“I believe I injured my back when building a patio last year in June. It bothered me for several months, and then I began to have back spasms for which I was not able to get relief. I saw Dr. Guin in Dothan and asked him to let me try therapy before any other treatment. The exercises have provided me with relief at home when the spasms occur. I was given traction and dry needling, which provided the most relief. I appreciate the staff and what they have accomplished in my case.” - Irene B.

Instructions In a medium bowl combine water and oats. Microwave 1 minute. Stir in ¼ cup of the milk. Microwave 30 to 50 seconds more or until oats are very tender. Cool 5 minutes. In a blender combine oat mixture, the remaining ¼ cup milk, and the next four ingredients (through honey). Cover and blend until smooth, scraping container as needed. Add ice cubes; cover and blend until smooth. If desired, top each serving with additional fruit.
