2018-12-04T15:05:58-05:00

Are you experiencing elbow pain but you can’t seem to find the source of the problem? Often referred to as the “funny bone,” your elbow is a very sensitive place with many nerves running through the area. When you bump the ulnar nerve, you end up with that “funny” feeling that goes away shortly after.  When you have pain in the area, it’s sometimes referred to as “tennis elbow” or “golfer’s elbow”; but, what are these different elbow injuries and why does the area get injured easily? Read on to better understand your elbow pain and what’s causing it. Different forms of [...]

Have you ever felt like you couldn’t get through a day without experiencing some lower back pain? This is a common problem in America with millions of people suffering from the same pains. With so many of these people visiting their physician to correct the problem, it’s often discovered that leading a sedentary life is the root cause.

Which Nutrients are Best for Women?

2018-11-04T14:31:06-05:00

While all people need to focus on getting the right nutrients in their body, men and women can have some variances in what they need for their specific gender. For example, women need more calcium because they are at a greater risk of ending up with osteoporosis. Men need more protein and calories than women do because men have a larger body and more muscle mass. Men and women both need folic acid, but women need more of it during childbearing years and require an extra supplement for it. When it comes to men and women, they need most of the [...]

Is Tech Neck Avoidable in Today’s World?

2018-11-03T14:33:51-04:00

Did you know, the average American spends more than 9 hours a day staring at some type of screen? It could be a smartphone, TV or computer, but most Americans are spending more than a normal full-time shift at work staring at a screen. Even young children don't avoid this as they spend at least two hours staring at screens and that number only increased as they get older. How Screen Staring Impacts Your Spine As you're staring down at your phone, tablet or computer, you are putting more weight on the cervical spine. The average human head weighs 12 pounds. [...]

Medication usage: Think twice

2018-10-24T14:56:29-04:00

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!

2018-09-21T16:01:23-04:00

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.

2018-08-16T18:37:02-04:00

"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 [...]

Live Forever! on Liquid Lunch

2011-04-29T13:30:40-04:00

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!
