Knowledge is the best medicine. Our advice on Housecalls is based on short conversation and no physical examination-not the way medicine should be practiced. We encourage you to read more about our topics by going to the library or on the Internet, then make an appointment and really talk with your doctor.

HOUSE CALLS CLASSIC: OH, MY ACHING BACK!
Millions of Americans have backaches on a regular, even chronic basis. Millions also have back surgery to relieve the pain. There's a growing trend by physicians to look at some alternatives to surgical procedures to relieve chronic stress on our spines. Today on House Calls, we revisit a conversation with Stacy Vella of Vella Chiropractic in Norfolk, and Jeffrey Goldstein, MD, an orthopedic surgeon and Assistant Professor of Othopaedic Surgery at New York University, on surgical and non-surgical treatments for back pain.
