This was such a fun season. Miss this.

Where does Santa live in the North Pole? was the question my daughter posed to me as if she was trying to trip me up in some elaborate hoax that I had concocted. She’s at the stage where she’s asking tough questions. My answer was that I don’t really know but she immediately opened up Google maps and tried a search. Turns out the North Pole isn’t something that’s super high on the search rankings. Half an hour later after zooming in and out we had discovered that New York s...eemed very close to Mexico and I realized we needed something more tangible. Most people don’t know this about me but I have an undergrad in both Biology and Geography and that I used to love staring at maps. Turns out she does too! Since I don’t think she’ll have the attention span to head over to the university library and sift through the thousands of maps in the geographic section, I went to World of Maps in the hood and picked up an atlas that was designed for kids. It’s wonderful and she doesn’t know it but Santa might have read the whole thing before he sets out on his deliveries next month. A big thank you to a very special business in the hood. I’m hoping that if I send this to the big guy he’ll know how to find us. #worldofmaps #hintonburg #wellingtonwest #cartography #Foundationschiro See more

Classic! Happy Friday everybody!

Nobody ever thinks it will happen to them but every year there are a several falls that come into the clinic. I’ve seen concussions, whiplash, back pain, broken wrists, arms, legs, ankles, ribs and teeth as a result of a simple fall both inside and outside the home. Taking a few simple steps to protect yourself can save you a lot of misery and keep you out of the emergency room.

Approximately 1/4 of those with chronic, non-cancerous pain were treated with opiods in this review of over 3million participants between 1990-2017. Thankfully Health Canada is addressing this issue with help from the Canadian Chiropractic Association and other professional healthcare associations here in Canada but it doesn’t hurt to be aware that this might have contributed to a variety of health issues. https://academic.oup.com///doi/10.1093/pm/pnaa322/5961460

Another great business in the hood: Thyme&Again. This local eatery is just around the corner from our office and they offer such an amazing variety of healthy and very tasty snacks, catering and take-home meals. The owners are such lovely people to boot! #thymeandagaincatering #hintonburg #wellingtonwest #foundationschiro

Another phenomenal business in the hood i’d like to highlight. As many of my patients know, I biked to work most days this summer and these guys kept it/me moving and motivated. Their staff are all super friendly and really go out of their way to make sure you’re ride is nice and buttery smooth. I just had my chain and rear cassette replaced and it’s never ridden so well! Thanks guys! #fullcycle #wellingtonwest #hintonburg #foundationschiro

Every spring and fall I see a few patients who hurt their low backs when they lift their car tires. This video is a little muffled due to the wind but hopefully it gets the main points across. No I don’t work for Callahan auto parts but bonus points if you get the reference #liftwithyourlegs #backpainpreventiontips #foundationschiro
