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 [...]

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 [...]

Chicken Soup for The Chiro’s Soul

Dr. Joshua Gelber2019-04-30T14:19:49-04:00

Last week was a heavy one; this week I feel clearer and more positive, especially when I remembered this: I once heard Jack Canfield, co-author of the best-selling Chicken Soup for the Soul series, tell a story. He said he was on a talk show and a woman in the audience complained she hadn’t been happy since her husband died, seven years prior. She pleaded for his advice. “Well, what sorts of things do you love to do?” he replied. The woman said she loved to paint, play the piano, and spend time working in her garden. Canfield then asked, [...]

3 Spring Workout Mistakes

Dr. Joshua Gelber2019-04-24T13:41:08-04:00

Spring has sprung! There are two things you can be sure of: (1) there’s even more construction going on than usual. And (2) people are coming out of hibernation in droves and realizing there’s only 8 weeks left to swimsuit season. Before you put the pedal to the metal, however…a caution. Here are three mistakes that could be the proverbial fly in your sweet fitness lemonade: Too much, too soon. I’m not naming any names but this is even truer for a certain segment of the population. Let’s just call them “men". Seriously though, re-booting is tough. It takes a step-by-step progressive program if you’re [...]
