There are many ways to alleviate the pain associated with headaches however you should always try to get to the root cause as an absence of symptoms is not always an indicator of function. Drink water throughout the day. Use certified pure therapeutic grade peppermint oil. Keep it away from eyes. Peppermint oil is one of the most commonly used essential oils to treat headaches and migraine attacks. It contains menthol, which can help relax muscles and ease pain. It's thought that applying diluted(with a carrier oil) peppermint oil topically can help relieve pain from both tension headaches and migraine attacks.

Sara Deschamps has some rare openings next week. Call the office or book online. 705-521-1100

TEXT NECK!(forward head posture that is often observed with overuse of handheld electronics) Often seen in our office by our chiropractic and massage therapy team. If your children or you have a neck that slants forward, and your head pokes in front of your shoulders instead of resting directly above them, you likely have what is called forward head posture. This position can strain your neck muscles and load dozens of extra pounds of pressure on your cervical spine, increasi...ng the risk of spinal degeneration. 3 ways to help. Chin Tuck Stand with your upper back against a wall, feet shoulder-width apart. Face forward, tuck your chin down, and pull your head back until it meets the wall. Hold the stretch for 5 seconds before resting, and repeat 10 times. Corner Stretch Face a corner of a room or stand in a doorway. Place your forearms against each wall (or each door jamb) with your elbows slightly below shoulder level. Lean forward until you feel a stretch in your chest under your collarbone. Hold for up to a minute. Set up work space effectively Raise your computer monitor so your eyes hit the top third of the screen when you look straight ahead. Position your mouse and keyboard so when you use them your forearms are parallel to the floor and your elbows are bent approximately 90 degrees. Buy an office chair with a headrest so you can keep the back of your head flush against the chair while working.

Back to school tips for nutrition. So very important as we have to keep the fuel tank full of gas to keep our little people running all day. Our kids would get "hangry" so we always packed a great lunch and a few snacking items as well. Always give enough time to start with a great breakfast as well. Plan out the week's lunches and get everyone involved. Eat Well!

This fall will bring about some changes, however the same tips apply to home schooling or in class instruction. Start adjusting bedtimes now. Add a nighttime bath into the routine. Based on our experience, a warm bath and a good book before bedtime help children fall asleep. Children really do thrive with routines and the proper amount of rest.(so do we as adults we think as well) No electronics or screen time after a certain time.
