Post image for Are Dental Implants Right For You?

When my dentist first told me I was missing my lateral incisor, thrilled was definitely not the emotion I was feeling. After he determined that I was only missing one of my lateral incisors, the next step was discussing what our plan of action was going to be. I had the option of just pulling my teeth together, or separating them to make room for a dental implant to replace my missing lateral incisor. For symmetry reasons, option B sounded like the better choice. So after several years of braces, my teeth were separated and I was left with a space to place the implant.

Post image for What is a Physical Exam for Sports?

A physical exam for sports, also known as a preparticipation physical examination (PPE), helps determine whether it’s safe for you to participate in a particular sport. Most states require kids to get physicals before joining any sport or before each season begins. However, even if your school doesn’t require you to get a physical before the school year begins, doctors still highly recommend getting one (even if it might not sound like the most appealing thing in the world).

Well, today, we have video of the entire LASIK surgery! The outcome: success! The video: a tad graphic, but like watching a surgery show in television… fascinating :D

Post image for You Don’t Have To Be Intimidated by a Deep Tissue Massage

When a lot of people hear the term ‘deep tissue massage’ they may initially be turned off because of what people have told them or maybe because of a prior painful experience. I’ve never gotten a deep tissue massage, but I have heard stories about it being quite painful. However, for people who are suffering from muscle aches or strains, they shouldn’t avoid a deep tissue massage because with such injuries, a “deeper form of massage is needed, but it can be done in ways that will not create more pain or tissue damage,” reports EmpowHer.com.

Post image for When’s the Right Time To Get a Sports Massage?

If you’re not sure what exactly a sports massage is, it “was originally developed to help athletes prepare their bodies for optimal performance, recover after a big event, or function well during training. Sports massage emphasizes prevention and healing of injuries to the muscles and tendons,” reports Spas.About.com. You don’t have to be an athlete to benefit from a sports massage though; if you suffer from chronic pain, any injury or restricted range of motion, a sports massage can help you.
