DISCLAIMER: I cannot claim an expert in research, and all post content are my own interpretations based on my own knowledge and experience. I may have professional/expert opinions that sometimes include researchers in the field for general input that I occasionaly may consult. This blog is not meant for medical or treatment advice, and professionals should always defer to the original research article (link provided on bottom of every review) and additional evidence as necessary, as well as using clinical judgment with individual patient cases for evidence-based practice. As always, I encourage feedback and questions from anyone (this only helps me and others learn!), as long as these are in a respectful and professional manner. Since this site’s goal is towards professional learning and growth, negative/disprespectful comments will not be tolerated and deleted without notice.
