Dear Fellow Taxpayer, I would like to share just a couple of thoughts with you concerning the school bond election. If this bond passes, it will take over $500,000.00 dollars a year out of our local economy.

To the editor: There has been a lot of conversation happening around the Cambridge School Bond, and that’s great! But it’s important we distinguish truth from fear. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but opinions and assumptions are not facts. When it comes to making decisions that impact our school, students, and our community’s future, we must look at the facts.

Feeling Dizzy? How Physical Therapy Can Help You Find Your Balance

And more importantly, you are not without options.

Motion is Lotion; the Importance of Movement

Body
Orthopedic medicine is truly a team sport; we have the opportunity to collaborate withnonsurgical professionals, KW including physical m I 1 therapists, occupational therapists, athletic trainers, among others, to deliver comprehensive musculoskeletal care. While there are proven surgical options to help our patients where indicated, in many cases, patients are able to achieve pain relief and improved function with nonsurgical treatment options. Much of orthopedic surgical training is appropriately dedicated to the planning and execution of surgery, but it is also important to understand and recognize patients who present with conditions readily addressed without surgery and the accompanying risks of invasive procedures. It is also important to advocate the idea of prevention.

Dear Editor, We don’t tell the football team to hold games or even have practice in the gym We don’t tell the volleyball team to host matches on the track or at least practice there sometimes. We don’t tell the basketball teams to practice out on the playground.

Know Your Family History

Body
Foundational education as an RN with a BSN from South Dakota State University provided a broad understanding of how our bodies function. One of the lessons that was highlighted over the years was the need to pay attention to changes, e.g., my two sisters needed total knee replacement and so did I; my paternal grandfather had a massive stoke and died at the age of 61 years in 1948 from what? It was never diagnosed. My father thought that his dad, who was a farmer, was too stubborn to get regular check-ups from a physician and probably had heart problems in addition to his high blood pressure.

Oral health is a gateway to general wellness

Body
For much of modern healthcare, dentistry has existed apart from the broader medical system. Patients commonly have separate providers for medical and dental care, and this division is reflected in insurance models, education, and even cultural perception.
