Five days a week, one each day, for 2 to 3 weeks. If patients are coming from out of town, plan on staying 3 weeks in case we need to use the full 3 weeks of treatment. There are reasonable hotels nearby for out of town patients — and it’s cheaper than a hospital stay if you don’t have insurance.

It all depends on the diagnosis and the physician’s referral (if required). Most patients are treated two to three times per week and decrease frequency as the problem becomes less acute.

Recently I noticed how annoying it is to stumble across a blog and not know for sure who's writing it or what it is about. When this happens, I feel like I spend a lot of time and energy trying to catch up. Sort of like coming into the second half of a movie and not knowing the name of any of the characters or if the monkey with a Mohawk is significant to the plot line or just a cute extra. I have to figure some people come here and have the same feeling.

If your dog has just started on medication, be patient. It frequently takes several adjustments in medications before the right dose and combination of medications are found.

quot;Mild gas bloating may occur after Nissen fundoplication. This is a feeling of fullness particularly after meals, which will be less of a problem as the patient learns to eat more slowly and smaller meals. Avoiding carbonated beverages and greasy or heavy foods, and taking a Reglan tablet a little while before meals will also help. Usually this symptom tapers off after several days or a few weeks. Certain aspects of my operative technique have helped to minimize this problem for my patients.

You may have heard the notion that once you go to a chiropractor you have to keep going back. Before we answer that question, ask yourself how many times you have visited a dentist? Like most people, you've probably gone dozens of times. Why? Quite simply, to prevent your teeth from literally rotting out of your head. Once we have eliminated your pain and rehabilitated the injured tissues we do recommend that you maintain a schedule of periodic spinal checkups.
