Immediate treatment by a physiotherapist, bypassing a waiting list, can reduce problems with recurring low back pain, reveals a thesis from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. Many people suffer from low back pain, and most get better. However, those who suffer from long-term pain can find that their work, everyday, and leisure activities are limited to varying degrees.

You probably are asking right now, “What’s the heck of myofascial release?” Yeah, it’s like massage, but it doesn’t really feel like massage.

But the standard testing on Lyme disease is only 50-60% effective, which many doctors do not know. This means which even if you have been checking it…
My current Lyme / Fibromyalgia pharmacist was just starting to work. Under his care, I have made marvelous progress. He’s by no means the best physician I ever saw. Yes, it’s all right! I would like to be able to clone him and send him all of you needing a great doctor! I’d say I’m about 2/3 the way from fibromyalgia and Lyme recovered. I have had some other health conditions since 2013 that have…
