Muscle Stripping: The provider uses his or her hands to evaluate the texture, tightness and movement of muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments and nerves. Abnormal tissues are treated by combining precisely directed tension with very specific patient movements.

Headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems, and tennis elbow are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved quickly and permanently with muscle stripping. These conditions all have one important thing in common: they are often a result of overused muscles.

Stroke is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States

Up to 80 percent of all strokes are preventable through lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, normalizing your blood sugar levels and blood pressure, and quitting smoking

Recent research shows that those with vitamin C deficiency are at an increased risk for hemorrhagic stroke. In an earlier study, people with high blood levels of vitamin C reduced their stroke risk by 42 percent

Research also suggests that iron deficiency can increase your risk of ischemic stroke if you have hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, a hereditary disease that causes enlarged blood vessels in your lungs

Sun exposure can reduce your stroke risk both by elevating your vitamin D levels, and by inducing nitric oxide in your skin, which helps normalize your blood pressure
