How long would my child need to wear a brace for scoliosis?
At 14 she is likely near skeletal maturity and the brace is not going to do much for her curve if she is finished growing. Girls grow on average until age 14 or 18 months after her menstrual cycles begin. READ MORE
Should all pains be seen by a doctor?
No. Most pains are transient sensations from minor injury, overuse or inflammation. READ MORE
Is playing tennis too often causing my elbow pain?
Yes. You likely have lateral epicondylitis aka tennis elbow. Aggressive stretching is needed and a few days away from the game to improve your strength and flexibility. READ MORE
What can I do about the labral tear in my hip?
Most labral tears are not symptomatic. Treatment of labral tears depends on age, weight, activity level and presence of arthritis. Most hip labrum tears do not need surgery. Treatments involve physical therapy, deep tissue massage, increasing hip range of motion, anti-inflammatory meds and occasionally injections of NSAIDS, steroids or stem cells. READ MORE
What can I do to alleviate the pain from herniated disc?
Herniated disks do not cause pain. Its a common misconception that is propagated by spine doctors and chiropractors. What is causing your back pain is what the herniated disk is touching. If it is touching a nerve it may cause pain. Most pain in the back is caused by muscle strain or spasm. All back pain should be treated for 2 years with lifestyle modifications. If you smoke, use tobacco, are overweight, use narcotics, can't touch your toes, drink any soda pop beverages or eat fast food you will always have back pain. No treatment will make that go away.

Is there a cure for osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis is a condition rather than a disease. It can be reversed, but the risk is always there. Treatment revolves around managing risk factors, vitamins and weight bearing exercise. Vitamin D3 5000 IU, vitamin k2 100mcg, magnesium 400mg are the supplements to take. Stop taking bone depleting medications such as acid reflux meds and steroids. Start doing jumping jacks 20 daily and lifting dumbbell everyday. Perimenopausal women should take hormone replacement therapy. READ MORE
What are some home remedies for spondylolisthesis?
Core strength, hamstring stretches, and keeping an ideal body weight are imperative. Avoid smoking at all costs. Start a low inflammatory diet such as paleo, ketogenic or plant based diet. Inversion therapy, acupuncture and deep tissue massage are excellent therapies. READ MORE
Why do my legs hurt when the weather changes?
The barometric pressure is why. Knee fluid expands and contracts with barometric pressure. As the pressure falls, the fluid in your knee exerts more pressure outward causing pain. The human body hates increased pressure, which is perceived as pain. READ MORE
After a bone graft surgery, how long will I have to wait to resume my sports?
Depending on the amount of bone taken, the type of surgery and the age of the patient, 6 to 12 weeks is a reasonable estimation. READ MORE
What is a discogram?
Fluid is injected into the disc to test the integrity of the disc. Analogy would be like filling a water balloon up with more water to test for leaks. In general, these tests are risky and are not routinely used due to multiple complications. READ MORE
What do I do for a broken toe?
Yes it will heal on its own. Taping the toe to the adjacent toe is a good way to avoid the toe from healing crooked which is the only complication that usually results in surgery for toe fractures READ MORE
Can typing be the cause of tennis elbow?
It is possible, since while typing you are extending your wrist for long periods of time. Stretches are the best way to treat tennis elbow. READ MORE
