Today I am grateful for rest. I often looked at slow Sunday mornings as lazy, and felt guilty.

I am grateful to rest a little bit longer, to give my body and mind what they need to restore. ... What are you grateful for today?

FAQ Friday: is chiropractic evidence-based? Short answer: YES Chiropractic is a healing discipline firmly grounded in science. Few other health care interventions have been assessed as extensively as chiropractic manipulation, both in terms of safety and effectiveness. There have been at least six formal government studies into chiropractic worldwide over the last 25 years and all have concluded that modern chiropractic care is safe, effective, cost-effective and have recomme...nded public funding for chiropractic services. In addition, there have been countless scientific clinical studies assessing the appropriateness, effectiveness, and/or cost-effectiveness of spinal manipulation or chiropractic manipulation, most notably for low back pain. The Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHI) now offers research grants in partnership with the Canadian Chiropractic Association to chiropractors and other scientists for high quality, chiropractic research. . . #evidencebased #chiropractic #faqfriday #wellresearched #chiropractor #drannestacey #vancouverchiro

Headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems, and tennis elbow are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved quickly and often permanently with ART. Every ART session is a combination of examination and treatment. I use my hands to evaluate the texture, tightness and movement of muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments and nerves. Abnormal tissues are treated by combining precisely directed tensi...on with very specific patient movements. Typically, ART treatment should not be painful. However, it should feel like a deep and thorough stretch, opening up areas that are unable to be accessed through typical stretching programs or passive soft tissue therapy such as yoga or traditional massage. Some individuals do experience acute discomfort in sensitive or injured areas, but symptoms typically resolve quickly.

Being in the kitchen with my family and friends and making a beautiful feasts together is one of the ways I share my love for them and for food.

FAQ Friday! This week's question: Is chiropractic treatment appropriate for children and babies? The short answer is Yes. Dr. Stacey treats the whole family. Pediatric chiropractic is extremely safe care with a light touch. Chiropractic care is a highly skilled treatment, and in the case of children, very gentle.... Children are very physically active and experience many types of falls and blows from activities of daily living as well as from participating in sports. Injuries such as these may cause many symptoms including back and neck pain, stiffness, soreness or discomfort.

Trigger Point Balls! Trigger point massage balls can be used to help release tight and knotted muscles. They allow you to apply specific, targeted pressure to a stiff or achy spot in your muscles. The ball allows you to reach spots you can't get at with your own hands. You use your body to adjust the pressure and achieve the release of the tight muscle or knot. Keep one in your car for breaks on long car rides or keep one in your desk for massage breaks at work. We have them... stocked in the clinic, get one during your next visit! . . . #triggerpoint #massageball #tightmuscle #muscleknot #eastpointnaturalhealth #vancouverchiro #drannestacey See more

NEW BLOG! One way to reduce inflammation and speed up healing is by using Cold Laser Therapy. Cold laser therapy is low-intensity laser therapy (LLT) that uses low levels of light to speed up healing. Unlike surgical or aesthetic lasers it does not cause your tissues to heat up or burn, although some people do experience a warm sensation. . We often use Cold Laser Therapy to treat inflammation caused by arthritis and other chronic autoimmune diseases, it is also used for the... treatment of acute injuries. . As a modality Dr. Stacey uses Cold Laser therapy with chiropractic care. She has seen how it is a great addition because it can help reduce acute pain in a non-invasive manner.

The schedule is filling up quickly now that we are back to regular in-person visits. Dr. Stacey is already fully booked this week and next week is filling up fast. Did you know the Jane app allows you to book recurring appointments? Book appointments in batches ahead and ensure you get the time that works for your busy schedule. Not sure how to judge when to book. Think about how many weeks it typically is between your appointment and when you start feeling you need a treat...ment. Book your appointment either at that interval or at a slightly shorter interval. For example, I usually 'feel it' 3 weeks after treatment but due to my busy schedule it ends up being 4-5 weeks between treatments and by that time my daily activities are affected by the pain or limited range of motion. I will plan my re-current appointments for every 2-3 weeks, this way I get treatment before the pain and I don't have to worry about getting to the point where it is affecting my day to day. If something comes up I can easily modify an appointment as needed. We may not be able to accommodate last minute appointments because of the enhanced cleaning required between patients and the limit on the number of people that can be in the office.
