I hope everyone is safe following the storm. I plan to be in the office all day Wednesday, Jan 28, but won't be in this afternoon, Monday, Jan 26. There's a threat of more winter weather later in the week, but let's get cleaned up from this one first!! Dr. John McWilliams

I've moved! The lease was up at the Maple Avenue location & I didn't want to sign a five-year lease. I'm sharing the new office with Dr. Ward at NOVA Pain & Rehab. It's at 17337 Pickwick Drive, Suite A, Purcellville VA 20132. Turn onto Pickwick Drive and make the immediate left - you'll be looking at the office. Enter the front door & Suite A is on your left. Hours are Mon 3-7 PM, Wed 9 AM - 7 PM, Fri 9 AM - 1 PM, alternate Sat 9 - 11 AM. Come by to see the new space!

If I'd only known earlier today - it was cooold with the wind!

When we’re exposed to cold temperatures, our body starts to clamp off peripheral blood flow to keep our core warm, but if we eat an orange before skiing or going out for a winter walk, our risk of frostbite may go down. The citrus phytonutrient hesperetin helps increase blood flow.

Of course, having warm hands is nice, but maintaining blood flow to our fingers is not as important as maintaining blood flow to our brain. Out of all the different types of fruits investigated in observational studies, citrus has been found to potentially cut our risk of stroke the most.

Eating citrus fruits like oranges and grapefruits may help us during the chilly winter months, offering immediate benefits, and may also help reduce our stroke risk over the longer term.

Please note: If you are on any medications, please inform your physician if you eat grapefruit. It can suppress the enzymes that help clear more than half of commonly prescribed drugs, and less drug clearance means higher drug levels in the body.

Given the weight of your head, this positioning can stress and damage your neck, shoulders and back. Stiffness, soreness or sharp pain in your neck and shoulders are signs that you’re spending too much time hunched over your phone. Over time, this sort of persistent strain can contribute to arthritis.

Burns on turkey day? No thanks! 🍗🧤 Always use thick, dry mitts, keep flammable items (like dish towels) away from the stove, and never leave hot oil unattended.
