Pain is one of the most common reasons that people visit my office for treatment. That said, I thought I’d write a little bit on the topic.

The rotator cuff makes the headlines in shoulder pain as much as the sciatic nerve in low back and leg pain. It’s almost like referring to any brand of tissue as a “Kleenex®”, as if they are one and the same. Because it’s so popular, I thought I’d talk about it a bit. The rotator [...]

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) can be considered the most important joint in the body. In the 1950′s, two neurologists, Penfield and Rasmussen, stated that almost half of the motor and sensory nerves in the brain relate to the dental area.

The piriformis is a muscle that originates from the anterior (or front) part of the sacrum and inserts into the greater trochanter (the large “bump” on the outside of the upper thigh) of the femur. Its action is mainly to externally rotate (or “turn out”) the femur and hip. The sciatic is a bundle of [...]

This snapping sound is usually painless and harmless in the beginning stage, but it is annoying. This condition is usually found in the older population but it can also occur in young [...]

Carpal tunnel syndrome affects many people, so chances are you’ve heard of this condition. Unfortunately, though, I find that most people don’t really understand what it is and what can be done to help it.
