Virtually every patient, when confronted with back pain, will ask me the big question: “Why?” Unless the patient has experienced a trauma or demonstrates a disease on imaging (e.g., spinal stenosis, disc degeneration or degenerative disc disease, arthritis or degenerative joint disease, etc) the answer to the question “Why?” is challenging to definitively answer.

Twenty-five percent of all 32-week pregnancies have the child in the breech position. This number drops to three-percent at 40-weeks.

Few studies have been performed examining the efficacy of occlusal splints — the most common appliance created by dentists to address Temporomandibular Dysfunction (TMD) (aka TMJ Syndrome) — compared to therapeutic focused (temporomandibular joint) TMJ exercises.

Who Gets Tennis Elbow? Trivia Time: 95% of those diagnosed with this condition are not tennis players! […]
The simple and inexpensive multivitamin has been vindicated, in a recent study. Multivitamins are known to reduce your risk of cancer and other diseases and disorders. In fact, if everyone took daily multivitamins it would save an estimated 48,000 lives per year! Read the details of the study in the article, Daily Multivitamins Reduce Cancer […]
Expectant mothers are often bewildered by the myriad of nutritional advice shoved at them from all corners. Although most of the advice given is harmless, we think there is a risk of information overload and a tendency to just simply continue eating as usual. But, by simply following a few simple tips, most women can […]
An article titled “Why I Also Almost Died During the 2012 New York City Ironman Triathlon” does a great job detailing the signs and symptoms of Swimming Induced Pulmonary Edema (SIPE). This condition continues to be one of the most common causes of death in long-course triathlons. (e.g., Ironman 140.6 and Ironman 70.3) The author describes […]
