Unfortunately, there is no magic bullet when it comes to pain, but there is hope. Pain is your body communicating with itself that something is not right.

Age does not have as much to do with it as our level of activity. Start today by moving, doing strengthening exercises, and improving flexibility.

We must find a way to move, even if most of our avenues to do that are taken away. Thankfully, we live in 2021 and there are options available to us that did not exist 20 years ago.

Take things easy to begin the spring, and you will find that you are better off in the long run.

I think we all love summer. The cold, dark days of winter are mostly behind us. The flowers are blooming, the days are longer, and the grass is growing.

Anyone who has been in severe pain, like after a surgery or bad accident, can attest that there are some great pain killers available. There are times when ice, rest, and a little Advil just won’t do the trick.

Our modern world can be brutal on our bodies. Everything we do tends to force us to look down, slump our shoulders, and hold our arms out in front.

I spend a large portion of my day explaining to patients what is causing their pain. That is usually followed with recommendations for treatment.
