LASIK

Hematuria

Hematuria can be one of two kinds. Blood that can be seen by the naked eye, called gross hematuria, and blood that cannot be seen by the naked eye, called microscopic hematuria. Either condition can occur with or without pain. Gross hematuria can be very surprising for a patient when pain is not present, and can cause much anxiety. Microscopic hematuria that has not been evaluated can also be a quandary for both the patient and physician.

Feel Better with Physical Therapy

If you have joint pain, then you know how much it can put a damper on life activities. Sometimes just getting out of bed to start your day is a monumental task. Sports and recreation will often create more soreness and it’s easy to lose motivation.

Chronic Tendon Or Heel Pain?

Over 10 million people in this country suffer from chronic tendon or heel pain of the foot! You have a job that requires you to be on your feet frequently; you use the same motions in your work or play, day in and day out; maybe you’ve suffered an injury in the past and, years later, you are experiencing pain. Chronic tendon pain, besides hurting, limits range of motion and prevents you from living your active life.

Celiac Disease

Celiac disease is an immune reaction to eating gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye.
If you have celiac disease, eating gluten triggers an immune response in your small intestine. Over time, this reaction produces inflammation that damages the small intestine’s lining and prevents absorption of some nutrients (malabsorption).
The intestinal damage can cause weight loss, bloating and sometimes diarrhea. Eventually, your brain, nervous system, bones, liver and other organs can be deprived of vital nourishment.

PRIMARY NOCTURNAL ENURESIS

Primary nocturnal enuresis (PNE) is a common pediatric condition that, in some cases, can lead to emotional distress, increased family distress, and lowering of the child’s self-esteem. It is estimated that 5-7 million children have this condition, with a higher percentage being boys than girls. Studies show that genetic factors play a significant role along with multiple physiological causes.

Why Does My Back Hurt?

For millions of Americans, back pain is a daily fact of life. 1 Many blame aging as the cause. 1 But for more than 700,000 women and men, the real culprit is vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) caused by osteoporosis. 2 In fact, VCFs are the most common complication from osteoporosis and often result in prolonged disability. 2,4,5 Back pain can be a surface symptom of a much deeper problem, namely osteoporosis.
