Can injuries be prevented?
Preventing injuries sometimes just takes a little thought and time.

Why do changes in weather make my old injuries hurt?
Research has shown that bad weather causes a drop in atmospheric pressure, which makes soft tissue swell and fluid around the joints expand. The expansion and contraction of muscles can also irritate damaged nerves (from old injuries) and cause pain. It is therefore important to receive appropriate treatment for your injury to prevent further complications.
-
Are there any home care tips for my acute injury?
