Medication usage: Think twice

Dr. Joshua Gelber2018-10-24T14:56:29-04:00

Does our body need medication? Right off the bat this is an interesting and touchy subject - or is it? Every day new people come into my clinic, ask for my help, and are of 1 of 3 different mindsets: those who have always disliked taking medications and strive to do all things natural; those who don't mind medications but are tired of taking pills for their ills without long-term results; and those who have consistently taken medications, may have prescriptions constantly on the go, and are trying to mix in alternative methods. Who gets the best results? Makes you wonder, [...]

Irritable Bowel Syndrome – Solve it Naturally!

Dr. Joshua Gelber2018-09-21T16:01:23-04:00

Irritable. Bowel. Syndrome. It's a straight forward diagnostic name for a not-so-straightforward condition. A publication from the Canadian Digestive Health Foundation describes it beautifully, as a "disorder affecting the intestine. IBS involves problems with motility (movement of digested food through the intestines) and sensitivity (how the brain interprets signals from the intestinal nerves), leading to abdominal pain, changes in bowel patterns and other symptoms. Although often disruptive, debilitating and embarrassing, it may be some comfort to know that IBS is not life-threatening, nor does it lead to cancer or other more serious illnesses." They go on to suggest roughly 5 million Canadians suffer from it with growing numbers annually. Why [...]

Got Headaches? 5 Natural tips and tricks to help you avoid overmedicating.

Dr. Joshua Gelber2018-08-16T18:37:02-04:00

"Not tonight honey, I've got a headache." This line permeates my easily humoured mind whenever the word headache comes up, but in fact is a great reminder that for many of you out there, life comes to a complete HALT when a headache shows up: "I feel like my head is being squeezed (in a vice)", or, "I need a dark room. NOW" are never something to laugh or scoff at. I have conversations and comments shared about headaches every week in practice, and even outside of that through social connections - I hear a LOT about headaches. And while they [...]

The consequences of Poor Posture

Dr. Joshua Gelber2018-08-07T02:17:22-04:00

Poor Posture is everywhere... A few weeks before publishing this blog, I was interviewed on liquid lunch (link), having a follow-up conversation about poor posture – I had run out of time to dive into the more significant consequences, so some elements of this article are excerpts from here. I had previously been interviewed in May 2018 after returning from Italy, and in a state of relaxing and incessant people watching, I was overwhelmed by the magnitude of poor postures in so many different categories of people – from millennials to seniors! I've written about posture numerous times (in 2014 and a [...]

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome – Top tips to help avoid surgery and medication – looking for the Root Cause

Dr. Joshua Gelber2018-05-10T21:05:00-04:00

Carpal tunnel Syndrome is a condition that can affect everything in life. Even on the most beautiful of days, where you’d love to throw your hands up to worship the warm sun, you don’t want to because of a bad sleep the night before combined with wrist pain and numbness or tingling in the hands and fingers. Imagine you want to start a new small business that involves intense work with your hands, like an eatery, but all you can think about is the pain caused by crafting food all day. Maybe you've reached the point where medications don't work, and [...]
