Can the hospital do anything for broken ribs?
A rib injury should be evaluated by a physician. You will be given advice for pain management and evaluated to see if there has been any other damage. The majority of people with rib fractures can be given advice to take care of themselves at home. However, in complex cases surgery may be recommended. I wish you well with your health! READ MORE
Should I see a neurologist for numbness and tingling?
I suggest being examined by a Family Doctor who may then decide to refer you to a neurologist. There are many possible causes of this condition. Sometimes this is benign & relieved when positional pressure is relieved. If the numbness & tingling continues other possible causes include diabetes, systemic illnesses, vitamin deficiencies, toxins, alcoholism, injury, nerve entrapment syndromes, infections & multiple sclerosis. And so a complete history & physical with appropriate lab tests by a primary care physician is a good way to begin assessing your condition. I wish you well with your health! READ MORE

What are the best care options for older adults with Parkinson's?
There is not a standard treatment for Parkinson’s disease. The treatment for each person who has Parkinson's is based on the symptoms. Treatments primarily consist of medication with lifestyle modifications, such as more rest and exercise. Levodopa is the most potent medication for Parkinson’s disease. Levodopa is converted into dopamine in the brain, which is low in Parkinson's. READ MORE
Do you get immediate relief from acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a primary component of traditional Chinese medicine. It is most commonly used for the treatment of pain. It is also often used for overall wellness & stress management. Some people report they feel relaxed & others say they feel energized after each acupuncture treatment. However, not everyone responds to acupuncture. If there is no improvement to your symptoms within a few weeks, acupuncture may not be the right treatment for you. READ MORE
