Correct walking happens in the interim between point A and point B. As with most cliche lessons in life this requires attention to the journey as opposed to the destination, especially in the case when the journey involves putting one foot in front of the other recurrently. Correct walking strengthens the muscles of the legs, [...]

This is a system for guiding your thoughts, feelings, and reactions to operate according to the standard you set forth. The alternative without a system of this sort is that your thoughts, feelings, and reactions will set forth the standard according to which you operate. Most people without training fall into the latter category. Would [...]

I was considering some of the great thinkers and innovators of the past and present and the commonalities therein and it evoked the following passage. It might be an original quote or it might be a half-hearted rehashing of something from Lao Tzu’s Tao Te Ching. Either way, it was free to me, and now [...]

My homeless stint lasted 3 days. It was a reckless vacation choice rathar than an obligatory result of unfortunate circumstances. During that time I felt a parodoxical love for humanity that I only now, about 10 years later, understand. The mission: Spring break in Rosarito, Mexico with no accommodations. Supplies: Sleeping bags, money for alcohol and food (mostly alcohol), [...]

The capacity for decision consists not just of choosing between alternatives. We must 1st to decide to decide, rise from indecision to action even when inevitability appears inevitable (as it often does). As a caveat, remaining still and silent amidst chaos when poor courses of action appear compulsory; that level of poise lies within the [...]

Mental and emotional health techniques abound. Pick a flavor; they say to stop to smell the roses, close your eyes and breathe, think happy thoughts, surround yourself with positive people, start a new hobby, take a vacation, take a nap, smile, and when all else fails there’s always heroin (please do not actually choose heroin [...]

Frustration, pain, and persuasive surgeons can lead people to surgery before exhausting less invasive options. But innate healing mechanisms in the body can shrink protruding disks and release pinched nerves without anesthesia, scalpels, or hefty hospital fees. While surgery is sometimes unavoidable, it is wise to first explore other venues of care. The many that [...]

Non-invasive or non-surgical bone spur rehabilitation can seem an impossible task at first glance due to the simple fact that bones are hard. But at closer examination bone spur formation is generally precluded by soft tissue imbalances. These soft tissue imbalances lend themselves quite easily to noninvasive corrective therapies, that when applied ultimately result in [...]

Carpal tunnel syndrome is the impingement of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel (which is the space between the carpal bones that the median nerve passes through to get from the forearm to the wrist). Traditional western therapy involves anti-inflammatory medications, rest, exercise, or surgery to cut the transverse carpal ligament of the wrist [...]

Not all non-invasive therapy is the same. For successful treatment of neck pain accurate diagnosis is tantamount. This requires knowledge of western anatomical principles, as well as eastern holistic principles. It also requires extensive experience treating many patients that present with different patterns of neck pain. Come to Roots of Eastern Medicine Acupuncture Clinic for [...]

Not all pain is due to inflammation or arthritis Inflammation is the body’s response to a disease or disorder and not a disease itself. Inflammation is a necessary part of a healthy immune system. Anti-inflammatory medication, NSAIDs, and cortisone injections only stop the body’s response to the disease/ injury and not the disease/ injury itself. [...]

Almost any time there is pain, buzzwords like inflammation, inflamed, and the prefix -itis (which just means inflammation) can be thrown out haphazardly because inflammation is a component of most common pain symptoms. More often than not this definition is a comp-out however, as its easy to blame inflammation for pain, but it fails to [...]

This is a theory I came up with when I first started studying Chinese Medicine, inspired by financial inaccessibility to modern comforts; like a kitchen table, a couch, bed, or chairs. My only two items of furniture were a futon I put on the floor (which later became infested with mold and had to be [...]

Snoring at first glance seems an innocuous, comical, albeit annoying phenomenon. Nevertheless it is associated with mental, social, and physical complications. Snoring can disrupt marital and family life by interrupting the sleep of other family members. The snoring family member is at best poked fun at and at worst singled out, an isolated oddity subject [...]

If you have already tried changing footwear, expensive insoles, anti-inflammatory medications, and other supplementary tactics to treat Morton’s neuroma to no avail, you may be considering surgery or alcohol sclerosing injections to effectively kill the ‘malfunctioning’ nerve. Don’t go permanently severing the feeling from part of your body too hastily. Morton’s neuroma, has a simple, [...]

People in modern society have become insensitive to their own bodies. Their awareness is constantly outside of themselves. We place our minds in the computer, in the television, in our income taxes, in our next paycheck, in our wardrobe, in our car, in our retirement plan, etc. We tend to think about the future or [...]

The knee is the abused, misused, neglected until defected (when it defects from you, donates itself to science, and leaves in its absence a glorified door hinge that reduces overall functionality to the joint of a cheap promotional action figurine such as those designed by Hasbro or Mattel), disregarded but absolutely necessary middle man that’s [...]

Chinese medicine’s longetivity has a lot to do with its flexibility in applying general rules. There is always an exception to a rule, even the most basic. One of its more fundamental tenets; “Without proper circulation there is pain, and where there is no pain circulation is functioning properly,” also has exceptions, and as such [...]

Coughing happens when the body feels disagreeable stimuli in the breathing passages. It’s a ‘happening’ rather than a ‘doing’ because it’s involuntary (except when it’s voluntary). Involuntary, huh? This calls for completely unnecessary example. Enjoy! Sitting in a crowded lecture hall amidst a glazy-eyed audience you hear nothing but the robotic droning of a presenter [...]
