If you are interested, this Saturday (10/18) I will be giving a lecture to the L.A. Roadrunners on common running injuries, and stretching. The lecture will start around 9:45AM and will last approximately 30 minutes.
The lecture will be located at an Elementary School just south of the corner of Main Street and Abbot Kinney in Venice. (you can't miss it). I will be at the Gym. Feel free to stop by and bring a friend if you like.

Vitamin D - Got some?
Today in the Health Section of the LA Times there as a brief note by a reader on vitamin D and it's impact on arthritis pain.
One reader reported tremendous benefits from increasing her Vitamin D.
Vitamin D is a very complex vitamin with multiple benefits. Since it has a huge impact on bone health, it's not surprising that an increase in it's intake helped with arthritis pain.
In order to learn more about vitamin d go to http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/vitamind.asp
Are you in need of more vitamin D?

Book Review
Ok, this is not necessarily a chiropractic related blog, but it did come about from the recommendation of on one of my patients.
I just finished the book Three Cups of Tea. I highly recommend anyone to read this book. I'm not even going to try to attempt to describe the book, but I can tell you that you can only learn and be inspired by work of Greg Mortenson and the Central Asia Institute.
This is not fiction, which is why it makes it all more powerful. I hope you enjoy the read,

Want to Cleanse and loose weight?
I often get asked if I know of any cleanses, and what I think about them. In todays society our diet is full of things we probably shouldn't be eating. We've gotten away from wholesome organic home cooked meals, to ready-made, preservative and chemical filled foods, and fruits and vegetables grown in nutrient depleted soils.
A cleanse is a way to give your body a break from all the junk we eat, and let it "reset" (for lack of a better word).
One of my favorite cleanses is from a company called Standard Process. They have this great 21-day cleanse, which instead of starving you (like other cleanses do) allows you to eat as much of you want of fresh fruits and vegetables, plus you take 2-3 tasty shakes per day. In addition to that, you take organ support whole food supplements in order to NOT deprive your body of essential nutrients while you cleanse. This cleanse was designed as an organ detox cleanse. The byproduct of the cleanse is usually 8-20 pounds worth of weight loss in 3 weeks!.
If you are interested in purifying your body, loosing weight, or both, call my office at 310-993-8482 and set up an appointment to discuss how this cleanse can help you too!

Track your steps! Gadget Review
Dear Friends,
so, I just got a new iPhone and just downloaded this cool FREE application called Trailguru. This cool gadget lets you track your mileage, time, altitude change, speed, time moving, time stopped, and more. Once you record a run, trek, walk, you can then send it to the website and create an account to track your workouts, miles done, etc.
There are some downsides to the application. For example, to use it, it has to be in the "foreground" of the iPhone, so in essence it does not allow you to use the rest of the phone while tracking. But if you are in the hills, or working out, you shouldn't be talking on the phone anyways, right?!!!!
I hope you enjoyed the review. For more info on Trailguru, visit their website or look them up on your iPhone.

Chiropractic and Knee Pain
Even though surgical intervention may be the right answer for many suffering from knee pain, conservative chiropractic and physiotherapy may be just as effective, or better in some cases. Today, in the health section of the L.A.Times there was a great article on the efficacy of arthoscopyc surgery and knee pain.
The jest of the article states that in many cases, conservative care fares much better than surgical intervention.
I have seen many patients with knee pain in my office, and for the most part, I've been able to help them get back to their respective activities. For a full copy of the article go to see full article.
Common treatments for knee pain include:
- Myofascial release
- Mobilization of the joint
- Kinesiotape
- Therapeutic Ultrasound
- Custom arch supports (orthotics)
