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 [...]

A drugless life – the ongoing road to naturally better health Part 4

Dr. Joshua Gelber2016-10-25T22:20:20-04:00

Back to Part 3 Striking a balance As a woman, there are certain symptoms that the medical community will tell you are “normal.” We are brought up to believe that monthly menstrual pain and the other less than comfortable and emotional “joys” that go along with it, are simply a fact of life if you are a woman. There’s even a biblical fable taught to children in religious school to justify it. When I first got my period as a teenager, I was not prepared for the severe cramping, back and leg pain and nausea that would greet me every month. [...]

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. [...]
