Dr. Daina Patel

Hi! It's been a while since I last introduced myself and there are lots of new followers here! Thanks for following me and being here. I'm grateful for each and every one of you. I'm Dr. Daina Patel. I help women with chronic neck and back pain. I do this as a chiropractor in Ontario and as a health coach outside of Ontario so it doesn't matter where you live - I can help!... I love helping people reduce their aches and pains (and hopefully get rid of them for good) so they can get back to what's important. I had really bad upper back pain for YEARS and I learned the tools that I needed to manage that pain to the point where I almost never feel it anymore. The things I learned were not the things that I was initially taught that would help me. I spent years trying to figure it out. It came down to making some small changes in my lifestyle that worked for me and didn't ADD more stress into my life - because more stress = more pain! So I made it my mission to help my clients and patients reach their goals of being pain-free and feeling really good and confident in their own body. That's why I created my 3 pillar system that includes movement, nutrition, AND lifestyle. Because a holistic approach is the BEST approach if you want the pain to STAY away. You don't need to do long or hard workouts. You don't need a gym membership or fancy equipment. & you don't even need to leave the house I want to help busy, stressed-out, ambitious women like you who have big goals, just like me, to be able to get rid of your pain so you can have the high-quality life you DESERVE. I'm here & I'm rooting for you. I've got your back! #bossladies#goaldiggerssociety#womenwholead #womenempoweringwomen#empowerher#womenCEOmindset#findingyourfearless#lifeonpurpose#findyourpurpose#createalifeyoulove#highvibetribe#yourvibeattractsyourtribe#manifestingabundance#manifestyourdreams#intentionsetting#ambitionista#setgoalsnotlimits#herincrediblemindset#inspiredaction#sheconquers#femaleentrepreneurlife#sisterhoodovercompetition#thehealthysisterhood See more

Self care can show up in many different ways in your life. It can be in the form of doing something to increase happiness or joy, to decrease stress, to improve health, or learning something new. It can look like doing nothing with nobody or it can look like doing all the things with all the people.... There is no rule when it comes to self care. It doesn't need to be a spa day or an epsom salt bath (but it can be if you want!). Whatever you choose to do, do it for you and nobody else. Fill up your cup because you know you can't be there for anyone else when you are running on empty. Let me know your fave form of self care in the comments below! P.S...if you're looking to reduce pain quickly (that counts as self care!) then check the link in my bio because I'm going live in a few hours with a free training to give you the exact strategies that I use as well as give my clients and patients so they can reduce pain fast.

Want to learn how to quickly get your pain down a few notches on the pain scale so that you can start feeling better? I'm answering this question for you in detail during my free training next week! Many of us (me included) have super busy lives and we can't always do what our body actually needs in that moment.... I get it. You likely can't focus or feel productive while in pain. Maybe you're quick to anger or get frustrated by others easily. You have no energy for anything else anymore. You feel like you're moving so slow You don't feel comfortable in your own body Or perhaps you just can't remember what it's like to have a good, pain-free day. It doesn't have to be this way! None of these things is normal and I'm showing you my top strategies for FREE Whatever your reason, you won't want to miss this training. I'm going over all the strategies in 30 minutes, so if you want to learn something new that you can try to reduce pain, then this is the place to be. Bring your questions and I'll answer them live as well. Be sure to register. The link is in my bio. SEE YOU THERE! P.S...let me know if you're coming in the comments below

Schedule this date into your calendar and make a commitment to yourself to show up live because your health is WORTH it. YOU are worth it. I'm providing a FREE training that goes over EVERY strategy that I love to use to help reduce pain quickly.... Whenever we are in pain, there are 3 stages that we need to go through to properly treat and hopefully get rid of pain. These stages are: 1 /: this is where the goal is to reduce the pain quickly so you feel better. This is (and should always remain) the shortest stage as we need to move as fast as possible into the next stage. 2 /: This is where we start getting to the root of what is actually is causing the pain as well as where we start healing and repairing the body. This is by far the longest and most important stage. 3 : This is where we maintain the pain-free status and continue to level up our health because this journey doesn't have an end. This happens at your pace with tools and strategies that you can maintain for life without it being a burden. I'm going over STAGE 1 inside this free training so you can start feeling good and move as fast as possible into the 2nd stage where the true healing happens. You can sign up via the link in my bio or comment below and I'll send you the link. It's happening on (make sure you convert if you're on a different time zone so you don't miss it!).

Let's talk about INSTANT PAIN RELIEF for a second. That means significantly reducing pain levels very quickly so you can move through your day with ease and confidence. I listed 3 of my favourite things that I love to do to quickly reduce pain levels so that I can focus on my task at hand and spend more time actually healing the cause of the pain.... These 3 things got me through most of my pain flare ups and I still use them occasionally as needed. It's not a long-term strategy by any means if you truly want to get rid of the pain or want to live a better life but it will help in the moment. Want to learn what they are? I've listed the details in my latest blog post on my website. Check out the link in my bio or go to www.drdainapatel.com/blog to read it.

Lavender can be really helpful when it comes to relaxing. Especially when you are feeling really stressed out!... Stress usually leads to carrying tension in the upper back/neck and shoulders. This can lead to pain and constant tightness. Eventually this leads to headaches and neck pain as well as bad posture. Untreated, this leads to chronic pain (lasts more than a few days) and can then lead to more stress! Let's break that continuous circle and reduce the pain as well as the stress. Add lavender essential oil in your diffuser in the evening or a few drops into an Epsom salt bath to help you relax and wind down. It's an amazing addition to any bedtime routine. Lavender oil is probably the most researched essential oil, showing that it can provide so many benefits. Regular chiropractic care as well as your self-care routine can help reduce the tightness, pain, chronic pain, and help manage the stress. . #chiropractor #chiropracticcare #selfcare #stressmanagement #stressedout #lavender #chronicpain #painrelief #painfree #vaughanchiropractor #vaughan #chronicpainchiropractor #nobleton #situpstraight #chronicpaindoctor #neckpain #headaches #plants #natureishealing #posture #stressrelief #bedtimeroutine #nighttimeroutine #metime #timetorelax #lavenderfields

Happy #worldvegetarianday! I am featuring LENTILS in today's post in honour of World Vegetarian Day. Lentils are a really great vegetarian protein source and are high in fibre as well as many other nutrients.... They can add bulk to a vegetarian meal so you aren't left feeling hungry. I love using them in a Shepherd's Pie recipe without the beef. I challenge anyone who isn't vegan or vegetarian to have one meal today without meat. Maybe throw in some lentils How are you celebrating? Let me know in the comments!

All of these things are needed in order to truly take of chronic pain. Do you have a treatment plan or strategy that looks at each of these categories? This is the exact approach I take with my clients and patients. Save it so you can use it as a guide for what needs more attention.... If you're currently using a solution that doesn't cover all of these areas, you might not actually have a solution. Instead of treating the pain symptoms, you need support for your entire body to promote healing and for those results to last longer. Chronic pain is really complicated but the solution doesn't need to be. You need a holistic approach, NOT a pain centered one that superficially gets rid of pain. Send me a message if you want to learn more about my approach and truly want to heal.

Treat your body like a temple. Eat well. Get enough sleep.... Move every single day. It is capable of SO much and can heal from chronic pain. There is a mind-body connection when it comes to pain and loving your body and treating it well are JUST as important as all the other stuff. What is one thing about your body that you are grateful for? Let me know in the comments below. It can be anything and doesn't have to be a physical body part. I'm most grateful for my body's ability to heal. @rupikaur_ couldn't have said it better with her post and beautiful drawing

Let's talk about inflammation and how it's the root of so many conditions, including heart disease and diabetes, some of the most prevalent conditions out there. But did you know that your inflammation levels are also correlated to pain? Higher levels of inflammation systemically (all over the body) as well as localized inflammation at the site of injury are both underlying things that need to be addressed when looking at chronic (but also acute) pain.... The inflammatory cells that are part of the inflammation cascade that happens in response to something (that something can vary depending on what's going on in your life) are what make you more sensitive to pain. The longer you are exposed to that inflammation, usually the worse you feel as something called central sensitization tends to kick in and then we have even more sensitivity to pain. The key is to reduce that inflammatory load as much as possible through movement, diet, and lifestyle. If you only choose one or two areas, you are ignoring a significant portion of your life. Your health is completely in YOUR hands. It's YOUR choice. YOU decide where you want to go. Once you've made the choice to get better, that's when the healing starts. But first you must choose. That's the first step. I'd also argue that it's the hardest step. It's a long, tough road ahead, but I can help you (if you want).

F L A R E U P S can be the worst. This is not an extensive list by any means and every body is different so what works for me probably won't work for you. Some of these things can make you feel worse and some can make you better....it really depends on your diagnosis and what's going on in your body.... That being said, you cant try to figure it out all on your own or work with someone who can skip past the guessing and give you a personalized strategy.

Is anyone else already feeling chilly enough in the evenings for some delicious warm beverages? It's still officially summer until Sept. 22 this year so I refuse to say happy fall yet! Usually, I like to enjoy a delicious cup of herbal tea when it's cool outside. This is just a small part of my evening routine.... But sometimes, I want something a little richer, and what's better than a steaming hot cup of hot chocolate on a chilly night?! Making your own cup of hot chocolate can be SO easy. I also love spicing up my hot chocolate for some anti-inflammatory properties as well as a kick of flavour. This is NOT your average boring hot chocolate!! WHO WANTS THE RECIPE?! Let me know in the comments below and I'll send you my Spiced Hot Chocolate recipe that you can enjoy through the fall and winter this year while reducing your inflammatory load! #antiinflammatoryfoods #antiinflammatorydiet #wholefoodplantbased #plantbaseddiet #plantbasedrecipes #veganrecipes #vegantoronto #torontovegan #vaughanvegan #chronicpaindiet #chronicpainrecipes #eatclean #easyhealthyrecipes #easydesserts #hotchocolaterecipe #cinnamonandspice #spicedhotchocolate #warmandfuzzy #chillynights #hotcocoa #cacaorecipes #vaughanchiropractor #chiropractorsofinstagram #phoneeatsfirst #healthyfoodie #veganfoodie #plantbasedfoodie
