To eliminate the pain of frozen shoulder or rotator cuff injuries and to regenerate the joint, especially with osteo-arthritic elements; acupuncture, natural medicines and ozone are historically my treatment protocols. Hypoxia or the inadequacy of cellular oxygen reaching the body’s tissues causes degeneration in the ligaments. These treatments are excellent for all forms of musculo-skeletal and joint pain including chronic neck & back pain, rotator cuff injuries, degenerative, arthritic hips, knees, degenerated discs, shoulder and elbow pain.

Vega Testing works with a device that is designed to use the acupuncture points in the hand to find any imbalances in the body. When referring to being in balance, the body transmits a vibration unique to each person and resonates it, everything is in harmony. If there is an imbalance, this vibration will show a change and the Vega device will help us in determining the problem. If you experience these symptoms, Vega Testing might be a good option for you: Fatigue, poor concentration, muscle pain, immune deficiency, digestion problems, IBS, Crohn’s Disease, allergies, anxiety, depression, bacterial or viral infections and nutritional deficiencies, among many more.

If you get migraine headaches often, you may wonder if there’s anything you can do to prevent them. Botox was approved in 2010 for adults who get chronic migraines. Botox works by blocking chemicals called neurotransmitters that carry pain signals from your brain. Botox is like a roadblock in that pathway. It stops the chemicals before they get to the nerve endings around your head and neck. Studies have shown that Botox cut down the total number of days migraine sufferers have headaches. They also have more “crystal-clear” – pain-free – days each month, and they report fewer days off work.

We all have a big shiny goal. It’s exciting to look forward to, but if we only focus on the endgame and miss the smaller markers, it’s going to be an extremely long slog. To me, progress is in the tiny moments. I nearly cried when a woman I’ve been working with told me she could finally bend her arm enough to lick peanut butter off her thumb. Sometimes it takes another person to remind us of how far we’ve come and get excited about the little things. The smaller we can celebrate, the more there is to celebrate along the way – and isn’t that encouraging?

Seniors need to get adequate nutrients from their meals to help them reduce the risk of serious health conditions, stabilize their mood, and maintain their mental health. Retirement communities help meet seniors’ nutrition needs by providing meals that are low in saturated fats and have moderate amounts of unsaturated fat, which promotes a stable body mass index (BMI) and metabolism. Healthy portion sizes support a healthy weight for older adults by preventing excessive calorie intake. If you or a loved one have questions about proper nutrition and eating habits for seniors, reach out to your care provider or retirement community.

promoting a sense of relaxation, wellbeing, better digestion, and pain reduction.
2. Releases neurotransmitters and endorphins: Acupuncture has an amazing ability to treat
chronic pain and anxiety by encouraging the release of chemicals such as serotonin and
dopamine.
3. Influences neuro-hormonal pathways: This may explain why acupuncture has amazing
effects treating problems such as stress, infertility, PCOS and endometriosis.
