problems go unaddressed for decades. Your grandmother's "bad back" started as minor discomfort she ignored. Your dad's limited mobility began as stiffness he worked through. You're seeing your future unless you make different choices. The good news? You can. This Thanksgiving, while everyone else is comparing health problems, you can be the one who breaks the cycle. Schedule your appointment this week. Let's make sure your story is different.
