Injuries and surgery cause distortions in your fascia, which affect your health in a myriad of ways, unless they are treated and resolved. Call for your appointment after any new injury!

🧬 The Hidden Role of Fascia: A System Often Overlooked... What if the body’s most important system wasn’t taught in most textbooks?

Want to fight osteoporosis naturally? Eat prunes!

A 50-g daily dose of prunes can prevent loss of total hip BMD in postmenopausal women after 6 mo, which persisted for 12 mo. Given that there was high compliance and retention at the 50-g dosage over 12 mo, we propose that the 50-g dose represents a valuable nonpharmacologic treatment strategy that....

While this is a more extreme case, it highlights why so many specialists move away from insurance participation.
Shame on United HealthCare.

A massive hack of the insurance giant set off a chain of events that has left some doctors’ practices on financial life support.
