December Massage Gift Certificate Promtion

Can't think of that perfect gift for a friend or family member?  During December, buy a one hour massage gift certificate for $65 and  receive a half hour gift certificate for free.   This is a great way to stretch your Holiday dollars or to give yourself a little bonus.

Smoking and your back

News about the negative aspects of smoking streams in every day.  Current research shows that smoking has a detrimental effect on the spinal discs.  Nicotine inhibits the synthesis and growth of disc cells.  Tobacco smoke may have a role in disc degeneration.....one of the primary reasons for back pain.  

My rule of thumb is that a smoker will take twice as long to recover from low back pain and is more likely to have multiple relapses.
