    Back and Neck Pain: When to seek medical care? Yellow and Red Flag Symptoms

    May 15, 2025

    Friends and family often request advice for when they should seek medical care after they have sprained their back or neck. Patients frequently come into the clinic who have taken visits to the Emergency Room, sometimes even twice in the same day when they just can’t get the relief they are looking for. That question […]

    Hot vs Cold – The Debate – What does the Physiology Say?

    January 14, 2025

    The dilemma of using hot packs verse cold packs after an injury still seems to be a topic of great discussion.  Doctors, PA’s, nurses and even some PTs still are saying different things. For some reason, the hot verse cold debate still rages on despite the physiological advancements and understanding that exists today.  So, let’s […]

    Managing Stress and the Chronic Pain Relationship

    August 29, 2023

    Science has long believed that stress can be a causative factor for physical pain, but can stress be the sole driver of pain? If it can be, then the remedy for stress induced pain does still seem to be an enigma. It is estimated that 72 percent of adults report they have health impacts due […]

    How Effective is your Stretching Technique?

    September 19, 2022

    Many people put a lot of stock into stretching and blame injury on lack of stretching or not being flexible.  Ironically, I have found that a fair number of clients have actually injured themselves by over stretching.  When I get into the details of how they were stretching, it is clear that they are not […]

    Dizziness, Balance and the Vestibular System

    September 14, 2022

    Over the years, we have seen many patients with balance deficits or patients who have asked questions about balance. Poor balance affects so many different aspects of life, so it is not surprising that people would wonder what they could do to help improve it. Balance is actually controlled by three main systems: vestibular or […]

    Skip that Yoga Class

    July 8, 2022

    Don’t feel bad about skipping that yoga class, truth be told, it most likely is bad for you anyway.  Contrary to popular belief, injury rates in yoga have been showing an upward trend for some time now.  I recently ran across a resurfaced New York time article from 2012 that substantiated my long-time belief that […]

    Neck Pain: What are “Knots” and Trigger Points and what is a facet?

    December 21, 2021

    I have a similar conversation multiple times a week with neck patients regarding this question: “Is that a knot?” I work on many patients with neck pain. Patients come in with all types of diagnoses such as cervicalgia, spondylosis, radiculopathy, Levator scapulae syndrome, myofascial pain syndrome, and upper back pain to name a few. Ironically, […]

    Cervical Muscle Imbalances, Neck Pain and Text Neck

    July 1, 2021

    Muscle imbalances in the neck and shoulders are very common and can cause a multitude of problems, including chronic neck pain. Traditionally, when we think of muscle imbalances we think of syndromes in which some muscles become inhibited and weak and others become short and stiff. Chronic muscle imbalance can bring changes in soft-tissues, which […]

    Spinal Alignment

    January 27, 2021

    When a healthcare practitioner uses the term “alignment” when it refers to your spine, it can be a bit misleading.  The reason lies in the fact that the prevalence of people seeing chiropractors has grown tremendously in the last few decades.   Twenty-two years ago, when I started in the world of physical therapy, maybe […]
