5 Rules For 100 Years of Quality Life

Dr. Joshua Gelber2019-08-13T12:47:42-04:00

My title today sounds ambitious, it’s true. But I’ve never been more convinced that anyone can enjoy vibrant health and a high standard of life throughout a full 100-year lifespan. We’re taught to think that we’re born, we live, then we get a disease and we die. It doesn’t have to be that way! I’m not saying you can live forever. But you can live up to your potential throughout ALL your years. And it doesn’t have to be that hard. Here are 5 simple rules for 100-years of healthy life: Eat well. Kick the SAD (Standard American Diet) out of [...]

Heat Or Ice? (The Answer Might Surprise You)

Dr. Joshua Gelber2019-08-06T12:34:39-04:00

Today's quick tip might come as a shock to you. I say that because most patients I talk to are confused about this. When you have an acute injury or pain, what should you reach for first, heat or ice? Most patients think it’s heat. And while heat can help in easing tense muscles, the answer is [drum roll please]… ICE. Job #1 in any flare up or sudden pain is controlling inflammation and encouraging proper blood flow. This is what ice does. It constricts the blood vessels so the swelling can go down and, when removed, allows them to expand [...]

Facts You Need to Know About Your Children’s Health

Dr. Joshua Gelber2019-07-31T11:29:16-04:00

Did you know that poor nutrition negatively impacts bone growth and overall physical development in children? Start young. That’s the secret to giving your children every possible advantage when it comes to their health. In honor of the imminent "back-to-school" wave just around the corner, here are three quick facts you should know: No soft drinks. Phosphorus in soft drinks (mostly the darker coloured ones; check the ingredients for phosphoric acid) can leech calcium out of kids’ bones and inhibit your child’s physical development. I reference this when I talk to adults about getting older and posture influences over time (leeching [...]

August is Kids Month annually!

Dr. Joshua Gelber2019-07-29T12:23:25-04:00

The latest “Team Gelber production” is set to join our family next month. One of the ways we’re celebrating this blessed event is with Kids’ Month here at Annex Family Chiropractic. Spinal screenings used to happen in schools - checking for posture, scoliosis and more, but they stopped years ago, without warning, and without clarity as to why. Anyway, here’s the deal: For the month of August only, kids under 17 get a free exam. Now you may be thinking, “What on earth could my young child have wrong with their spine that he or she would [...]

Discover This Supermodel’s Secret to Bouncing Back from Pregnancy

Dr. Joshua Gelber2019-06-18T14:12:46-04:00

Forgive me if I haven’t yet shared something personal with you. I’ve been talking about it for a little while now…and it's good news... The wife and I are expecting baby number two! :-) #Blessed With that in mind, here’s a quick “pregnancy care” note: Pregnancy, as beautiful as it is, can be a lot of stress on the body. My wife’s friend commented it can be harder than what marathoners who do 2-3 races in a weekend go through. My wife’s doing fine, thanks. But it’s a great reminder (1) to support your spouse, and… (2) Even just 10-20 pounds [...]

Don’t Let Nice Weather Ruin Summer

Dr. Joshua Gelber2019-06-11T14:03:11-04:00

Did you know that injuries due to exercise send more than fifty thousand Canadians per year to the emergency room? For the most part, we’re aware of the risks of starting an exercise program. But less so in connection with seasonal activities (even though we hear about people suffering heart attacks from shovelling snow after long periods of inactivity). This was driven home to me last weekend when I lay down some new sod in my garden…surprisingly exhausting…truly like a blunt first intense workout. Stretching was critical, posture too, yet I was still tired and sore for a [...]

My new secret weapon against pain

Dr. Joshua Gelber2019-05-14T15:04:40-04:00

“Healing is a matter of time, but it’s sometimes also a matter of opportunity.” – Hippocrates I was reading about a plan by Space X to deploy thousands of small satellites and blanket the planet with internet access – especially for those 3.5 billion or so people who lack a regular, high-quality connection. It’s ambitious (some would say far-fetched), but if it works…The possibilities are wondrous. I’ve often taught about the nervous system by comparing it to a communications network. If there are subluxations, signals get blocked. Your body’s command center can’t do its job. Sometimes, under these conditions, pain [...]
