Kids coping with language barrier

Kids coping with language barrier

First of all, I’d like to thank all my readers who wrote in to share their own first day of school stories and cheered on my girls who’ve now entered their third week of school.

Eat moderately to avoid weight gain on Chuseok holiday

Acupuncture helps treat plantar fasciitis

There has been a noticeable increase in the number of patients visiting my clinic for pain in the bottom of their feet, especially in the heels.

Getting ready for first day of preschool

My twin girls will be going to preschool for the first time here in the U.S. and it feels like a bigger deal than it was for me going off to college.
