Congestion, swelling and pain of the eye are acute conditions in various external eye disorders.
Etiology and Pathogenesis: This condition is mostly due to exogenous pathogenic wind heat causing obstruction of qi circulation in the meridian, or due to preponderance of fire in the liver and gallbladder which flares up along the related meridians, causing qi stagnation and blood stasis in the meridians.

One of the more common painful conditions of the foot and ankle is a Morton’s Neuroma.  The nerves that supply the sensation to the lesser toes originate on the bottom of the foot. They travel between the long bones of the foot (metatarsals), and at the head of the metatarsal the nerve will branch into the two adjacent toes.  In the area where the nerve is about to divide, a ligament crosses between and is attached to the metatarsal heads; it runs perpendicular to the nerve. 

This can be a difficult task because patients don’t always know what to look for when choosing a provider.  The first factor to consider is whether the doctor is a true orthodontist or a regular dentist performing orthodontic work.  The former has typically completed four years of studies at a university, followed by four years of training at a dental school, and two or three years of specialty training in orthodontics at an accredited school.  Unlike the dentist, he or she is recognized as a specialist in that field. 

Your breath is a wonderful tool for keeping you focused and for reducing anxiety.  It is physically impossible to hold onto anxiety while you are gently breathing.  When stress occurs, whether you receive bad news or are disappointed by life, remember that right now, at this very moment, you are safe.  Rather than worrying about what to do, breathe gently and focus on what you can do right now to take care of yourself in this very moment.  Your breath is always there as a tool to help you relax and reduce stress and anxiety. 

To begin, let’s first talk about Amalgam fillings.  Sometimes referred to as “silver or metal colored fillings,” an amalgam filling is a stable alloy made by combining elemental mercury, silver, tin, copper and possibly other metallic elements.  Constant pressure from chewing, grinding or clenching can cause dental fillings or restorations to wear away, chip or crack.

Vitamin D is known as the “sunshine vitamin” because your skin makes vitamin D from the sun’s rays.  The amount of the vitamin D your skin makes depends on the time of day, season, skin color, weight, gastric intestinal absorption disorders, liver disease and age.
Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium, which is needed to build and maintain strong bones.  Low levels of Vitamin D have been associated with Rickets in children and lower bone mineral density in adults. 

So much focus in healthcare today is placed on getting the symptom or pain to go away.  But, what if that actually was a mistake?  What if that approach is creating more problems than it is solving?
At first, treating the pain or symptom sounds like a good idea: the pain or symptom goes away, then the problem must be gone, right?

Nearly 3,000 babies were born last year at Providence Holy Cross Medical Center and their parents went home to the Santa Clarita and San Fernando valleys armed with a crash course in baby care offered by the hospital’s award-winning Mother/Baby Care team.

It’s not uncommon to find ourselves fixated at the site of unresolved relationships.  Young relationships are very intense, becoming a very important part of us.  The person we become is greatly influenced by those early experiences.  Sometimes, those early relationships end before we’re ready to move on.  Our love may relocate or die or be denied access or choose to disappear without explanation.  We existed as part of the relationship, so, when it ended, part of us was extracted from our being. 

The dreaded parasite!  Well don’t worry about saying, “Not Me” because chances are, “yes, even you.”  There are many types of parasites and some that are predominantly in certain areas only, but when a person gets that parasite and travels it can then be transmitted to anyone, anywhere, without anyone knowing.

A couple of months ago, when the winds ruled the land of Santa Clarita, I found the backyard basketball goal, once firmly secured in concrete, face down on the ground.  Rust had revealed its ugly face and undermined the integrity of the steel pole on which the manufacturers had proudly stamped “Lifetime.”

1. You may be injured and not know it.  Most individuals mistakenly believe that they will be in significant pain if they have an injury.  This is not always true.  Some damage can be minor enough to cause minimal to no pain.  After a car accident, you should have an in-depth medical history and examination, along with any necessary x-rays.  Getting diagnosed will help to establish the proper course of treatment. 

Headaches occur in nearly all ages and walks of life.  There are many types of headaches from sinus to migraines to toxic to the most common type, the tension or “stress” headache, which accounts for about 90 percent of all headaches.  Headaches are one of the most common complaints people have- some estimates suggest 25 percent of the population have one right now! 

FDA Cleared technology treats herniated and degenerative discs without surgery!

The Cause of Back Pain
The discs in your spine provide space between each vertebrae and act as shock absorbers to give you the ability to bend and twist.  These shock absorbers undergo a significant amount of stress.  When the stress in the disc gets to high it begins to fail. 

Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese system of flowing movements that strengthens the legs while conditioning the tendons and ligaments of the ankles, knees, and hips and spine, increasing their range of motion and making them more resilient, less prone to injury. The constant weight shifts train balance and body awareness, leading to greater ease of movement. 

What are mini implants?
Mini Dental Implants, similar to regular dental implants, are made from bio-compatible titanium alloy, but are smaller.  They are FDA approved and can be used when needed for support purposes.  In fact, they have been successfully functioning in patients for several decades.
