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 [...]

Protecting your child’s back from this year’s backpack

Protecting your child’s back from this year’s backpack

Dr. Joshua Gelber2018-08-22T19:18:40-04:00

It’s that time of year again and back-to-school prep is all of the conversation. That means your child will be gearing up from a summer of fun to carrying a heavy book bag to school with all of their textbooks, notebooks, homeowner, and the extras. This also leads many chiropractors to seeing parents of children with back problems because of overstuffed backpacks and pain from it. While it’s an exciting time of year for new subjects, new teachers, football games, and the kids getting older, it’s also that time of year when backpacks are heavy and kid’s backs are in danger.

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 [...]
