Is Invisalign® a Real Clear Brace?
One of the main drawbacks of orthodontics, devices worn to correct gaps, rotations and overlaps in your teeth is their visibility. Traditionally, braces consist of metal, plastic or ceramic brackets glued to the teeth and holding a tightening wire in place. While braces produce beautiful results, many would-be clients never wear them for fear of looking unattractive during the process.
Monthly Back Tip from Relax the Back Store
People often come into our store asking for a lumbar support for their car seat. This makes sense because we have over a dozen products designed for this application, however, the problem with most car seats is the seat pan itself and not the lack of lumbar support.
Test Your Foot Problems Knowledge
Here is a chance to test your knowledge regarding a few common foot problems. The answers we provide contain helpful information.
When It’s Time to Take the Keys Away
How would you react if you were sitting in the back seat, one of your parents was driving, and they became slightly confused when it came time to take an exit? Or if they brushed a curb while driving down the road?
Will You Like Me?
I know I like you, but how will I know if you’ll like me? I want you to like me, but how much personal compromise can I allow, in winning you over? How high of a cost am I willing to pay before my value diminishes in my eyes and the eyes of others? Do I deserve a treasure as valuable as you?
Check Your Health Status By Looking At Your Mouth
In accordance with Oriental medicine, I would like to discuss how one can check his or her health by examining the tongue and the inside of the mouth.
Home Care Versus Home Health
Q: I am confused. I thought in-home care included medical, but the more I have talked to people involved in In-home care, medical is separate. Could you clarify this for me?
Be a Health Care Before Person
If you are a procrastinator, now may be the time to consider the health price you may be paying for this habit. Procrastination may be the worst enemy of optimal health. We think about exercising and eating healthy foods, however postponing these changes is much easier than actually performing them.
Cold Laser Therapy for Pain Relief
What is low-level laser therapy? There are two types of medical lasers: high power and low power. High power lasers are used to cut through tissue. Low-level lasers, on the other hand, are used to stimulate tissue repair through a process of bio-stimulation. The word “laser” is an acronym for Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation.
Going Au Natural
Whenever you venture into the field of natural cosmetic products, keep in mind that the term all-natural can be a little misleading. For instance, many people have no idea that there really is no such thing as an all-natural cosmetic product. Personal care and cosmetic products being sold in any kind of retail capacity, are industry regulated to have a one to two year shelf-life and must contain some chemical stabilizer and chemical preservatives, otherwise these products would be separated and contaminated within weeks of sitting on a store shelf.
7 Reasons to Cut Coffee and Promote Healthy Aging!
Despite the recent boom in popularity of coffee houses and drive-thru java stations, coffee drinking may be having a negative impact on your health; especially for mature women. Women are faced with new health challenges as they age. Here are the top seven reasons for limiting coffee and caffeine to improve health and ease aging symptoms.
Sinusitis
Sinusitis is an inflammation or infection of the sinuses. The sinuses are hollow spaces in the head that are lined with mucous membranes. The sinuses usually drain easily unless inflammation or infection is present. Sinusitis most often follows a cold or a flu and may also be associated with allergies, an infected tooth (dental abscess), or air pollution. Sinusitis can occur in children, but it is more common in adults.
Take the Self-Test for Colon Health
The following test can provide valuable information about the health of the colon. Answer “Yes” or “No” based upon experiences over the last month.
Building Relationships Builds Patients Trust
Relationship building has always been important to my practice. I have found ways to make sure my patients are very comfortable and very happy with my office and the procedures that I perform.
In my practice, my patients value personal attention and the ability to trust my staff and me.
Sprain and Contusion
Sprain and contusion here refer to the injury of soft tissues, such as skin, muscles and tendons of the trunk or limbs without fracture, dislocation or wound.
Main manifestations are pain and swelling of the injured areas, and motor impairment of the joints.
Is There Another Way I can Have a Tooth Replaced Other Than a Bridge?
Yes, dental implants can provide artificial teeth that look natural and feel secure. Here’s an example. Mrs. Johnson was upset because she had a broken front tooth in the morning. She had a root canal treatment a few years ago and she had a crown on it.
Beating Heel Pain
There are many different causes of pain in the bottom of the heel from problems with the plantar fascia ligament to complicated nerve entrapments (tarsal tunnel syndrome), and heel bone fractures. Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain. The plantar fascia acts to support the inside arch of the foot. During normal walking, the plantar fascia will be relaxed and then tightened as body weight is transferred through the foot. With the presence of any of several contributing factors (such as insufficient arch support), inflammation of the plantar fascia as it inserts to the bottom of the heel bone can develop; this is termed “plantar fasciitis” (-itis means inflammation).
UPF is the New SPF!
With summer quickly approaching, parents should begin to think about protecting their children from increased sun exposure by stocking up on tubes of SPF 15 (or greater) sunscreen. But, how often do we plan out our children’s summer wardrobe to include proper protection from the sun, as well?
