An injury to your brain can affect every part of your life...from your physical mobility, to your ability to speak, to your fine motor skills, to your memory, and more. Some patients say their families even notice a change in their personalities! After your medical care, you’ll need rehabilitation to see lasting improvements. HealthSouth’s brain injury rehabilitation program has made a difference in the lives of patients who have suffered from traumatic brain injury, stroke, aneurysm, seizure, brain tumor, motor vehicle accident, fall, battlefield injury, or other neurological deficits.

“Head off A/C issues before they become a way of life,” says Brian Jackson of Jackson Air and Heat in Sugar Land. “March is a great time to get ready for summer. You don’t want to wait until it’s 90+ outside and your system stops. We strongly encourage a maintenance inspection every spring. And definitely call if something is ‘not quite right.’ Decreased air flow, strange noises, moldy odors, ice on the unit or pipes, water dripping outside, constantly tripped breakers or blown fuses, and shorter than usual A/C cycles are all symptoms of a system not in good working condition. And nipping them in the bud may protect you from major equipment failure down the line. Plus poorly functioning systems are typically accompanied by a higher utility bill...all the more reason to get it checked out!”

Local podiatrist and founder of Foot & Ankle Associates, Dr. Marco A. Vargas is an expert in foot biomechanics, the study of the structure and function of the foot. “The heel bone is the largest of the 26 bones in the human foot, which also has 33 joints and a network of more than 100 tendons, muscles, and ligaments,” says Dr. Vargas, “and heel pain is one of the most common reasons people come to see me. While medication, injections and over the counter shoe inserts can be part of your treatment, they usually offer only partial or temporary pain relief because they do not address the underlying problem which is the structure and function of the foot. My goal for my patients is permanent relief from heel pain!”
