  • Food as Medicine?

  • What Is Detox?

    What is detox? Is it necessary? Is it a good idea? What is the goal? Is it a scam? Does it work?

Again, it is important to take find a chiropractor or other physician who will take a good history and do a good examination to identify the cause and proper treatment. READ MORE

  • How do I know if my shoulder pain is serious?

    The best way to know if you have a serious problem is to have it evaluated. Pain is usually an indicator that something is wrong, and it should be taken seriously. The longer you go without treatment, the worse it can potentially get. If the problem is musculoskeletal in nature, usually the pain gets worse with activity (lifting, pushing, pulling). Gallbladder problems can create referred pain to the right shoulder region (usually between the shoulder blades). Pain in the left shoulder could indicate heart problems. These pains do not usually correspond to activity. READ MORE
