When back pain strikes, quick relief is essential. While pain medication can help, it doesn't address the root cause and may lead to dependence if used long-term. This is where physical therapy comes in! Proven effective for many types of chronic pain, physical therapy can help alleviate back pain by strengthening back muscles and reducing pain over time through guided therapeutic exercises. To learn more about physical therapy at Miller County Hospital, call 229-758-2881.

Type 1 diabetes, once known as juvenile diabetes, is a chronic condition occurring when the pancreas produces little or no insulin. Typically diagnosed during childhood or adolescence, it can also develop in adults. Treatment for people living with Type 1 diabetes focuses on managing blood sugar levels with insulin, diet, and lifestyle to prevent complications. If you have Type 1 diabetes, be sure to work closely with your healthcare provider for diet and exercise recommendations, to monitor your blood sugar, and to stay on top of any complications before they become serious.
