Plantar Fasciitis

Image
We have had a lot of patients Ask us what they can do for their plantar fasciitis. Managing this kind of pain is hard especially if you work and have to be on your feet. My son loves to run but his left foot gives him so much pain. We would golf ball and have him roll his foot over it. then wrap a ice pack on the bottom of his foot for about 15 to 20 mins. At night he would put a sock splint on. All of this sometimes didn't work but it did help.  After talking to Dr. Sperbeck she told me to get him orthotic inserts and do stretches. They have a lot of different stretches on youtube. So we have tried a lot of the stretches and he is doing better. When it track or cross country time we will tape up his foot be for he runs. All of this has made a big difference in his life.

I use it everyday and my skin feels so much better. It helps with a lot. The main reason we started it was because it help patients with pain, inflammation and wrinkles. Who don't want to feel and look younger?   Red light therapy is a treatment that helps our skin, muscle tissue, and other parts of your body heal. It expose you to low levels of red and near-infrared light. infrared light is a type of energy your eyes can't see, but your body can feel. Red light is similar, but you can see it.

Christmas Light Day

" Christmas lights — lights that are hung up  on Christmas trees inside, and outside on buildings, trees, and other things — are celebrated today. They were invented in the early 1880s by Edward H. Johnson, an associate of Thomas Edison. On Dec. 22, 1882, he lit his Christmas tree with 80 incandescent light bulbs, at his home in New York City. Prior to this time, candles were the only way to illuminate trees, and it still took many years before electric lights became the main way trees were lit, and before outside Christmas lights became popular. Lights originally were put on trees by Christians, and they symbolized Christ as being the light of the world" On December 1st every year is a national day. I was reading on the internet (what's above). I never know that people would put candles in their christmas tree. To me that's a little scary. I wonder how many house were lost in that time. It still nice to learn something new. I love christmas lights they make the holid
