Baby/Mom small group "floor play" class to train for healthy walking for you both!
1 hour @ $90 Maximum Class Size is 4
Mom and Infant (4-10 months) can develop proper motor control and core stability together. We will work on positions necessary for healthy progression for baby and retraining for Mom.

The neuro-muscular development required for walking is amazing. Today's commercial toy industry does not take into account the specific stages of postural stability and motor control acquired during the healthy normal growth process. Some popular "toys" are actually harmful to the developing body of an infant. Also, our hurry up world can promote early walking at the toddler's detriment.

The medical profession has underestimated the physiologic changes that occur with pregnancy. Neuro-motor retraining should be done to regain normal breathing (without reflux) and pelvic alignment for example. It is essential for the young and more mature mom who wants to be active with their children and into midlife and beyond without back, hip, or knee issues.

Much of the same "training" can happen together during floor play! Joy L. Meyer, MD can show you how to best take care of your infant AND get in shape yourself. Learn and have fun with old or new friends. Small classes offered, individual appointments also welcome. Those with pain before pregnancy should address those during a regular appointment.

Dear Patients,
Starting Sept. 17 2016 I will no longer be participating with insurance companies to provide care for their members. The best way to explain why is that for me it was like driving down a beautiful back road and then having a police car pull behind me and tail me for the next several hours. The regulations and administrative burden kind of ruined the ride.
I will also be taking some considerable time away from the office during the fall. I will probably continue to see patients but I will be considered out of network, or self-pay and reimbursable by flex spending if you have that. By 2017 I expect to be using my current Colonie location on a more limited basis and hope to have nice office space in Delmar as well. I will be taking advantage of a simple online scheduling and payment service. My office phone will still be 518-360-6627. I want to be able to cover my expenses and charge fair fees for my services. I hope what I offer you is worth your time and hard earned resources. If not, I suggest you discuss your future care options with your primary care physician; I do not know another health care provider in the area who does what I do.
Regarding medications: please understand that if you are on any drugs that I have prescribed and you would like to continue on them, you must find another prescriber before September 17 2016 in order to continue your prescriptions. I will no longer be a prescriber. I will be available to your other providers to discuss medication management.
It has truly been a privilege for me to know you and hopefully help you regain function and move towards wholeness. I am sorry for the inconvenience and burden this may pose for you. It would be such a pleasure for me to continue to see you and I look forward to that. We will make this transition as seamless as possible. My status will be updated on Joy L. Meyer MD page. If you have questions or want to have the ability to schedule an appointment in the future, call the office before September; the new website (google will find it!) will be fully operational before September 1.
In Faith, Hope, and the greatest of all Love,

Joy L. Meyer, MD

“As a PM & R specialist I focus on restoring function to those with neurologic or musculoskeletal problems including people with arthritis, sports injuries, or fibromyalgia. I emphasize neuromuscular retraining, elimination of pain, and proper mechanics.
I also utilize Prolotherapy, a safe-all natural injection treatment to ligaments, painful muscle and tendon insertion sites. The solution causes the strengthening and healing of damaged tissue in order to restore joint stabilization, appropriate muscular effort and activity, and non-painful motion, resulting in maximal function for sports and the activities of daily living.”
- Joy L. Meyer, M.D.

What is Prolotherapy?
Prolotherapy heals the injured tissues in and around the joints (i.e. in the knee or the spine). It strengthens ligaments and tendons and takes away pain! It involves the injection of a safe, all natural solution causing a natural local reaction, which increases blood supply and flow of nutrients while stimulating tissue repair. It is far less traumatic to the body than arthroscopic, microscopic or open surgery and there is NO down time or months of recovery!
