Did you know that our chiropractors can fit you for custom orthotics? Our feet are highly complex structures, with each foot consisting of 26 bones and hundreds of muscles, ligaments, tendons, and blood vessels. Your feet support and balance your body weight, and any alterations in your foot structure and alignment can have poor consequences for other joints in your body and even your overall health. Custom orthotics are prescription medical devices which are worn inside the ...shoes to correct foot alignment issues which cause biomechanical imbalances during walking, standing, or running. Wearing foot orthotics can also help to relieve foot pain caused by medical conditions including plantar fasciitis, bursitis, diabetes and arthritis. Orthotics have been shown to: 1. Provide support for your feet 2. Protect your joints 3. Reduce Pain 4. Enhance athletic performance 5. Prevent injuries 6. Improve your well being!!

Did you know our newest counsellor loves to work with children and young adults ? Conventional therapy isn’t the same when dealing with children and adding an element of play can be a great way to help your child!! . Here is a post written by @alannahthecounsellor and the importance of play therapy in counseling!! .... The Importance of Play in Therapy Why do I bring my kid to therapy just to play? Can’t they do that at home or school with their friends? is a question I get from a lot of parents. It’s a fair question- therapy is typically thought to consist of two people, sitting in chairs, talking to each other, and discussing problems. How does play fit? With children and teenagers, play is a form of communication. Adults use their words; children and teenagers will use games or their toys. Although there are many benefits to play, I have noticed play in therapy to be helpful in the following ways: Relieving Stress Play is a natural stress reliever! Play releases endorphins, a feel-good chemical, which creates a feeling of wellbeing and reduces stress. Creating a sense of control Play is child-centered. Children have the freedom to create the rules and decide how they want to participate, so there is no concern about consequences, punishment, or failure. This allows children to have control over their actions, words, and feelings. Teaching coping skills Play in and of itself is a coping mechanism. Colouring or playing with legos is naturally calming and meditative. Blowing bubbles or balloons encourage deep and steady breathing. Using Play-doh or other soft, squishy toys can provide sensory stimulation. Interested in learning more about the benefits of play in therapy? Feel free to connect with Alannah at LWC! ____________________________________________ References: Robinson, L. (n.d.). The Benefits of Play for Adults.

Do I have Anxiety? It is common to feel worried or stressed in our everyday lives. However, at what point does every day worry or stress become anxiety? Anxiety is sneaky and can work its way into people's lives in different ways. Some may have constant and high levels of worry about nothing specific, while others may only fear social events because they're concerned about offending someone, being judged, or embarrassing themselves. Some may fear being out of the home even... if it's to go shopping, go out for a meal, or run errands. Everyday stress and worry might be more contextual, meaning you can compartmentalize whatever is going on for you, it is manageable, or it can be a motivating factor to get tasks done. Anxiety can be exhausting, depressing, and ever-present no matter how hard you try not to let it bother you. Nevertheless, there are a few questions to ask yourself if you are still unsure if anxiety has snuck into your life: Have I had panic attacks and worried about having more? Do I have trouble sleeping or concentrating because I am worried about something? Or because my mind won't shut off? Do I go out of my way to avoid objects or situations that make me anxious? Do I feel worried about things more often and more intensely than others around me? Am I fearful about being embarrassed in public? Do I get headaches, stomach aches, or other bodily sensations from feeling anxious? How can counselling help? It can feel cathartic and be relieving to express your worries and fears to someone who can relate. Additionally, counsellors can help you figure out how to develop a toolbox of skills to embrace anxiety! Tools vary from person to person, but some can include meditation, relaxation and breathing techniques, cognitive behavioural therapy, worksheets, art therapy, the list is endless! There is no "one-size-fits-all" approach to living with anxiety. Living with it depends on you as a person and how you want to embrace it.

Are you experiencing shoulder pain? Noticing that your range in your shoulder isnt what it should be? Do you find simple reaching and pulling a bit difficult? It could be that you have a rotator cuff injury that could use some TLC. Rotator cuff injuries are common as you age and as there is more wear and tear on the muscles that stabilize your shoulder. Our shoulder is an open packed joint, meaning that there is nothing stabilizing our shoulder beside the tendons and muscles... that surround it. Our massage therapists, acupuncturists and chiropractors and cold laser can help with shoulder pain. Often shoulder pain is driven from poor posture and overuse. Helping restore mobility in the shoulder, thoracic spine and and even neck range of motion can make a big difference! integrativehealth #collaborativecare #team #chiropractic #massage #massagetherapist #osteopath #counselling #flexibility #naturopathicdoctor#naturopathicmedicine #naturopathic#naturopath #chiropractor #acupuncture #womenshealth #physiotherapy #whiterock #southsurrey #elgincorners #oceanpark #lowermainland #bc #langley#weareinthistogether #healthyliving #stresssupport #flattenthecurve #familytime

Did you gain the COVID-15? This weight gain during this trying time is a real thing! Our stress response to these changes and this pandemic have translated to stress eating and feelings of anxiety and depression. This stress causes our hormones to shift our metabolic into a survival state which includes weight gain. On top of that, we get a hit of dopamine when we eat those cookies as those foods give us a feeling of euphoria and make take some of that stress away. Many of us... went through bouts of depression as well during this time. The world as we see it has changed in a blink of an eye and the things we were looking forward to have changed for the foreseeable future. This depression and lack of motivation has probably contributed to our diet and lifestyle choices during this time. Instead of judgement, the LWC can help you with coping with this.

We are making plans and talking about how we can be ready to open soon! We all miss you and cant wait to see you. Keep following us so you can be first to hear when are ready to open

We cant wait to see you soon and open up! The BC government just announced what was able to open, however, our governing boards for each discipline have not come out with our guidelines for safe practice. Without us receiving that information from our regulatory boards, we do not have full clarity of what we need to safely open. We hope to receive this information in the following days. Here is what we do know: 1) We want to open as soon as possible, but the safety of our ...families, staff and patients still remain our priority and we take this very seriously. 2) Although mid-May sounds fantastic, we are working to secure PPE currently so that we can safely practice. This is also difficult to secure so we will be working hard to gather these materials for when we open. 3) We need to work with WorkSafe BC and our governing boards to determine how we can return to work safely. We do know that our industry has been working closely with officials to determine what these guidelines will look like, but they have not been finalized or presented to us yet. 4) There will be new protocols to follow for staff, practitioners and patients for once we are able to open and we will be sure to share those via email. We will be in touch with you as soon as we have more information and are prepared to safely open. Our booking system is closed until we can finalize each practitioners schedule, ensure proper safety for our practitioners and staff and patients. . We will be calling in the next few days once we gather this information to book you back in to resume your appointments. .

Do you know all of the benefits of Vitamin C? Vitamin C is important in the formation of: * Collagen, blood vessels, cartilage and muscle, and so it helps to maintains the integrity of many body tissues, including the skin. * Neurotransmitters, the chemicals that are important for signaling in the nervous system. * Carnitine, a chemical that supports the transport and breakdown of fatty acid to generate energy.... Other benefits of Vitamin C may include the following: * Vitamin C is an essential part of the bodys defense system. Vitamin C also encourages the production of white blood cells that can protect the body against infection. * Cardiovascular health: Vitamin C may widen the blood vessels, and this could help protect against heart disease and high blood pressure. * Cholesterol levels: These were found to be lower in individuals with adequate levels of vitamin C. * Cataracts: Vitamin C may help lower the risk of cataracts as well as of age-related macular degeneration. * Anemia: Vitamin C enhances the absorption of iron. * Histamine: Histamine is a substance the immune system produces, resulting in inflammation and other problems. A 1992 study found lower blood levels of histamine in people who took 2 grams (g) of vitamin C per day. . integrativehealth #collaborativecare #team #chiropractic #massage #massagetherapist #osteopath #counselling #flexibility #naturopathicdoctor#naturopathicmedicine #naturopathic#naturopath #chiropractor #acupuncture #womenshealth #physiotherapy #whiterock #southsurrey #elgincorners #oceanpark #lowermainland #bc #langley#weareinthistogether #healthyliving #stresssupport #flattenthecurve #familytime

Magnesium The most common nutrient deficiency Magnesium is responsible for over 300 biochemical reactions in the body and impacts blood pressure, metabolism, immune function, and many other aspects of health. It is the antedote to stress, the most powerful relaxation mineral available and can help improve sleep. .... Some experts claim that magnesium deficiency is the single largest health problem in our world today. It has been linked to inflammation in the body and higher CRP levels. . You may be magnesium deficient is you are experiencing: 1. Muscle spasms and cramps 2. Anxiety or depression 3. High blood pressure 4. Sleep disturbances 5. Migraines and Headaches 6. Constipation 7. Menstrual cramps 8. Palpitations The reason we are so deficient is that our diet is mostly devoid of magnesium. Magnesium is found in sea vegetables, nuts, green and beans. To add to that, it is depleted with excessive alcohol, coffee, sodas, chronic stress and prescription medications. . The best way to fix this deficiency is to: Eat foods that are high in magnesium. * These foods include Kelp, wheat bran, wheat germ, almonds, cashews, buckwheat, brazil nuts, dulse, filberts, millet, pecans, walnuts, rye, tofu, soy beans, brown rice, figs, dates, collard greens, shrimp, avocado, parsley, beans, barley, dandelion greens, and garlic * Take Magnesium supplements * Look for a well absorbed magnesium form including citrate or glycinate. Try to avoid forms such as magnesium carbonate, sulfate, gluconate and oxide. * Most people benefit from 400-500mg a day.

Who do YOU want to be? Im pretty sure of the answer, but why not say it here anyway!!! Im for the outer circle...

Managing Our Internal Messaging Our clinical counsellor wrote a few helpful tips about how to deal with these stressful times: During times of uncertainty we can find ourselves being hijacked by our fight or flight response. Thoughts and feelings we experience in panicky fight or flight are extremely uncomfortable. You may notice fitful sleep, racing mind, low appetite or irritability. There is a Solution!... I invite you to take a deep breath and take a step back. Consider a few simple decisions that can shift your internal environment. 1. Manage the messaging your mind and body are exposed to. Although it might feel important to keep up to date with what is going on in the world, choose a fact based source and limit information to once a day. 2. Consider the mood you would like to experience and understand our thoughts encourage our feelings. The information you expose yourself to goes a long way to determine how you feel. I am starting my day by looking at pictures of penguins because they are silly and cute. When I focus on that I literally smile and feel myself relax. Find something that gives you a mental break once or twice a day. 3. Social distancing does not need to equal isolation. This is a great place to use technology to check in with friends or family. Play a game or watch a movie together by facetime, Skype, whats app etc. 4. Get some fresh air, move your body daily and breathe. 5. Help out somehow in your community even if it is as simple as calling neighbours who are shut in, getting groceries for them if you can, or asking if any local agencies or charities can use help by distance. 6. Make sure you are feeding your body with healthy choices. Perhaps if you are at home now you actually have time to try out a new recipe. Share that with others. 7. Acknowledge that we are all in this together and we will get through it together. Reach out for help if you need it. #integrativehealth #collaborativecare #team #chiropractic #massage #massagetherapist #osteopath]#counselling #flexibility #naturopathicdoctor#naturopathicmedicine #naturopathic#naturopath #chiropractor #acupuncture #womenshealth #physiotherapy
