Do you suffer from a nagging injury like tennis elbow, achilles tendonitis, frozen shoulder, rotator cuff injuries or plantar fasciitis? Shockwave therapy is one of the best research-backed treatments for chronic musculoskeletal conditions that have not healed properly. It involves the application of acoustic sound waves to kick-start healing, control pain, and restore mobility. Often patients will feel relief after their first treatment and can expect more significant and lasting changes within 3-5 applications. Shockwave Therapy coupled with Class IV Laser Therapy is evidence based and the gold standard in tendon healing.
Easter Treats
As Easter approaches, children anticipate a chocolate influx, posing potential risks to their dental health. Balancing indulgence with moderation is key to safeguarding oral well-being. The frequency of sugary consumption, not the quantity, triggers dental issues, affecting three in 10 school-starters with tooth decay. Opting for sugar-free Easter eggs and encouraging healthier snacks like breadsticks, vegetables, and cheese mitigates risks. Limiting sweet treats to mealtimes and concluding chocolate intake at least one hour before bedtime are preventive measures. Monitoring portion sizes and offering water after chocolate consumption contribute to better dental health. In the current sugar-conscious climate, these simple practices can significantly reduce children’s tooth decay and lay the groundwork for a healthier future.
