Racial Bias in Pain Management

Racial Bias in Pain Management

Danél Lombard, MPT, MA

The spotlight on the recent police brutality on black people has urged us all to take a closer look at systemic racism and how our silence and non-action is contributing to this ongoing problem. For far too long white privilege has played an unconscious role in our society. These unconscious forces fuel racism.  As a white physical therapist, I realized that educating myself on how systemic racism plays out in health care, specifically pain management is of ...

Is Your Body a Machine, or A Garden?

Is Your Body a Machine, or A Garden?

By Danél Lombard, MPT, MA, E-RYT

Have you ever had an unexplainable ache or pain that just wouldn’t budge? You went to the doctor, physical therapist, or chiropractor, and they explained to you precisely why you were having this pain from a structural viewpoint.

You experienced frustration, ...

Natural Pain Relief

By Bren Boston, MD

We will all experience pain at some time if our nerves are connected to our brain by an intact spinal cord.  Anything that stresses our body parts can cause pain.  That includes distention, swelling, tears, lacerations, microtears, strains, sprains, traction, shearing, laxity, degeneration, or overuse.  When our body is not in good shape, from a poor diet, lack of exercise, decline in elasticity, or chronic repetitive motion, we are more likely to experience an injury and pain.

Why I Believe in Prolotherapy

Why I Believe in Prolotherapy

 

By Dr. Bren Boston

For someone suffering from joint pain, prolotherapy can be a safe and effective way to get them back to their usual activities. My opinion is that a targeted treatment at the source of the problem is a better option than a systemic treatment that circulates to the entire body. Prolotherapy causes proliferative cells to migrate to the weakened area, targeting the problem.

Chronic joint pain is an astronomically common condition, especially given our aging population. In fact, ...
