There ’ s no arguing that Dwayne “ The Rock ” Johnson is one of the most recognizable stars in Hollywood . Not only is he good looking and beefy , he projects a good-humored nature and approachability factor that have helped to make him one of the highest paid actors around .

On the eve of the release of his new movie , Skyscraper , we caught up with this multi-talented entertainer to find out what makes Johnson so relatable . Hint , it ’ s not because he ’ s had an easy , carefree life or unobstructed path to celebrity . Unbeknownst to many of his fans , Johnson has battled with depression and his mother ’ s suicide attempt several years ago . His private struggles have helped shape him and made him realize that he can be a beacon of hope to the millions of people dealing with similar problems . Read about this inspirational celebrity inside .

Another person lending a hand to those in pain is Dr . Charles Toulson . He ’ s helping people suffering from a full range of musculoskeletal disorders , diseases , and injuries . Dr . Toulson and his team at Alpha Orthopedics & Sports Medicine share a passion for excellence in orthopedic care and work together to provide just that . Areas of specialty include adult hip and knee reconstruction , adult hip and knee revisions , roboticassisted joint resurfacing , knee arthroscopy , foot , ankle and trauma . Read about his revolutionary approach to medicine in this issue .

On the subject of pain : while we all eventually discover that life holds little aches and pains here and there , for some of us , those little pains become big ones that linger . That ’ s when it ’ s time to consult a pain management specialist . According to Robert Haynsworth , MD , a pain management specialist on the medical staff at Baylor Scott & White Medical Center –– Plano , “ A pain management specialist works to prevent , diagnose , and treat chronic pain conditions almost anywhere in the body .” Don ’ t miss what else he has to say and how a pain management specialist can help eliminate or lessen your chronic pain inside this publication .

As summer gets firmly underway , we hope you enjoy all the things medical and beyond in this issue of your local LIVING WELL Magazine . As always , please reach out to the community professionals that share their expertise on these pages . Remember , they ’ re just a call away .

Sincerely ,

Sam and Spring Houston
