• New guidelines on lower back pain from a therapist’s point of view

  Heidi Dawson Medical & Allied Healthcare

  Last week, the American College of Physicians updated its guidelines on the treatment of patients with "non-specific lower back pain." A review study was published online in The Annals of Internal Medicine that looked at research carried out up until November 2016 and included only randomized, controlled trials and systematic reviews. The findings led the ACP to promote the use of therapeutic aids and stress reduction techniques, more so than the prescription of painkilling and anti-inflammatory medications.

  While you certainly can't run a business on the basis of free services, there is a strong case to be made for periodically offering up your services without charge.

  "You really have to see my doctor, he’s the best." The reason we feel free to endorse our physicians is that we have faith in in their competence. After all, if we did not, it might call our personal judgment into question. Think about that the next time you ask for a recommendation for a medical professional. I think this applies to the mechanics we choose as well.

  Bob Kowalski Sports & Fitness

  Strength, agility and muscle control are attributes of successful dancers, but those elements refer to athletes as well. The two pursuits have much in common, although sometimes that is not immediately obvious to the uninitiated. To those trained in dance, the similarities can be profound.

  Keith Carlson Medical & Allied Healthcare

  Not long ago, nurse practitioners seemed mostly to be employed in physician offices, community and university health centers, and so-called "minute clinics." In the midst of a growing shortage of primary care physicians, there is much in the news these days about NPs moving even more deeply into primary care. Concurrently, the growing presence of APRNs in the acute care setting is raising eyebrows among physicians and providing patients with more opportunities to receive hospital-based care from highly qualified nurse practitioners.

  Bambi Majumdar Travel, Hospitality & Event Management

  Technology is often a synonym for progress. Yet, when it leads to crime, we may find it easy to revert to simpler, pre-tech methods. Romantik Seehotel Jaegerwirt, a 111-year-old hotel in Austria, has had a harrowing time thanks to cybercrime.
