🦋 SMALL GLAND. BIG ROLE IN YOUR HEALTH.

Your thyroid may be a small gland in your neck, but the hormones it produces influence many important body functions—including metabolism, heart rate, body temperature, energy levels, muscle function, digestion, and weight.

When thyroid hormones become too high or too low, symptoms can sometimes be subtle or mistaken for stress, fatigue, or other conditions.

Watch for possible changes such as unexplained weight gain or loss, unusual fatigue or weakness, palpitations, heat or cold intolerance, tremors, changes in bowel habits, or changes in mood and sleep.

Experiencing these symptoms does not automatically mean you have a thyroid disorder. Proper medical assessment and appropriate laboratory testing are important.

At I.C.A.R.E. Inopiquez-Cabrera Physical Rehabilitation Clinic, consult with:

🩸 DIABETES CAN BE SILENT. KNOW YOUR NUMBERS BEFORE SYMPTOMS SPEAK FOR YOU.

You may feel perfectly well and still have elevated blood sugar. That’s why awareness, appropriate screening, and early medical consultation matter—especially if you have risk factors such as family history, excess weight, high blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol, or a history of elevated blood sugar.

At I.C.A.R.E. Inopiquez-Cabrera Physical Rehabilitation Clinic, we believe that managing diabetes goes beyond lowering a number on a laboratory result. It means understanding you as a whole person—your health, lifestyle, goals, challenges, and what matters most to you.

👨‍⚕️ Consult with Dr. Patrick Paolo Abarquez – Endocrinology for assessment and medical management of diabetes, thyroid disorders, metabolic concerns, and other endocrine conditions.

At ICARE, we promote a patient-centered and collaborative approach. When appropriate, medical management can work alongside individualized physiotherapy, exercise, and lifestyle modification to support better mobility, physical function, and long-term health.

💙 Don’t wait for diabetes to announce itself. Know your risk. Know your numbers. Take action early.

🧠 DID NEURO? Diabetes can affect more than your blood sugar—it can affect your nerves, too.

Over time, high blood sugar can damage nerves throughout the body, leading to diabetic neuropathy. It commonly affects the feet and legs and may gradually interfere with sensation, balance, walking, and everyday activities.

⚠️ Watch for these symptoms:�• Numbness or reduced sensation in the feet�• Tingling or “pins and needles”�• Burning or shooting pain�• Increased sensitivity to touch�• Muscle weakness�• Balance or walking difficulties�• Foot wounds or injuries you may not immediately feel

Because decreased sensation can make injuries easier to miss, early recognition and proper foot care are especially important.
Diabetic neuropathy cannot be determined by symptoms alone. A proper medical assessment can help identify whether your symptoms are related to diabetes or another neurologic or musculoskeletal condition and guide appropriate treatment.

#0077 Neurologist Explains Dementia

In this insightful conversation, Philippe Soriano sits down with special guest Dr. Iggy Pantangco, a Filipino neurologist based in Metro Manila, a member of the Philippine Neurological Association, and a specialist in adult neurology and neuro-rehabilitation. Together, they dive deep into the mysteries of the brain, the realities of stroke recovery, and how we can take proactive steps to prevent memory loss and cognitive decline.

Dr. Pantangco shares his personal journey into medicine, inspired by his grandfather, and what drew him to the complex, ever-evolving world of brain health. He breaks down critical medical insights on dementia, mild cognitive impairment, and the rise of memory issues in younger age groups. Crucially, he highlights how controlling key risk factors like hypertension, diabetes, cholesterol, and smoking can lead to a 50% to 60% reduction in dementia risk.

🧠 DID NEURO? Numbness and tingling shouldn’t always be ignored.

Neuropathy refers to damage or dysfunction of one or more nerves. Depending on which nerves are affected, symptoms can include:

⚡ Numbness or reduced sensation�⚡ Tingling or “pins and needles”�🔥 Burning, shooting, or electric-like pain�💪 Muscle weakness�👣 Balance or walking difficulties�🤲 Increased sensitivity to touch

Neuropathy can have many possible causes—including diabetes, nerve compression or injury, certain nutritional deficiencies, autoimmune conditions, infections, medications, and other medical conditions.
That’s why persistent numbness, tingling, burning pain, or unexplained weakness deserves proper assessment rather than simply treating the symptoms.

👨‍⚕️ When should you consult?
If symptoms are persistent, worsening, spreading, affecting your balance or daily activities, or accompanied by weakness, consider seeking medical evaluation.
