Donna has been coming to Bay State North Dartmouth for about 3 weeks initially for vertigo like symptoms with neck stiffness and discomfort. With a combination of postural activities, stretching and soft tissue mobilization, Donna has seen significant results. Her neck has been feeling much better and is cracking less which is helping her tolerance at work and daily activity. She also found addressing her neck issues has helped with her vertigo and balance issues. Donna is grateful to the staff at Bay State for getting her back on track!

Add mushrooms, shallots, rosemary and salt and cook, stirring, until the mushrooms are soft and have released their liquid, about 6 minutes. Stir in spinach a handful at a time and cook until wilted, about 4 minutes. Slowly whisk seltzer into the batter. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat. Ladle ⅓ cup batter into the center of the pan; immediately tilt and rotate the pan to spread evenly over the bottom. Cook about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Lift the edge, then quickly grasp the crepe with your fingers and flip. Cook about 20 seconds. Slide onto a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, spraying the pan as needed and stacking crepes as you go. Spread a generous ⅓ cup of the mushroom filling in the center, leaving a 1- to 2-inch border. Top with 1 tablespoon goat cheese. Fold in the sides to make a square shape, leaving a “window” in the center. Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling. Garnish with rosemary, if desired.
