Over 2 million Americans suffer from a condition known as plantar fasciitis. The cause continues to be debated, although it said to be associated with inflammation of the plantar fascia and/or the result of degenerative changes in the connective tissue around a bone in the foot called the calcaneus (heel).

A drugless life – the ongoing road to naturally better health Part 4

Dr. Joshua Gelber2016-10-25T22:20:20-04:00

Back to Part 3 Striking a balance As a woman, there are certain symptoms that the medical community will tell you are “normal.” We are brought up to believe that monthly menstrual pain and the other less than comfortable and emotional “joys” that go along with it, are simply a fact of life if you are a woman. There’s even a biblical fable taught to children in religious school to justify it. When I first got my period as a teenager, I was not prepared for the severe cramping, back and leg pain and nausea that would greet me every month. [...]

iPosture Being Blamed for Back Pain Among Young Adults

Dr. Joshua Gelber2013-10-18T09:25:54-04:00

We have iPods, iPhones, iPads and now we have iPosture! An alarming number of 18 to 24-year olds are reporting back pain, and hand held electronics seem to be the cause. The pain is a product of the stooped body posture adopted by those who are texting, emailing or playing games on their iPods, iPhones, iPads and all other hand held electronic devices. The reported pain is leading to more lost work days per year as compared to previous generations. When operating your gadgets, hold them out in front of you or view them on a table propped at an angle, [...]

When Did You Get Your Very First Subluxation?

Dr. Joshua Gelber2010-10-20T09:00:16-04:00

Prolonged or difficult labor is our next exposure to possible trauma induced subluxations. The birth process [...]

Dr. Joshua Gelber2010-07-27T07:09:51-04:00

In my latest ThatChannel.com interview, the topic was posture. It's a simple but crucial topic for discussion - after being on holiday and having some vivid "people watching" time, it was apparent that kids these days, especially, are unaware of how poor posture will affect their future. Being proactive about posture is one of the single most important actions one can take! Enjoy! Dr J
