Great post by our very own @drjesstdc *** Did you notice your back and neck pain got worse over the holidays? Did you think time away from work would help but it didn’t How can this be ... ANSWER:STRESS The holidays can be a really stressful time for a lot of us ... throw in another #lockdown and that can be enough to tip your stress meter into overdrive Although it might not be the root cause, it can definitely play a big part in your pain! Even with low amounts of stress it can be enough to overstimulate our nervous systems which leads to muscle TIGHTNESS What can you do about it?

Would you be surprised if we told you that running does NOT wear down your cartilage and that it actually nourishes it? It is a commonly held belief that performing high-impact activity such as running, will certainly lead to eventual "wear-and-tear" injuries in weight-bearing joints such as the knees. As common as this notion is, it is not well supported by science. A recent review of the highest quality research on the topic seems to point to a different story! (reference... below) When investigating the direct effects of running on the cartilage in knee joints, the authors found that Running has advantages in promoting nutrition penetrating into the cartilage as well as squeezing out the metabolic substance, such as water. And while they did see a short-term increase in one marker of degeneration, they also found that it did not affect cartilage volume or thickness. THE MORAL OF THE STORY is that joints (and cartilage) need to be loaded (exercised), in order to stay healthy! For this reason, you will see that those who do not exercise will demonstrate a higher rate of degenerative joint diseases compared to those that do - even if the exercise of choice is high-impact exercise like running. Of course there are upper limits to this as well. Performing high-intensity exercise without adequate rest in between sessions will certainly lead to early joint problems. So run freely, but also mindfully and your joints will thank you for it!

PSA If you think that exercise has to be complicated, you have been misinformed! What's stopping you from getting the recommended 150 minutes/week? Resistance exercise plays a crucial role in the prevention and management of a number of chronic and age-related conditions and should be a part of everyone's 150 minute/week dose of #exercisemedicine. ... Some of the most common barriers that stop people from starting a resistance exercise routine include their own false beliefs that exercise has to take a lot of time out of the day, that it has to be complicated, and that they may not be physically capable of doing it. The pandemic has brought on a new barrier - the lack of access to facilities/equipment. These barriers are mostly rooted in misconceptions. In our new BLOG post, we clear up these misconceptions and describe in detail a simple full-body resistance exercise routine that will help you become more physically and mentally fit and resilient, right from the comfort of your own home. In addition, Dr. Peter Lejkowski outlines a simple 8-week challenge that will allow you to experience first-hand how resistance exercise can help you both physically and mentally. FOLLOW THE LINK below to read the full article and to get access to the full video that outlines a simple full-body resistance exercise routine you can do right from your own home (experience or equipment needed). https://propelactive.com/simple-full-body-workout-at-home/ ___ #homeworkoutchallenge #workoutchallenge #exercisechallenge #resistanceexercise #easyworkout #homeworkoutideas #homeworkoutsrock #homeworkoutsforyou #homeworkouts #homeworkoutvideos #movementmedicine #propelactive #keepingyoumoving #nononsensehealthcare #burlon #burlingtonchiropractor #burlingtonhealth #burlingtonontario Stuart Phillips Ontario Chiropractic Association Canadian Chiropractic Association MacKin Society Participaction Diabetes Canada Heart & Stroke inhalton Burlington

SOUND ON Laser Therapy can be very effective for treating pain, decreasing inflammation and speeding up healing. BUT, you need the right machine for the job! Example: Laser therapy has been shown to effectively treat neck pain. Most of the time, the pain is originating from the joints in the neck. In this video, Dr. Peter Lejkowski shows you just how deep some some of the painful tissues (like the joints) of the neck are.... Have you had laser therapy for your neck pain without adequate results? Not all laser machines can penetrate to that depth, rendering the treatment useless. Our Class 4 Laser is a "deep tissue laser". It delivers a long wevelength of light and is adequately powered to treat injuries that are deep.
