Why Would A Healthy Athlete Use A Chiropractor?

Dr. Joshua Gelber2020-11-10T18:11:51-05:00

Here’s something to think about. With gym closures, so many people are becoming “road warriors” and turning to biking or running for fitness. Injuries from these types of activities are on the rise. That said, even healthy, top-tier athletes like Tiger Woods and Tom Brady have turned to chiropractic care to give them an edge. Indeed, A study by Anthony Lauro D.C. and Brian Mouch, D.C. showed how athletic ability can be enhanced by chiropractic care. The study looked at healthy athletes who didn’t have any musculoskeletal injuries. The goal for these athletes wasn’t to diagnose disease, but to pinpoint subluxations that could [...]

Why Runners Should Get Stronger

Dr. Joshua Gelber2020-06-23T17:30:26-04:00

I haven’t done a running theme for a while. Even if you’re not a runner, read on, you may still gain some health knowledge. Chances are you know I love to run. And while I haven’t been consistently running, it’s a work in progress, as Hayden can’t get enough of it these days, and he’s a great motivator! And since it seems the lockdown has pushed many more into our ranks, I thought it was time to show a little love to the runners. So for your viewing pleasure today, here is why I strongly feel runners should get stronger (let’s [...]

Stretches That Cause Injuries

Dr. Joshua Gelber2019-12-23T09:21:35-05:00

Here’s a conversation that comes up often when I’m working with patients. When should you stretch, and when should you strengthen? Let’s back up a second. Why should you want better mobility at all? If you have faulty biomechanics (which could also be described as poor movement) you’re fighting against yourself any time you try do any activity. This can mean you’re tense in some muscles, weak in others. Either way, you wind up spending more energy than you should. Fluidity (or ease of movement) makes everything you do easier. And helps prevent injuries. That’s why working on your mobility and [...]

3 Biggest Running Mistakes

Dr. Joshua Gelber2019-10-16T12:59:59-04:00

Today’s content is a must-read. (If not, well, there’s still value in the principles) For me, running is a passion (I sadly can’t remember if I’ve spoken about this passion of mine). I’m an accomplished half-marathoner at my peak and the main intent of my recent fitness “reboot” has been to go for more runs. I love the ease of just stepping out the door, it’s literally a no-brainer so long as I’m dressed properly. One caveat: running can be a negative stress on your body as well as all of the positive benefits it procures. Here, for your viewing pleasure, [...]

7 Famous People Who Love Chiropractors

Dr. Joshua Gelber2019-10-08T02:30:06-04:00

Change of pace today. My tribute email a few weeks ago about Dr. Franco Columbu mentioned his best pal Arnie’s regular cheerleading of chiropractic. That got me thinking… What other famous people both love and swear by chiropractic? So I did a little digging. And I was pleasantly surprised to discover some pretty illustrious folks singing the praises of my profession. Thought you might find this interesting. Take a look: TIGER WOODS “Being a chiropractic patient has really helped me a lot. When I was in a growth spurt, my back became very sore, and [...]

#1 Biggest Myth Re: Workouts & Low Back Pain

Dr. Joshua Gelber2019-10-01T02:21:11-04:00

Did you know that working your core might be making your low back pain worse? Continuing with the fitness theme, I’m covering a very common misconception today. So many people have heard that to prevent low back pain you need to strengthen your core. And while it is true that a strong core helps support your back, if you have either acute or chronic low back pain… …There’s almost certainly more to the story. What matters is what’s causing the pain in the first place! I’ll circle back to that in a moment. One way the “do more core” advice is [...]

My “Glory Days” Plan To Get Back My Fitness

Dr. Joshua Gelber2019-09-24T02:10:27-04:00

Keeping on with the fitness theme this month… I want to share something personal. I’ve been “off track” with my fitness for years now. And I’m finally getting around to having a plan in place to get back into things. What I’m remembering – and why this may be useful to you – is that it’s no small task. There’s work, planning, and dedication that goes into it. Here’s the short list of what I’ve put in motion: *Got an accountability coach *I’m writing out my workout plan (with the help of a trainer) *Putting in my calendar the days and [...]

Do We Control 70% Of How We Age?

Dr. Joshua Gelber2019-09-11T13:52:52-04:00

Shifting gears a bit today. I’m “back in the saddle”…adapting to life with a newborn (again!)…and with it being September, i.e. back to the routine for many people, I feel inspired to talk about fitness. In fact, I recently decided it was time for your humble author to re-commit to my own fitness program. (More on that to come.) I want to start by planting a seed. A few years back, The Globe and Mail published an interesting article (“We Control 70% of How We age,” Alex Hutchinson). The article talks about a study that examined fat and muscle content in [...]

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 [...]
