As the onslaught of health challenges facing society continues to emerge, there is a need to support the body in its light to optimize health. This month we have articles on health optimization through natural processes.
Let’s start with the feature article "Functional Medicine in Practice De-coding Detoxification.” This is part 1 of a two-part series that details how we can improve our gut health, leading to overall well-being through a healthy Phase 1 & Phase 2 Detoxification process in the liver. Flip to page 16 now to learn more.
Then, Spinal Curve expert Dr. Dennis Woggon uncovers some of the risks associated with a commonly prescribed antibiotic, and its association with neurotoxicity, in the article ‘Treatment for Fluoroquinolone Patients,” beginning on page 22.
For those chiropractors in the battle against pain, Dr. Eric Kaplan sheds some light on his findings, based on an analysis of the approved treatments associated with epidural steroid injections (ESI), corticosteroids, and the risks related to their use. To many, these risks go unknown and unexplained. Read the article “Epidural and the FDA,” beginning on page 30.
All this and more, including recent changes to medicare reporting that will affect your EHR (p. 12), to Bovine colostrum, and its immune-enhancing effects (p. 26). From disability insurance for chiropractors and patients (p. 46) to lawsuits you may be unknowingly exposed to (p.36), recognizing AAA (p. 52) and even an article on the new trend of “Blood Flow Restriction” to enhance mass and injury recovery (p.58), this issue is packed. Read from cover to cover, for your professional enhancement and the benefits of your patients.
