  How and Why Do Vaccines Work?...
  ...And Which Ones Do We Really Need?


Vaccines help protect us from diseases and reduce the number of disease cases. Immunizations usually contain a tiny amount of the organism that causes the disease. It is enough to stimulate our immune system and form an antibody to combat the disease. Many vaccines are given only once, but some require several doses over time, or booster shots. Children and adults alike need to keep their immunizations up-to-date and also need to know their immunization history

  Great Ways to Manage or Reduce Pain.

Pain is NOT normal so when you do have pain, your body is telling you something is wrong…

We all have experienced body pain at some point in our lives. Remember when you fell off your bike and scraped your elbow and knee, and it hurt like crazy. Your Mom probably cleaned up the scrapes, put a band-aid on and gave it a kiss to make it all better. And as a kid, that usually worked. But, there are many degrees of pain and even more ways to cope with and treat pain. Sometimes pain is short lived and for others pain is a constant, every day condition. We can put pain in a few categories, chronic or acute pain.

Pain management does take a lot of work but over time it becomes second nature and hopefully with the right combination of therapies you can start living the life you once had before the pain.
