Haven't posted in a long time, but this is a great article.

If you want to incorporate more plants into your diet, these legumes are a good place to start.

I don't read my google reviews and I usually don't even get notices when they get posted. I was emailed an alert that I had gotten a review. When I followed up, I was blown away by what this patient had written. Obviously, I am glad that I have this kind of effect on my athletes.



Dr. Ershow is truly a miracle worker. I am a highly-competitive powerlifter and from overuse during training while prepping for my next competition, I severely strained my lat and experienced a subluxation of my rib. I have been dealing with incredibly intense pain and stabbing rib spasms for approximately 6 weeks. After my initial visit with Dr. Ershow, there was instant pain relief in that I could finally take deep breaths again. A few days later, I returned to Dr. Ershow, and the pain relief has been almost unbelievable - no more spasms, and I am FINALLY experiencing a substantial degree of healing and recovery. Dr. Ershow not only has a strong understanding of deep tissue injuries, but also has a strong background in helping professional athletes like myself make a quick return to what they love. Dr. Ershow was thankfully recommended to me by a friend, and I, too, could not recommend him enough to others.

Dear Patients and Friends,
According to my physical therapist, John Walker, my rehab is going better than most of his previous post -surgical shoulder patients. Both John and my orthopedist believe I can slowly return to the office part time if I limit the movements in my left shoulder. I also need to be cautious on how much I use it.
So, the good news is that we’ll begin to open the office for a short window of hours starting February 14th. Our hours on Monday and Friday will be from 10 a.m.-12p.m. Our hours on Wednesday will be from 4 p.m.-6 p.m. If my shoulder does well, we’ll plan on slowly increasing the hours going forward. Jillian will still plan on being in the office to check the answering machine, field calls and make appointments next week on M-W-F from 12-2 p.m.
I am getting excited to see you in the office.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have health questions or concerns.

Sincerely,
Len Ershow

Dear Patients and Friends,
While I have not found an appropriately qualified doctor to cover our practice, I have some potentially good news. I recently had my 2nd follow up visit with the orthopedist and am starting physical therapy today. I may also be cleared to work part time earlier than expected. I am hoping to start some very limited hours in or around the beginning to middle portion of February. Of course, this will be based on how well physical therapy progresses and in consultation with my physical therapist. I believe I can make some accommodations to my injury and still be clinically effective. Time will tell, but I am hopeful.
For those not reading this in an email blast, I’ll continue to post on the Ershow Chiropractic Facebook (META) page and will be updating the telephone message to reflect any updates. Jillian will also be in the office from 12 midday till 2 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays to handle any other office questions that patients may have.
Maria Valte, a patient of ours, has given us permission to share her name and the fact she is running the NYC ½ Marathon as a fund raiser. I have shared this below and hope you can help her.
NYC Half Marathon for The Children of Peru Foundation.
The team will be raising funds for free surgeries for children in need. Please check out my link:

I am getting excited and look forward to posting our office hours soon.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have health questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Dear Patients and Friends,
I would like to wish you all a very Healthy, Happy and Safe New Year’s Eve and 2022.
My shoulder appears to be mending as expected. My next orthopedic appointment will hopefully clear me for physical therapy. I need to continue to use a sling until the 17th of January.
I have not found an appropriate doctor to cover the practice, but I’ll continue to keep my options open. I shall continue to keep you all informed as to the status of the practice and our plans to reopen as soon as possible.
I’ll continue to post on Facebook, but only on the Ershow Chiropractic Page going forward. For those who are on our email list, you will continue to receive these email blasts. If you aren’t on our email list (for those viewing this on Facebook), you can email me at ershowchiropractic@comcast.net and you’ll receive periodic updates via email blast. You can also call the office. The voice mail will change with the most recent updates.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have health questions or concerns.

To all my patients. I have emailed all those who I have contacts with. Please read this post about the temporary closing of our office.

Dear Patients,
I hope this holiday season finds you healthy. I know it has been a hard couple of years for all. I wanted to update you about the office.
Unfortunately, I am having shoulder surgery on December 10, 2021 and will be out for an extended period of time. Since my practice is so unique in terms of my sports medicine specialty and soft tissue approach to injury, I have been unable to find a qualified practitioner to cover my practice. I shall continue to search for the right individual to care for my patients in the interim.
So, my last day of practice this year is December 8, 2021. If I cannot find the appropriate chiropractor, I hope to be able to re open at the latest by the beginning of March, 2022. We’ll still be checking messages periodically and I hope to update you periodically via email. I’ll also post re opening on Facebook under the Ershow Chiropractic Center Facebook (Meta?) page and will change the voicemail message as I get more certain of our return date.
If for any reason you do not want to receive these emails, please let me know and I’ll remove you from our master list.
I wish you all the best in the holiday season and in the upcoming New Year!
Sincerely,
Dr. Len Ershow

There’s no magic bullet to knee health, but staying active and building muscles around the joint are crucial.
