Kenneth has been treating a knee injury I suffered last year as well as an elbow strain and the results have been great. Not only has the treatment been effective, he has taken the time to educate me on causes of these injuries and how to prevent them in the future. He also offers additional suggestions that I can implement at home to improve my progress. Lastly, his personal approach makes me feel comfortable, relaxed and completely at ease.

Healthy Sitting Posture for the Lower Back
Quite often our patients ask us what the best sitting posture is. Based on our own review of the pertinent literature, we recommend the following…
Maintain Lumbar Lordosis - Several studies have found that a flat or flexed spine (pictured on the right) causes the lower back muscles to relax. Although this may sound beneficial, it places a greater strain on passive structures like intervertebral discs, ligaments and joint capsules. Lumbar lordosis (pictured on the left) loads the various structures of the lower back more evenly so that one area is not exposed to excessive forces. Learn More...

Laser Therapy and Achilles Tendon Injury
Laser therapy has been used in clinical practice for the treatment of musculoskeletal injuries for over 26 years. As with other healthcare applications utilizing laser technology, knowledge of this modality has grown considerably since its inception. A recent study published in the American Journal of Sports Medicine examined the usefulness of low intensity laser therapy for the treatment of achilles tendon injury. A significant difference was found between the treatment group and the placebo group, with the laser patients healing much faster. Specifically, the laser group achieved the same level of healing in 4 weeks that the placebo group achieved in 12 weeks. (Eccentric strengthening of the tendon was given to both study groups since this has been established in the literature as beneficial for overuse tendon injuries). For those readers seeking a viable treatment approach for their Achilles tendon injury, this recent research supports an approach combining low intensity laser therapy and eccentric exercise.
