An Untrustworthy Knee

Patients often come in describing their knee as “feeling like it’s going to give way,” or “fees like I might fall.” 

This is often noticed most when going down stairs or steps.

The problem is likely a posterior proximal tibia----a backward misalignment of the large bone in the lower leg at its articulation at the knee. When this occurs, it causes a pulling on the achilles tendon in the back of the ankle, stressing the heel bone upward.

The adjustment is made to the proximal tibia, and also to the calcaneus, or heel bone. Both must be addressed to alleviate the problem.

Farmer's Footprint

Exposing the human & environmental impacts of chemical farming is the mission of “Farmer’s Footprint,” an organization encouraging and educating about better, healthier ways of food production.

The guiding premise is that“a century of monocrop farming and reliance on pesticides has damaged our nation’s once-fertile soils and the health of every American. The rapid increase in pesticide use over the past few decades has coincided with this explosion of chronic disease.”

Awareness is growing that glyphosate, the active ingredient in the herbicide Roundup, is implicated in many chronic diseases.
