One of the things about education is that you have to make corrections when people are wrong. Education is always important because "give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime". Right? In my work as a chiropractor, I teach [...]

A week ago, a referral from a friend reached out to be about a case. It doesn't sound too complex. It sounds like a chronic musculoskeletal injury (e.g., joint sprain, muscle strain) that was recently re-injured again. The person was in a lot of pain, already sought care from other practitioners and wanted some help. [...]

One thing I really don't like about the Singapore government is that they don't really acknowledge shortcomings or limitations. Unless they are the perfect government, there must be something they can do better right? The second thing I don't like is that there are no published action steps in terms of what they will do [...]

With HYROX-affiliated gyms all around Singapore, from Upper Jurong Road (Anytime Fitness D’Arena Jurong) all the way to Loyang (BFT Loyang), it is clear that Singaporeans are loving HYDROX. Today, I will discuss what I think of HYROX from a chiropractor's perspective. What is HYROX? Honestly, I feel like HYROX is a simplified, standardised CrossFit. [...]

The current sunscreen testing brouhaha in Australia is honestly causing a lot of unnecessary ruckus. Enough for the Australian government, specifically the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) to step in. CHOICE, subscription-based website in Australia, released their sunscreen report. In the report, they tested 20 SPF 50+ sunscreens and found that 16 did not meet their [...]

As a chiropractor, I am mindful of the protein intake of my clients. Protein is the building block for muscles, and having adequate protein intake is important when it comes to exercising. For older clients, lower protein intake can lead to sarcopenia or even osteoporosis. One of my reservations when it comes to eating out, [...]

As a chiropractor, I am glad that people are starting to talk about healthcare costs or at least healthcare costs in the future. Two days after my previous post about commercial rental of a chiropractic clinic in Singapore, Health Minister Ong Ye Kung claimed on his Facebook post to be dismayed about the $52k per [...]
