Recognizing the Warning Signs of Shoulder Impingement

Do you repeatedly reach over your head, in sports like swimming or tennis or with your job? Or are you experiencing pain in your shoulder that makes it difficult to reach up over your head?

Addressing Speech Delays in Young Children

Most of us have no issue with speaking and even sometimes speak more than one language. However, the ability to speak actually stems from an extremely complex process. Infants begin to learn to speak by watching and listening to their parents, siblings, and those around them.  At a young age, infants will attempt to mimic what they hear by making various sounds and trying out their voice. While it may not sound like any words quite yet, it is the infant’s effort at communicating with others and the very basis of their future language.  When a child does not begin verbal expression within the normal time span expected of them, parents may begin to worry.

Exercise and Self-Care for Spinal Osteoarthritis

Spinal osteoarthritis – or spondylosis – is associated with aging and often affects the spine’s vertebrae and discs. Sometimes called degenerative disc disease, spondylosis does not always have symptoms, but is a common cause of spinal pain and problems.  Spondylosis occurs as the body ages and the discs that cushion the bones of the spine become stiff and break down. The bones can also grow bone spurs, which may push against a nerve root or the spinal cord and cause numbness, tingling, weakness, or a shooting pain in the buttocks and leg.  Back pain and numbness can be difficult to live with, but with proper self-care and exercises, you can start feeling better before you know it.
