What You Should Expect Out of a Hearing Aid
Sounds. Hearing aids should allow you to: (1) hear soft sounds (e.g. child’s voice, soft speech) that you could not hear without amplification; this is part of the enjoyment of hearing aids; (2) prevent loud sounds from becoming uncomfortably loud for you. Very loud sounds that are uncomfortable to normal hearing people may also be uncomfortable for you.
Do You Have a Cracked Tooth?
When you bite down, you feel a sharp pain. It quickly disappears, and perhaps you ignore it. You avoid certain foods or chew only on one side of your mouth. Does this sound familiar? If so, you may have a cracked tooth.

Urination Disturbance
Urination disturbance is manifested by frequency of urination, painful urination and incontinence of urination, resulting mainly from accumulation of heat in the bladder, and sometimes also from emotional factors and deficiency of the kidney.
Is it Breast Cancer or a Heart Attack?
A patient in her young 40s recently shared her fears about breast cancer. She had no symptoms, but struggled with obesity, high blood pressure and elevated cholesterol levels. Her blood sugars were above normal and there was no effort on her part to exercise. Despite her risks, she was more afraid of breast cancer than heart disease. In a national survey of US women, sixty percent believed they were more likely to die of breast cancer than heart disease. In reality, about one in 27 women will die of breast cancer, but one in two women die of heart disease.
Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a disease that affects approximately 2.5 million people in the United States and is the second leading cause of blindness. Glaucoma is a group of diseases that result in damage to the optic nerve. “Open angle glaucoma” is the most common type. This type of glaucoma is usually associated with elevated pressure inside the eye. This causes a gradual loss of vision, beginning with peripheral vision. The damage typically happens slowly.

Over 2,000 DRX Spinal Decompression Treatments Performed Experience Matters!
We take spinal decompression treatment as serious as we take surgery. Our office comprehensively evaluates every patient and spends a significant amount of time determining if the patient qualifies for our program. We recommend that patients research their treatment options and the doctor who will be performing the treatment. In my opinion, you want an experienced doctor who is using the latest technology and research to help administer the appropriate treatment. In our office we have performed thousands of decompression treatments utilizing the DRX-9000.
Chronic Pain and the Chiropractic Solution
The most prevalent health condition among U.S. workers is pain. Recent studies show that more than 60 percent of adults over the age of 30 experience chronic pain. Furthermore, only 25 percent of patients seeking conventional help for back pain report a full recovery 12 months later, and 75 percent of acute low back pain patients continue to endure chronic pain much longer than customarily believed.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) has been used in the treatment of decompression sickness for many years and is now being used to restore some of the brain function lost due to injury or disease. Cerebral Palsy, Autism, Stroke, Lyme’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis as well as developmental delays and other neurological issues can be treated by HBOT.
Shoulder Pain? Make Sure You Get the Right Diagnosis!
The shoulder is a complex joint involving three different bones and 20 different muscles allowing for a wide range of motion. The main joint of the shoulder (glenohumeral joint) is connected by a group of four muscles and their tendon attachments, called the rotator cuff. Problems with the rotator cuff include sports injuries, dysfunction due to muscle imbalance, wear and tear issues leading to fibrotic scar tissue formation and adhesions.
Smoking and Plastic Surgery: A Bad Mix
Why does smoking increase risks associated with plastic surgery? Smokers seem to know that smoking is “bad” for them but tend to be unaware of the specific risks and generally believe they won’t personally suffer an adverse surgical outcome because of smoking. Tobacco smoke contains some 4,000 different compounds, many of which are toxic, addictive, or can cause cancer. These chemicals include ammonia, arsenic, cyanide and even radioactive substances but the most harmful for healing are nicotine, which restricts blood flow to healing tissue, and carbon monoxide, which decreases the oxygen-carrying capacity of blood.
Am I A Candidate For Dental Implants?
The answer could be “yes!” Many patients, today, from teenagers to active retired people, enjoy the benefits of dental implants. Whether you’re missing just one tooth, several teeth, or all of your teeth, you may be a patient who could benefit from the esthetic and functional enjoyment of dental implants.
New Name, Same Great Service!
Many people have become familiar with Dermacare of Valencia, a physician owned and operated Laser Skin Care Center, which officially opened its doors in May, 2007. At the time of opening, Dermacare of Valencia was associated with a national franchise.
Since it’s opening, Dermacare quickly became a leading laser skin care center in the Santa Clarita Valley. Most of the popularity is due to the fact that Dr. Ingber personally performs all injections and the majority of the laser procedures.
Class IV High Power Therapeutic Laser
We are proud to announce we have added the latest technology to treat acute and chronic pain and inflammation. It’s a new form of ENERGY MEDICINE called Avicenna High Powered Laser Therapy (HPLT). Orthopedic and neurosurgeons in California and Florida are using this technology instead of epidural injects and cortico-steriod injects. Why?
How to Choose the Right Eyewear Without Going Bananas

Yeah, but I Really Didnât Get Hurt The Mantra Behind Lifelong Degeneration
Nearly every day I speak to a new patient who is complaining of chronic health concerns. Maybe it’s constipation, headaches, acid reflux, leg pain or numb fingers. I begin by questioning the patient about old injuries, car wrecks, falls, sports - all the usual events in life that cause physical stress on the body. Almost universally people tell me that some if not all of these apply, but then they will say, “Yeah, but I really didn’t get hurt.”
