Website | Description |
DrRamakko.com | My personal website. I have some health related resources here. You can also book virtual sessions with me so I can answer your questions and I offer health coaching. |
triggerpoints.net | You can look up where nasty muscle knots might be hiding. The website contains common muscle knot locations and their referred pain pattern. You can search by muscle or by where the pain is. |
Drugs.com | A useful resource for any drugs you may be taking. Has dosage and common side effects. Has information on signs for when to call your doctor or go to emergency. Good to read through for every drug you take. |
Healthnotes | A useful resource for supplement and botanical information. There is a star rating system based on how strong the evidence is. Has information on the mechanism, evidence, dosage, interactions, and side effects.https://www.nutriadvanced.co.uk/healthnotes/ |
Mayo clinic, Cleveland clinic, etc… | -Some hospitals or clinics create resources and handouts for patients. The mayo clinic and cleveland clinic both have reasonably good basic level information on their respective websites. If I google a diagnosis and one of their sites comes up I often email that link to a patient. |
NHS | The NHS is the UK health system and the individual hospitals create handouts for patients. I google: “(name of health condition) NHS handout” and I normally have a selection of handouts appropriate to provide to patients with home care advice and/or exercises. |
Bob & Brad | There is lots of great stuff on youtube and I chose this channel as an example. This channel is a couple of physiotherapists sharing exercises and stretches that have helped their patients. Notice their use of language, “I find this helps some of my patients”, “sometimes I have my patient do this..”, etc… Not every exercise is perfect for everyone or for every condition. |
Physiopedia | This is a resource for physiotherapists but anyone can google “condition+physiopedia” to find their article on how to diagnose and treat the condition. I find myself using it semi-regularly. |
UWS CSPE Protocols and Care Pathways | University of Western States clinical standards, protocols, and education resources. These are detailed documents based on the best evidence. They describe how to diagnose and treat various conditions. Similar to Physiopedia in that it is written for health professionals.https://www.uws.edu/cspe-protocols-care-pathways/ |
Harvard’s Nutrition Source | Research based nutritional resource written for the general public. |
National Institutes of Health Office of Dietary Supplements | Research based nutritional resource for both the general public and for health professionals. |
