Thinking of going under the knife for lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS)?  According to a new study, you can have equal success skipping surgery and going straight to physical therapy.

The word exercise comes from the Latin exercere, meaning to keep busy or at work.  But what the typical adult does at work is sit in a desk chair for eight hours, plus a sitting-down commute both ways and an evening spent in front of the TV. This is a recipe for ruin. Sitting all day increases our risk for obesity and puts us at risk for back pain, poor posture, leg cramps, tense muscles and sheer boredom.

Runners are constantly battling the effects of inflammation, and these foods aren’t helping.
