Remember the old adage “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure?” Well it’s still true! From my observation, unfortunately, it’s not how most people think and act. It’s rare that a patient comes to the office saying, “I feel great and I want to stay feeling great, that’s why I’m here!”

Our cells and systems are continually communicating, liver to large intestine, heart to chest and arm, ankle to hip (etc.) – AND adrenal glands to the knees.

Treatment may also involve recommending specific nutrients to speed up the healing process.
