Whether you walk or stand for long periods of time, your feet can become tired, sore and painful from your efforts. Walking or standing on hard pavement, such as concrete and asphalt, can make your problems even worse, especially if you develop pain in the arches of your feet. If you tend to soak your feet every night in epsom salt or another treatment, it may not be enough to ease your discomfort.
As soon as you notice the emergence of back pain, it's in your best interest to call your local chiropractic clinic as quickly as possible and schedule an appointment as soon as you're able. Doing so is especially advantageous if you're suffering from sharp, acute pain, which is often the result of having a herniated disk. This condition, in which one of the disks in your spine becomes forced out of its natural alignment with the other disks, can be extremely painful and can occur quickly as a result of a major injury or over time, for example, as a result of chronic poor posture.
If you have Multiple Sclerosis, you're not alone. According to statistics, approximately 400,000 Americans suffer from the debilitating disease.

Hello there! I'm Jessica Goodyear. I am an unofficial expert on cosmetic procedures--mostly because I've had a lot of them done. Some people judge me or think I'm fake, but I feel more like myself than I ever have before! It all started when I was a teenager. I broke my nose playing softball, and I had to have plastic surgery on my nose so that I could breathe properly. But my nose looked different afterwards, and I liked it better! Now I save up my money to get something done every few years. Whether it's teeth whitening or veneers, a little bit of liposuction, or new cheekbones, there's something so satisfying about letting your inner beauty shine out through your outer body. I started this site to help break the stereotypes about cosmetic surgeries and to talk about some of the health risks related to them. Check it out!
