How an Outfield-Wall Collision Changed One Baseball Player’s Life

Dr. Joshua Gelber2013-07-26T11:29:10-04:00

In 2000, Chicago White Sox minor-leaguer Greg Shepard violently crashed into the left center field wall while trying to run down a fly ball. When he woke up the next morning, he was basically paralyzed. "I couldn't lift my body out of bed, turn my head, or move my right arm," he says. He then asked his wife to find him a Chiropractor. And that, in a way he didn't fully realize at the time, was the life-changer. Shepard so feared "losing my job" from a prolonged absence on the disabled list that he decided to stick with that same chiropractor even after [...]

Running Club off to a great start

Dr. Joshua Gelber2012-01-11T17:15:48-05:00

I've decided to keep a running log of my running, well, log! Last Thursday, Jan 5th 2011, marked my first coaching session as a clinic instructor with Running Room Canada. I've got a class of 20 inspired runners of various skill levels, with a goal of completing a 10-kilometre "Race", or improving on their times from previous 10km races. It feels great to coach in a new environment outside of my clinic, and I get inspired by other people's running improvements and accomplishments! We run 6km 3 in a row this week, and next week the distance begins to build slightly. [...]

Live Forever! on Liquid Lunch

Dr. Joshua Gelber2011-04-29T13:30:40-04:00

Hi everyone! After an outing to Montreal, and meeting an elderly couple, who were once vivacious and active in all respects, I had a moment. I watched these two lovely people slowly move around, with difficulty, and take their daily pills. It struck my emotional heart strings big time, and hence my conversation topic today. "Getting old" is preventable, at least outside of a calendar - aging can happen more gracefully than most people imagine. Enjoy!

Gardening is good again – a testimonial

Dr. Joshua Gelber2010-06-15T08:37:02-04:00

An old patient came back to the clinic after years of "taking a break". she presented with numbness and tingling in her left hand and arm, as well as knee pain (presumably due to Osteoarthritis). Just sixty, she has felt limited ability in the past few years. Here, she shares with you, what she shared with me one morning, about how gardening became fun for the first year in many! "For five years I've had intermittent lower back pain, and sciatica-like symptoms that flared up when I bent over to pick things off the floor. With arthritis in both knees I [...]

Common Vs. Normal

Dr. Joshua Gelber2010-03-04T11:47:50-05:00

Speeding tickets - common? Of course. Car accidents? Certainly. Winning the lottery? Maybe not so lucky there. How about headaches, back pain, neck pain or indigestion? Absolutely, they are all common, and they occur frequently - in fact the current Canadian statistic says that over 80% of us will experience back pain at some point in our lives. This makes it a very common occurrence. Here's the real question - are they normal? Ask yourself internally, think about it. Should you experience back pain, neck pain, or have headaches? Or do you accept them because at least 2-5 people you know [...]

Choose Walgreens for Wellness??

Dr. Joshua Gelber2010-02-17T15:15:16-05:00

Ok, you got me, it's an American advertisement! I was glued to my television for a couple of days during the start of the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, and saw this commercial a few times. Walgreens - our Shoppers Drug Mart/Pharma Plus/Rexall comparable store in the United States, is asking people to consider them for their Wellness needs. I may be reaching out on a limb, but I believe Walgreens to be a pharmacy first, and a "store" second. I shudder to think that they are asking people to consider pharmaceutical prescriptions as "health and wellness" creators, or even for its maintenance. [...]

Who gets adjusted? DANCERS!

Ok, so Jerry Rice isn't a "dancer", but he did spend years dancing around the football field with incredible performance, illustrated by a Hall of Fame career. Here he cites chiropractic care as one of the reasons.
