Lifestyle medicine focuses on six areas or pillars:
Keep your kids active and injury-free during National Youth Sports Week Jul 20 to Jul 26 and throughout the rest of summer. The benefits of youth sports and exercise outweigh the risk of injury. Physical activity in kids helps to reduce the risk of obesity and diabetes, improve social skills, and increase team-building skills.
Tennis elbow is one of the most common injuries of the elbow but, despite the name, it's actually more common in non-tennis players than those wielding rackets. The fancy name for tennis elbow is "lateral epicondylitis," which describes the bony area on the elbow (lateral epicondyle) where the tendons become irritated or inflamed ("itis" means inflammation).
