Q: My eyes are dry all the time but I’m worried about using eyedrops too much. Aren’t they addictive?

A: It might seem excessive, but lubrication is necessary for the health of the eyes, even if it means using eyedrops to help. To make an analogy, a car engine won’t run better if you decide to stop using motor oil. Better eyedrops are designed not only to lubricate but to enhance the quality of your tears. Make sure to ask about this at your next eye exam! At Mosaic, we will gladly help with concerns such as this.

April is Oral Health Month, the perfect reminder for parents to schedule a dental checkup for their kids—especially after Easter treats! Sugary chocolates and candies can increase the risk of cavities, making it essential to reinforce good oral hygiene. Encourage brushing twice daily, flossing, and drinking water to rinse away sugar. A post-Easter dental visit helps catch any early signs of tooth decay and keeps smiles healthy. Use this month to build strong habits for lifelong oral health. Book your child’s checkup today and keep their teeth shining bright!

If you experience a deep, aching pain on the outside of the hip or in the groin that worsens with prolonged sitting, walking, climbing stairs, or lying on the affected side, you might have hip tendinopathy. Bursitis can accompany tendinopathy and cause tenderness and swelling, making even simple activities uncomfortable. The treatment of choice for this is the combination of shockwave and laser therapy. Shockwave therapy stimulates tissue regeneration and breaks down scar tissue, while Class 4 laser therapy increases blood flow and speeds up healing at a cellular level. Together, they offer a powerful, non-invasive solution for chronic hip pain.

20 dates – pitted; 1/2 c peanut butter; 3 tbsp peanuts; 1 1/4 c dark chocolate chips; 1/2 tsp coconut oil. Line a plate with parchment paper. With a small knife, make a lengthwise slit in each date, slicing about halfway down. Fill each date with peanut butter & sprinkle peanuts on top. Place dates in the freezer to firm up until completely solid- approximately one hour. Add chocolate chips into a double boiler over medium low heat, stirring as the chocolate melts. Add oil if desired to make the chocolate thinner. Drop the dates one by one into the melted chocolate, flipping to get it entirely coated. Let cool in fridge & enjoy!
