Prompt Treatment Speeds Healing After a Car Accident Injury, According to Dunedin Chiropractor
DUNEDIN, Fla., May 17, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wolstein Chiropractic and Wellness Center in Dunedin, FL is raising awareness about the importance of prompt treatment for car accident injuries. According to Dr. Karen Wolstein, many patients suffer chronic back pain and neck pain due to the buildup of scar tissue following an accident injury. Prompt treatment ensures that the underlying injury properly heals, which minimizes scar tissue. Dr. Wolstein uses chiropractic care to restore alignment to the body. She frequently combines adjustments with complementary treatments like massage therapy, which may help promote internal healing and naturally relieve pain. (Source: Medical News (via PRIMEZONE))

A labor of love: Life with total parenteral nutrition
By Kathryn Michalski Peter When my son Peter and I go out, it’s not unusual for people to fawn over him a bit. “What a happy kid.” “He’s so smart.“ “It makes me smile when I see him,” we often hear. As a mom raising a child with as many health issues as Peter has faced, these comments brighten my day. Peter was born with an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in his liver, meaning his veins and arteries weren’t connected properly. When he was just seven months old, the AVM completely disrupted the blood flow to his liver and small intestine, causing multiple holes in his small intestine. He became gravely ill after that. At our local hospital, Peter had one surgery to remove the AVM and three more to salvage what was left of his intestines. When it was a...
