So the year is starting and most of us would have set new year resolutions. For a few number of us, this will include weight loss or muscle gain. The question we get asked a lot is if ketogenic diets work for long-term weight (or fat) loss. We came across some very good research and we are sharing them with you!
You have probably experienced shoulder pain at some point in your life. For most of us, the pain was short-lived and resolved by itself without complications. Not all of us are this lucky though. You might be living with chronic shoulder pain for a while now. Today, we give you five reasons why your shoulder hurts (based on the latest research as we know it).

Let’s put this straight – going to an evidence-based chiropractor is likely a better option than getting a massage for your pain. Evidence based chiropractors in Singapore are musculoskeletal experts. We are trained to make a diagnosis based on a thorough history and assessment. This allows us to develop a treatment plan that is personalised to your complaint, and allows for more effective and long-term pain relief.
Musculoskeletal pain affects up to 44 per cent of Singaporeans (The Straits times, 2015) and the number of people with knee pain has doubled since World War II (Science, 2017). But is knee surgery the solution to your problem?
