Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery | Back Pain Treatment Options
Pain is such a simple word… it’s tough to imagine that it such as small word can describe the intense stabbing, aching, throbbing, burning, numbing sensation that makes it almost impossible for you to live the way you used to. North American Spine provides treatment options for people who have neck or back pain – often extending into fingers and legs – and who have not found relief from other treatments. If you have tried lifestyle changes, hot/cold compresses, medication, supervised exercise and physical therapy but still have chronic pain, don’t despair. North American Spine’s treatments have provided significant pain relief to patients who have not found relief from other treatments… including previous spine surgery. North American Spine’s minimally invasive, outpatient spine procedures provide additional benefits beyond pain relief. They also minimize scar tissue, and can provide faster recovery than other minimally invasive spine procedures.
Let's keep things simple this week.

Handmade Bath & Body with Lilith’s Apothecary
Fortunately for me, my love of herbal medicine coincided with a need for more nourishing, non-irritating products for my sensitive skin. I was more than delighted when one of my first teachers taught me the relatively simple process of making facial or body creams at home with simple kitchen tools. It seemed such an esoteric art, but happily, it’s not.
Mahatma Gandhi (First of 5 pages) Vinay Lal M ohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born in the town of Porbander in the state of what is now Gujarat on 2 October 1869. He had his schooling in nearby Rajkot, where his father served as the adviser or prime minister to the local ruler.

Manas: History and Politics, Mahatma Gandhi
A thin Indian man with not much hair sits alone on a bare floor, wearing nothing but a loincloth and a pair of cheap spectacles, studying the clutch of handwritten notes in his hand. The black-and-white photograph takes up a full page in the newspaper. In the top left-hand corner of the page, in full color, is a small rainbow-striped apple.

1. Ch'ien / The Creative above CH'IEN THE CREATIVE, HEAVEN below CH'IEN THE CREATIVE, HEAVEN The first hexagram is made up of six unbroken lines.
