Health Topics Blog Update Many years ago when I was in naturopathic college I recall hearing about a hydrotherapy technique (that is, a technique using water to treat an illness) called the cold wet sock treatment. Although the descriptive name of this technique is not appealing in the least, its effectiveness to treat certain ailments is remarkable. And if there is one thing I love it is simple, low-cost, and gentle therapies. Years later, I heard a colleague refer to ...it as the Magic Sock treatment...a much better name, in my opinion!

Blog Post Alert: Supporting Your Family's Immune System As a parent, I am feeling extra-vigilant about implementing measures to strengthen my family's immune system this upcoming school year. And for good reason! We are currently within the throws of a global pandemic, which is COVID-19 (also known as SARS-CoV-2). Of course, I want to keep my daughter as safe as possible against contracting ANY virus, but I also am realistic and I know that she will most likely be met with ...contracting a standard cold or flu virus at some point. But this time around households will be affected in ways we have not seen before. For example, households may be forced to self-isolate at home for a period of time if symptoms of a viral infection arise. Like it or not, this means missing school (and potentially resorting to home-schooling), no access to childcare services, and inevitably missing work. Although there is no proven natural cure for COVID-19, we can certainly discuss ways to limit the risk of infection from this and other viruses going into the 2020/2021 fall/winter season. The best approach always has been and still remains: PREVENTION. I've said it before, and I'll say it again...an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure! Please read Dr. Jasper's Blog and find out the top 7 infection prevention tips to support your family's immune system!

Clinic Announcement (Summer 2020): ACW Staff Changes Earlier in March, we sadly said farewell to Pamela Castro, our incredibly dynamic administrative assistant that held down the fort Thursday afternoons, Friday's, and Saturday's. We were so very fortunate to have her on the team, and it was hard to not have the opportunity to personally say good-bye and good luck until much later after her depature (due to the pandemic). I've since had the pleasure of connecting with Pam,... and I am happy to report that she is back in school and pursuing her next dream (and excelling at it!). So we all wish her the best of luck on her next adventure and thank her for all the amazing work she did in her time at ACW. We love you, Miss Pam! A few weeks back, we welcomed Meagan Patenaude to our team at ACW as a part-time administrative assistant. Please come say hi to her! She is in the office Thursday afternoons, Friday's and Saturday's. She has plenty of experience in this role, and has been adapting incredibly well! Welcome Meagan!

Blog Post Alert: Summer 2020 (Clinic Announcements) Summer Greetings! I hope you are enjoying our beautiful prairie summer weather it has been an absolutely fantastic summer so far! Given the current state of affairs (i.e. pandemic-mode), there has never been a better reason to get outdoors and enjoy all that our province has to offer. However, as usual, the summer days are flying by at lightning speed and the change of season is right around the corner. For this reason..., I felt it was necessary to make a few announcements as we head into another school year and dive into fall. It's been a very busy past few months at my clinic, so I feel my update comes a little later than I had hoped...but better late than never! Here, at Active Chiropractic & Wellness (ACW), we continue to follow health and safety guidelines set forth by health directives since re-opening in May. All of our practitioners will continue to wear masks during patient encounters, and sanitize as is necessary. We appreciate it when our patients are able to wear masks to the clinicthank you to all those who continue to do this! Within the clinic, we are still doing our best to practice physical distancing, thereby limiting the number of patrons in our waiting area. At times, it can require a bit of creative choreography, and it doesn't come without it's hiccups! We are so fortunate to have such a lovely group of patients that have been respectful of our clinic's directives. And as always, we are smiling at you behind our masks!
