School Bus Safety Tips As summer is coming to an end and the new school year is right around the corner, it is a great idea to sit down with your kids and remind them of some school bus safety tips that will reduce their chance of getting hurt. As I was reviewing school bus safety on www.safekids.org for my own kids, I thought to myself, surely our kids get a refresher on these safety rules from the school, but the scary realization is that they probably do not. Unfortunately, in my line of work, I have seen some tragic accidents resulting in severe, life-changing injuries for adults and children alike. My hope is that...

Morning dew coating the fairway at the City Park Golf Course. The wind gently air blowing through my, well ... bald head as I step up to the first tee. My first thought was, "please don't slice, please don't slice." As the day carried on, filled with good conversations and laughter, the temperature in Baton Rouge slowly creeped up as it often does. However, the light and airy cotton blend polo I was wearing (early Father's Day present! courtesy my wife's gig at Red Stick Moms Blog) allowed me remain...

Does Increased Screen Time Affect Eyesight?  Whether we like it or not, children are getting more and more screen time, both at home and school, now that educational materials are digital. At school, children are given laptops and tablets to use to follow along with their teacher during classwork.

And while at home, students are often required to complete assigned lessons through their teacher’s website.  Having educational resources readily accessible online is a great way to aid in learning, but it can also cause eye strain due...

I’ve never even given this a thought; okay well I have. But it was more like “one day” instead of realizing how important it is to take care of yourself. Maybe it’s because I am always doing something or wanting to make sure everyone else’s needs around me are cared for. But I’m slowly realizing once you give give give, your tank will eventually get low and you won’t be able to give 110% anymore. Which will eventually result in you not being as happy as you are meant to be. And...

Patients and doctors alike often overlook a fairly common source of lower back pain, especially in women who have had a baby: the sacroiliac joint, or SI joint for short. You may be all too familiar with persistent lower back pain and you may feel it is somehow related to your pregnancy. You may have even read about pelvic girdle pain, also called postpartum pelvic girdle pain or PPGP. It’s a major health issue among women who have given birth. The fact is, about 25% of women experience lower back pain after their pregnancy. A real frustration for many mothers. What’s more startling? Nearly 5% of all pregnant...
