To Do or To Be – That Is The Question
Come fall, our to do lists become expansive and over -flowing beckoning us to address that which we’ve put off for some time in order to enjoy an expansive summer. It can be overwhelming yet oddly comforting to check off each to do item on our list only to discover there is no shortage of more. To be lists are equally important as they allow us to shift out of our heads and spend the quality time with ourselves, nature, music, creativity and the people that fill our hearts. This calms down our nervous system. Taking the time daily to do & to be, creates harmony and balance in our lives.

Acupuncture for Digestive Conditions
Symptoms like bloating, constipation, diarrhea, nausea, cramping, and abdominal pain are an indication that things are not moving through the digestive tract efficiently. The root cause of many digestive issues is often chronic stress, improper diet, poor sleep habits, and other lifestyle issues. Multiple scientific studies show that acupuncture may benefit the digestive tract by regulating gastric motility, reducing inflammation of the mucosal lining, regulating GI sensitivity (abdominal pain, bloating, irregular bowel movements), and balances the brain-gut axis, which is essentially how the brain communicates with the digestive tract and vice versa.
Building Your Estate Team
It’s important to enlist the help of others and assemble the right people on your estate planning team. Your team should include: 1) Family – Be proactive and clear about your wishes so that no one is in the dark about how you want to share your assets, and who to contact. 2) The Executor – person with the legal authority to represent your estate. Can be a capable friend or family member, or an appointed trust company (fees charged for services). 3) Your Financial Advisor – can help prepare an estate plan, knows your net worth and where to locate your assets.
Shockwave Therapy for Chronic Conditions
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.
Ask The Expert
Q: My dad says he has double vision in one eye, what should we do?
A: He should be triaged as soon as possible and assessed. Describing double vision can be hard for the person experiencing it. He might simply mean he’s seeing shadowy vision in one eye, or maybe his eyes have suddenly become misaligned because of a serious problem with the nerves or blood supply (in the brain) that control the eye muscles.
