While the variant cases are increasing, there is some division on how to move forward. Regardless of where each of us falls on the spectrum, it is clear that fear is on the rise.
In April of 2017, I found myself at the heaviest weight I had been in my life. That's a tough thing to admit and I was definitely miserable. My clothes were uncomfortable, I was fighting acid reflux on a regular basis, I was winded easily and exhausted most of the time.
That is not where you want to be in the beginning of your 30's and I finally decided, that after years of going up and down in weight and trying diets that I couldn't possibly keep up for a lengthy period of time, it was time to change my lifestyle and feel better.

Regenerative Medicine, as the name suggests, is a branch of medicine that involves repair, replacement, and regeneration of cells, tissues, and organs that are damaged or diseased. It is a broad term that encompasses many things, from tissue engineering to pain relief. This exciting new field of medicine focuses on rebuilding and restoring parts of the body that have been damaged by years of wear and tear or injury.
Hand and wrist pain can happen for many reasons, the most common of which are carpal tunnel syndrome, de Quervain's tendinitis, arthritis, trigger finger (tenosynovitis), and fractures. Conservative treatment measures include rest, splinting, pain medications, anti-inflammatory cortisone shots, and physical therapy.

I am so thankful for Living Well Balanced coming into my life almost two years ago now! I first came for the bloodwork to learn more about my allergies and was eager to learn more about my alignment and how to fix the aches and pains I was just choosing to live with. LWB is my go to for my Chiro work, massage, and stretch. As a dancer, I thought I knew how to stretch, but what a difference this team makes! Dr. P has also helped me get vitamin intake cleaned up based on what my blood work showed and what he knows my fitness goals are. This team is amazing and deserves more than 5 stars!

First, know that this business gives their patients incentives for leaving good reviews. Second, I used to be a patient & I'm glad I'm no longer receiving services from this business. When I was a patient, I was on welfare. Dr. Prakash refused to start accepting Medicaid, so he'd charge me $40 per visit. Since I needed help, I had to limit my visits to once every 4-5 weeks so I could pay my bills. I did this for many years. And I never used any of the other services except for the occasional massage. I simply couldn't afford it. One day, he contacted me to tell me to tell me that my rate has been

I have had 3 massages here; can't speak to any other services. I won't be back.
1 was extraordinary (my first one). The masseuse was extremely professional and talented. I left feeling like I had additional range of movement and the tightness in my shoulder blades was gone. They provided guidance and analysis of issues through out.
Massages 2 and 3 (different masseuse each time) were less than satisfactory for the price.
Massage 2 was unnoteworthy - provided minor back relief.
Massage 3 was severely unsatisfactory - the masseuse only asked one question before beginning and the rest of the massage

I have always said that you can tell how much a person loves what they do because it shows up in every little detail. Dr. Prakash and his team are yet more examples of this simple truth. In the middle of a major Life transition and in-between NY and NC, I found LWB quite by accident and couldn't be happier.
Dr. Prakash and his team first evaluated my insurance, then he ordered a series of x-rays of my spine that showed areas where my body was suffering. THEN he put together an affordable plan that would help me achieve my wellness goals. A combination of PT, massage, and chiropractic is just what

I started going to Living Well this time last year after experiencing some pretty uncomfortable back and neck pain for quite some time. It was to the point of me not being able to sleep. Living Well has completely changed my life over this past year! Back in January I made the mistake of taking a “break” for personal family reasons and NEVER again will I compromise my health. I could tell everything with my neck/back started to go backwards. Since returning, I have never felt better overall or slept better. It now feels good to walk into a massage when they ask “does anything hurt today?”

Before I started coming to Living Well Balanced, I was suffering from dizziness, neck pain, shoulder pain, headaches, numbness of my face and arm. I was taking Ibuprofen every day to help with the pain. And Lorazepam to help me sleep. I tried acupuncture and it helped a little but not enough.
I had made an appointment to see my physician and get an MRI done when my daughter referred me to Living Well Balance.
Dr. Prakash and staff were and are amazing. Dr. Prakash assessed my needs and we started therapy that day. My dizziness was 75% better after my first adjustment. We approached my therapy

Living Well Balanced is one of my favorite places! As a trainer of high intensity group fitness, my body truly takes a beating. I would’ve been injured by now if it weren’t for this place. I get adjustments, stretching, massages, the works. It’s a stellar experience every time. I always leave feeling better and can’t wait to go back! I’m there once a week at a minimum. The staff treats you like family. I love the friends I’ve gained, their genuine concern over my health/fitness/recovery, and the pain relief I get! I’m quick to recommend Living Well Balanced to all of my clients at

I absolutely love Dr. Ankur and the staff at Living Well Balanced!! Dr. Ankur took the time to do an in-depth evaluation of not just my body alone, but also my lifestyle and health as a whole. I’ve seen a chiropractor for years and always found great relief from it, but Dr. Ankur was able to get rid of my low back pain that had been irritating me for ever! My adjustments have easily become the highlight of my week. I know that when I walk in to Living Well Balanced, I’ll feel better, I’ll be loved on, and I’ll relax while I’m there. The amazing view and atmosphere at the office are just
