But these minor pains can compound and build into something more serious over time, such as shin splints or an over-training injury.

  7. 7 OUR KEY PHILOSOPHY “ Take the time to listen. What I try and do with every patient I see, in the first few minutes, is just let them say what’s on their mind and there’s a lot of study that show we don’t do that enough in medicine. These are small things that you can’t pick up really from just filling out a form. That’s why it’s really important to spend time, talking and listening and building that relationship. ~ Dr. Arun Villivalam, M.D. ”
