Dear Patients and Friends,
Happy Autumn! The fall season often brings about feelings similar to those before the New Year... excitement at the start of school, anticipation for the holidays, and, after taking in a breath of that crisp Autumn air, a sense of strength and inspiration to set new goals and accomplish them successfully.
At the Northport Wellness Center, our goal is to inspire and empower you to achieve optimal health. Our mission: to direct people to the realization that life and healing come from within; and ultimately that the promotion and maintenance of health is superior to the treatment of disease.
We encourage you to visit our facility, as well as our website to learn more about the many ways the professionals and services we offer can enhance your health. We believe that through education, professional support and guidance, and personal commitment, you can achieve your wellness goals.
Yours in Good Health,
Dr. Alan Sherr
Founder, Director
Northport Wellness Center

ASK THE EXPERTS
Article: Is Severs Disease Causing Your Child Athlete's Heel Pain?
By Northport Wellness Center Podiatrist, Dr. Steven Stummer
Severs Disease, also known as Calcaneal Apophysitis, is a painful foot condition that usually affects active children between 8 and 15 years of age, whose heel bones are actively growing. A child with a pronated foot (flat foot) or a child with increased weight will have a greater predisposition to this condition.

Article: Preventing Premature Signs of Aging
By NYS Lic. Aesthetician, Margaret Kabacinski
Most of us are not aware of the damage caused by over exposure to the sun. Without protection from the sun's rays, just a few minutes of exposure each day over the years can cause noticeable changes to the skin. Freckles, age spots, spider veins on the face, rough and leathery skin, fine wrinkles that disappear when stretched, loose skin, a blotchy complexion, actinic keratoses (thick wart-like, rough, reddish patches of skin), and skin cancer can all be traced to sun exposure.
