Awareness
For all of ya’ll who have really listened to me over the years (rules out wife & kids) know I emphasize prevention. An ounce of it is worth a pound of cure. When I encourage you to come in for your bi-weekly to monthly adjustment even though you’re feeling great; or when your dentist wants you in every 6 months it’s not just because we like you. Well, I guess it is because we like you because we want to keep from having to see you 3 times a week…

Smoking Eggs
I just recently read where some ‘Government Expert’ has likened eating eggs to smoking. I wish I was smoking what those guys were smoking to say eggs are as bad as smoking. Point 1: Smoking is possibly the absolute worst thing you could do to your body, next to stepping in front of a moving bus. It cuts off air flow, hardens your arteries and burns out your airways. This, in turn, causes numerous fatal and disabling diseases, and complicates others – not just the ones you think about like…

Vote for me 2012
Now with all this electioneering all underway and stuff, I’m hearing a lot of people doing a lot of talking about Medicare/Medicaid and what needs to be done with them. Let me start by saying this is NOT a political rant; it’s a HEALTH rant. However, given current need vs. funding, Medicaid will be bankrupt in just a matter of years and Medicare isn’t too far behind. Not spreading fear, just business 101. If you spend more than you make-you end up red. Maybe it’s taxes, maybe it isn’t; but…

Susquehanna Spine & Rehab welcomes Dr. Matt LeMaster!!!
Any of you who have been in lately have noticed that Dr. Lee had a small accident and broke his arm. After a small surgery to install a plate in his wrist he should be good as new in a few weeks; as long as he is a good patient and keeps his physical therapy appointments, does his home exercises, and listens to the restrictions from the surgery and therapist. In an effort to provide excellent and continuous care for our patients Dr. LeMaster joined our practice today. We are…

Time
Time, she’s (ever noticed inanimate objects/concepts that cause grief are personified as females???) a tricky bugger. Whisky and wine improve over time. Your body on the other hand, is more like milk; old injuries-more like milk left out on the counter. If I only had a dime for every time I heard someone in their 30’s, 40’s, 50’s and on tell me that they’ve been fighting with a high school/rec league/drunken foolishness injury from decades previous, thinking it would just go away. Given that a clean fracture completely heals in…

Fascia
Today, we’re going to talk about the wonderfully exciting world of fascia. Fascia is zzzzzzzzzzzzzz……..Ok, it’s not that bad, but definitely under rated. So under-rated, that Harvard (yes, the real one) Medical College decided a few years ago that they were going to start holding 3 day, annual symposiums on fascia and fascia related-disorders. I’m sure by now you’re asking yourself, what is this fascia stuff? How should I describe fascia?. 1-after you’ve pulled the skin off a chicken breast there’s that thin little layer of sheen left which is…

How I beat, well, am beating Rosacea.
I got the curse of the Celts. People as white as me weren’t meant to grow up in sunny South Texas. Mother Nature had assigned us to Northern Europe. Having been exposed to hours of intense sun has allowed me more than one trip to the dermatologist-and the real reason I gave up my previous career as a male model. Rosacea is NOT caused by alcoholism; it’s a genetic disorder common in us honkies. It’s characterized by acne-like appearance in people over 35. As opposed to acne, it is not…

"In one year and out the next week"
It’s been said-“A New Year’s resolution is something that goes in one year and out the other.” Last year about this time, I wrote the following on New Year’s Resolutions: Why Bother? This is the time of year when people start telling themselves this is the year that they are going to get in shape, eat right and stop stealing office supplies. And most will have failed the first two goals by the end of the Sugarbowl Halftime Report, and #3 by 4:00 on the first Monday after the holiday….

The White Stuff
Tricked or Treated Today’s edition is brought to you by the real boss, Mrs Spine:It’s that time of year again, where parents will be busy with all sorts of Halloween related activates. My kids like yours are so hyped up about the upcoming “Holiday”. My middle daughter came home yesterday and informed me that she needed to use a pillow case for trick or treating because you can get more candy that way. Halloween has turned in to sugar-polooza. Once a year is one thing.
Nice Kicks
Having just spent the weekend in OC I made the following observations: people either don’t take a friend swimsuit shopping, or their friend lies to them. Remember when friends were supposed to be honest with you and not just prop you up in your own delusions? Remember the 1980’s Friends don’t let friends drink and drive, do drugs etc? Well, consider me your friend. And I don’t want you wearing shape-ups or other rocker type shoes anymore (nor do I want to see you in some of those, let’s say…
