From trouble sleeping to work stress to anxiety to depression, we all have difficulty managing our emotions at times. It’s part of being human. And addressing these issues is a vital part of what we do as a primary care practice, because your emotional well-being is essential to your overall health and wellness.
We’ve redesigned the doctor’s office experience to fit your life, put you at ease, and treat you as a whole person. We create safe and inviting spaces,
ask meaningful questions, give you time to talk, and listen without judgment. Then we work with you on a plan to help you feel your best — whether you want to sleep better, feel calmer, worry less, or get a better handle on your mood.
To continue shedding a light on mental health issues, we teamed up with the award-winning musicians from Bear and a Banjo to create a song showing people they’re not alone. See how the project came to life in the video above — and if you’re struggling, we can help.
Sports Injury Therapy
We provide Individualized Physical Therapy services
Injury Risks :
Any sort of physical activity or sports carry the risk of injuries. Researchers say that 10 million sports injuries occur each year. But luckily, the benefits of engaging in sports far outweigh the risks. Most people experience minor sports-related injuries, and a few experience serious injuries. The most frequent type of sports injuries is strains, sprains, bruises while more serious injuries can be broken bones and torn cartilages.
How to Prevent the Risk of Sports Injuries :
- Warm up before any sports activity. It will make your muscles more flexible.
- Learn the proper way of playing the sport you are participating in.
- Start slow and gradually increase the intensity of the sport. Don’t rush or force yourselves into a sport that has just been picked up.
- Always wear protective and well-fitting equipment for each sport including footwear.
- Ensure that you have a well-balanced diet to nourish your body.
- Take in adequate fluid before, during and after the sports activity to prevent injuries from dehydration.
- Take breaks in between practice or playing sports.
- Cooling down after exercising or participating in any sports activity is as important as warming up.
- Rest well to avoid injuries due to fatigue.
Treatment for Sports Injuries :
If you get injured, the main aim should be to control the bodies inflammatory response. The first course of action is to reduce swelling, pain and blood flow. This can best be remembered with the acronym, RICE.
Rest – Rest is particularly important at this stage in order not to worsen the injury and to prevent further damage. Stop the activity right away!
Ice – Apply a cold pack or bag of ice to the injured area as soon as possible until the swelling is gone. Ensure you don’t apply ice directly to the skin.
Compression – Bandage the injury firmly but not so tightly to reduce swelling.
Elevation – Elevate the injured part of your body at heart level or above to prevent additional swelling and pain.
Still, following this method will work for minor injuries and not major ones. So, if you don’t feel well, consult a professional. In the case of sports injuries, consulting a physical therapist would always be the better choice.
