Ice or Heat?
February 18, 2013
Start with this…Ice won’t hurt you as long as you only do it for 20 minutes and have a barrier of towel or shirt between it and your skin. You can ice several times with 40 min breaks in between “icings”.
Heat may make you worse! Using heat on a new injury, a flare-up, or after an intense treatment will bring more blood into an already inflamed and/or swollen area. If you bring more blood, it will swell more and get more irritated. Heat may feel good while it’s on, but an hour or so later your injury may get much worse. Just Ice if you are uncertain of which to do or seek a medical professional’s opinion after an evaluation.

U.S. Senior Open & Low Back Pain Control!
August 1, 2010
In the last 3 days at the U.S. Senior Open at Sahalee Golf Course outside of Seattle I worked with a team of 2 other Seattle chiropractors to treat the low back pain of volunteers and a handful of legendary golfers. The opportunity to work at the 2010 U.S. Senior Open came from a long-time friend of mine (Harry Sese) who works with the Titleist Performance Institute to train better golfers. Dr. Sese worked on several golfers while myself and another chiropractor worked to keep the 3,000 volunteers capable of standing still at their posts on uneven ground and concrete structures. The low back pain epidemic highlighted the need for massage and joint care for the low back spine & musculature, hamstrings, gluteus muscles and even mid-back muscles and joints.

Is Weight Loss with HCG Injections Safe?
June 5, 2010
Local Seattle Rolfer and wellness blogger, Sukie Baxter, recently asked me if I would care to be a guest blogger on her site about the possible dangers of the HCG injection diet fad. I had a few patients of mine curious about the diet and decided to research it a little further to give them an accurate idea of how dangerous it could be. It’s really quite a brilliant discovery by the Roman doctor that started it all decades ago. But as I’ve pointed out to my patients,
Just because it’s been around for decades and has a great philosophical idea behind it, it’s not guaranteed to be safe.
