New Publication by Dr. Chimes: Endocrine Abnormalities Affecting the Musculoskeletal System

Dr. Chimes has a recent publication on Endocrine Abnormalities affect the Musculoskeletal System

http://now.aapmr.org/msk/sports-medicine/Pages/Endocrine-abnormalities-affecting-the-musculoskeletal-system.aspx

One of Dr. Chimes's niches is looking into how both age and gender affect different musculoskeletal conditions.  For example, low back pain in a 14 year old female gymnast is significantly different than low back pain in a 64 year old male Microsoft executive, and our success in treating patients is dramatically improved if we tailor our treatment plans to the specific goals, needs, and variation within each individual.
