					  <description><![CDATA[Many of us hear the word concussion and can't imagine it ever happening to us.&nbsp; Statistics show that most of us have suffered a mild concussion at least once on our lives but didn't know that the headache we felt after that "fall" meant that we had a concussion.&nbsp; Most concussions are considered mild and resolve within a day or two.&nbsp; Those are the ones that we forget about until 10 years or so later when getting evaluated for "headache" by our physician and the questionnaire asks, "Have you had any serious head trauma?"...&nbsp; Please note that any and all head trauma is potentially serious.<br/> <script type="text/javascript"><!--

					  <title><![CDATA[Plantar Fasciitis]]></title>
					  <link>http://www.aspenforhealth.com/archive/articles/7/1/Plantar-Fasciitis/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[So, you have pain on the bottom of your feet, and you were diagnosed with plantar fasciitis. When you try to explain this to someone, all you can remember is that it's called "plantar- something." Well, I can help you with this; the words can be broken down easily to explain the condition. Plantar means bottom of the foot. Fascia is fibrous tissue that supports muscle and skin. The suffix, -itis, means inflammation. Put them all together (after you drop the "a" from fascia) and you have a word that is also a diagnosis, inflammation of the supporting tissue on the bottom of the foot. Easy, right? Easy, perhaps, if you don't suffer from the condition. Plantar fasciitis is very painful and it can take a long time to heal. ]]></description>

					  <link>http://www.aspenforhealth.com/archive/articles/8/1/Whiplash-and-trauma-resulting-from-motor-vehicle-collisions/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[In June of 2006, I attended the International Whiplash Trauma Congress presented by the Spinal Injury Foundation, and co-sponsored by Oregon Health Sciences University School of Medicine&#8217;s Center for Health Communities and, my alma mater, Western States Chiropractic College. The speakers were a prestigious multidisciplinary faculty from biomechanics, chiropractic, engineering, epidemiology, medicine and neurophysiology. I am very impressed by the commitment of the international community to study whiplash and other motor vehicle crash- related injuries, and to share the trauma research and the latest developments in diagnosis and treatment. ]]></description>
