This November, during Fall Prevention Month, we want to make sure you’re watching your step. With winter fast approaching, it’s important to take precautions to... help avoid slipping or falling on snow or ice. Did you know that one of the best tips to help prevent a fall this winter is to walk like a penguin? Seriously! The penguin waddle helps keep your centre of gravity over the front leg as you step. Don’t let a fall get you down. Chiropractors are committed to helping reduce injury and disability from falls. To learn how a chiropractor can help you or a loved one avoid a fall or help after one, as well as tips to help keep you safe this winter, please visit https://ecs.page.link/Mi8i6 #FallPreventionMonth #ChiropracticCare

Here is some more research on our friend vitamin D from Dr. John Campbell https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5yVGmfivAk

Excellent food sources of vitamin C include berries, citrus fruits, kiwi, bell peppers and dark green vegetables. Use herbs and spices: Not only do herbs and spices add terrific flavor to our foods but they also can boost our immune system due to their antioxidant properties. Some good ones to cook with are garlic, ginger, black peppercorn, cayenne pepper, allspice, curry and turmeric. Drink plenty of water: Water can help to detoxify the body so staying hydrated is one of th...e best and simplest things you can do to improve your health. For an extra health boost, add a slice of lemon, which will provide valuable vitamin C. Aim to get 7 to 8 hours of sleep a night: Chronic fatigue increases the risk of illness. When its at rest, the body rejuvenates and strengthens. By sleeping 7 to 8 hours a night, the cells in your blood are working to keep infections at bay. Pay attention to gut health: Did you know that approximately 80% of our immune system resides in our digestive system. So maintaining a healthy gut can keep your immune system strong. Consuming foods rich in probiotics (or good bacteria) can help you stay healthy. Good choices are sauerkraut, miso, yogurt, kefir and kimchi. You can also take probiotic supplements. Avoid antibiotics (if possible): Though in some cases, antibiotics are necessary, its essential to steer clear of them whenever possible. Thats because they attack good bacteria in the digestive system and decrease immune functions. Always seek a natural alternative first. Get moving: Not only can exercising keep us in shape and help to pare pounds, but it also boosts our immune function, improves sleep quality, and strengthens our body. Taking a brisk 30-minute walk each day is beneficial. Also, stay away from processed meats, fried foods, soft drinks, processed baked goods, or products with artificial sweeteners or refined sugars. Consuming too much of them suppresses the immune system. Soak up some sun: Vitamin D is essential to strengthen our immune system, so aim to go outside a few times a week, without sunscreen, for about 30 minutes, when the suns rays arent at their strongest. Take time to relax, laugh and enjoy life: Build some downtime in your day to enjoy a favorite hobby, spend time with a friend or loved one, or read a good book. As chronic stress can cause depression, its vital to take the time to enjoy life and have fun!

It turns out your mother was right stand up/sit up straight! Good posture allows your joints, ligaments, and muscles to work together in an efficient way to decrease strain and workload. Gravity is beating you down all day. If we dont position our bodies in a posture that allows for good balance and support, the force of gravity will pull on our muscles and ligaments leading to strain. Strain often leads to pain. Some of you may be familiar with the NPR piece on Text Nec...k. If you hold your head at 60 degree of flexion, that is the equivalent of putting 60 lbs of pressure through your neck. The muscles and ligaments along the back of your neck are forced to work six times as hard as the neck of a person with good posture. So, if you are reading this blog on your phone, raise it up to eye level or lift your head and cast your eyes downward. Your neck will thank you, other wise you might need to come see us sooner than you like! See more

Some great advice!

At some point, nearly everyone has experienced lower back pain. Instead of reaching for a painkiller, see a doctor of chiropractic instead.

A new study from Chiropractor Dr. Carlo Ammendolia has found that Manual therapy plus exercise has best short term and long term results for spinal stenosis! https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30646197 See Dr. Ammendolia on CTV... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WanVciRhPNw

The Most Natural Remedy Known To Humans...I know you thought it was Chiropractic...but... Many people confuse getting sick, feeling off, headaches or abnormal pains with a cause that differs from reality the reality being they are dehydrated! In order to reap the health benefits of water, you must drink it frequently throughout the day. Dehydration can create symptoms of false illness as water plays a vital role in staying healthy. Indigestion and gastrointestinal issues in...cluding aches, cramping, constipation, diarrhea and lack of nutrient absorption can all be directly correlated to a simple lack of water. Are YOU drinking enough water?...for many reasons!

Tuesday Fun Fact! We have the same number of neck vertebrae as giraffes Considering a giraffe could look into a second-storey window without having to tippy-toe -- youd think hed have way more neck vertebrae than us humans. But thats not the case. Even though a giraffes neck is about six feet long, this mammal has seven vertebrae -- just like us. The only difference is that a giraffes neck alone weighs about 600 pounds!

For your scheduling needs, FYI...Dr. Adam Dubler will be away the afternoon of July 2 - July 10. Should you need an appointment during that week, Dr. Richard Dubler will be available.

Guidelines suggest trying various non-drug therapies for low back pain before using #opioids. Multimodal therapies, like combining exercise & spinal manipulation, can help reduce pain and improve function! #onpoli
