New Study Shows Manual Physical Therapy and Exercise Produces Significant Improvements in Neck Pain |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
Alexandria, VA, December 12, 2008 — The American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) is urging patients with musculoskeletal pain to consider treatment by a physical therapist, in light of a new federal survey showing that more than one-third of American adults and nearly 12 percent of children use alternative medicine - with back and neck pain being the top reasons for treatment. Results of the 2007 survey of more than 32,000 Americans were released December 11 by the National Institutes of Health's National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine.
According to APTA, physical therapy offers an evidence-based, time-tested solution to these common conditions in comparison to alternative treatments.
For neck pain, for example, a recent study published in the medical journal Spine found that when patients received up to six treatments of manual physical therapy and exercise, they not only experienced pain relief, but were also less likely to seek additional medical care up to one year following treatment. |

Occupational therapists help individuals accomplish new year’s resolutions. |
| |
 |
Approximately 50 percent of individuals make at least one New Year’s resolution each year. However, research suggests a third of these resolutions are dropped within the first week, and less than a quarter survive the six-month point. So, how can you make a New Year’s resolution that will stand the test of time? The American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) says resolutions rooted in research-based occupational therapy practices are the most likely to be successful.

Seared steaks with carmelized onions & gorgonzola. |
| |
 |
In our humble opinion, steak is best topped with sweet caramelized onions and salty Gorgonzola cheese. We recommend seeking out good-quality Gorgonzola for the best flavor, but any will work. Serve with garlic mashed potatoes and steamed carrots.
