Her stories, based on romantic themes, also present a healthy dose of intrigue, mystery, religion, and murder. While Rae's books could be said to be Christian books as they present a number of Christian themes, it would be more appropriate to term them 'edgy' Christian. Tears ...

Budding bunions aren't something to scoff at. A bunion is an unnatural bump at the base of the big toe. If it's unnatural, it's only natural to treat it, especially if you experience pain while walking. Since it is a "bony bump," foot creams can't fix it. To alleviate pain during daily activities, roomy shoes, bunion pads and non-prescription pain medicine are used to decrease the pressure placed on the bunion. However, nonsurgical treatments don't always produce the desired outcomes. "If a bunion is progressive, surgical removal of the bone deformity may be required. ...

While plantar fasciitis might be one of the most common foot problems, this doesn't mean that one type of treatment works best for everyone. It's normal for patients to respond differently to treatment, which is why the doctors at the Foot & Ankle Institute utilize a number of solutions for plantar fasciitis. One may ask, what is plantar fasciitis? It's commonly refereed to as "heel pain," but the formal name comes from plantar fascia, which is the band of tissue that connects the toes to the heel bone. The heel pain is caused by irritation of the plantar fascia, ...

The majority of the U.S. population owns some type of electronic device.

"We realized an online presence is becoming the best way for patients to seek out general questions and concerns. If they have a specific foot problem, ...

Many people will never experience a broken bone. It's a less common incident, which is why it's considered an emergency. The same can't be said for dental emergencies. Teeth and gums are put in harms way every day. The food and drinks people consume can produce bacteria and acid that are harmful to tooth enamel. "People consider cavities a common dental problem, not an emergency. However, certain stages of tooth decay can be considered a major concern, especially if a tooth's structure is damaged due to severe dental decay. Ignoring dental hygiene practices at home ...
