It’s a New Year, time for reflection, time for evaluation, and time for change. For me this year, one of the first changes I am making, is moving my writing to a more public forum via the Blogging World. In this Blog, I aim to keep you up to date with Health and Wellness news, provide information about our promos and exciting events at Oakville Chiropractic Centre, and share some anecdotes along the way. I hope you find it both interesting and insightful. Feel free to share with me your feedback on Twitter @Chiropractalk or email your health queries to…

Now I am not referring to any alcohol consumed by those of you that may have participated in festivities associated with dressing up and imbibing in the spirit of the season. I am referring to the ongoing challenge of the Halloween leftovers. One always hopes that there is a direct one to one correlation to the number of gremlins and goblins that knock on the door and the amount of candy purchased for distribution. Unfortunately this year the number of participants was considerably lower than peanut butter cups and bags of chips. I spoke with many of you in August…

Well here we go. Halloween last night and a little frost on the pumpkin this morning. In the past three years there has been a movement to elevate the awareness of Prostate Cancer. The project is for men to grow a mustache during the month of November … now called Movember… to raise awareness and funds. Now I am not like some men who grow a stache in two days…but I am in for the cause. Anyone with fair hair and complexion know my situation but I will give it the old college try. Why the awareness? 1 out of…

Wow… that is a bold statement but if you are willing to commit 30 days you can make a palpable difference in your life. Many times I speak with patients who have been listless, lethargic and just plain lack that spark of life that makes things enjoyable. They may be on several drugs to try and make their life normal but often this leads you to go further down the rabbit hole. So what can you do in 30 days….well let’s start with the colon. I believe that most people suffer from some sort of constipation. Now just because you…

Just a quick hit here guys…. What a busy week, I have barely had a second to catch my breath and talk to you my blogging friends! What’s new in the world? While at Alliance we are moving full steam into the fall season as the leaves hit the ground. They do fall quickly; it seems everybody is running out to the yard trying to get a handle on them before it’s too late. Remember though, always be safe when doing your yard work as you should never over exert yourself as we the dwellers of the North still have…

Hope everybody enjoyed their long weekends, cause now its back to the weekly grindstone. My goodness Thanksgiving seemed to creep up quite quickly this year. While many of us were still waiting for the sun to arrive laden in beach wear someone told us the Turkey was in the oven and to finally give up! “Put away the beach volleyball, wrap up the lawn chairs, close the pool”, guess they are right we have all had to adorn a jacket by this time. It may be time for the shorts to fly south! Fly, huh! Well time certainly does fly,…

As you all know, sometimes I like to put a little bit of personality into my blogs,. Often I like to reach past issues of Chiropractic, Spinal Decompression , Sciatica etc… and just convey some of my personal thoughts, today is definitely no exception as I gear up for Thanksgiving.Are we excited here or what? Its Thanksgiving in the Great White North this weekend and I must relay, over the course of the year this has to be one of my favourite holidays.What’s better than gathering around family and friends sharing some pumpkin pie, turkey etc… watching movies, maybe a…

Many of my patients’ conditions are the product of improper sleeping habits that have developed over the course of their lives. It is estimated we spend about 33% of our time in beds; shouldn’t we make sure that we are doing this right? It’s rather interesting that we are taught from an early age how to walk and talk but sleeping is a task that we simply inherit. It is difficult for some to understand sleeping improperly can perhaps be the most damaging factor towards your back and body issues.As everyone knows rest is important to the human body but…

Many back pain sufferers think they exhaust all avenues of treatment just trying to quell the pain which hinders their daily routines.In a number of cases patients are presented with an end of the road decision in the attempt to be pain free. It is a last ditch effort to vanquish the situation and quite often patients make it far too hastily.That option is having back surgery to repair acute conditions such as Herniated Discs, Sciatica, Degenerated Discs etc…It is no secret that back surgery is a risky business. All back surgeons will agree anybody thinking of back surgery should…

Well that about does it for summer doesn’t it? It was a good ride, a wet and unusually cold one but fun nonetheless. How did you enjoy the summer of 2009? Did you travel, stay at home and enjoy what weather we had to enjoy? Are you ready for the coming months and the turning of the leaves?I am talking to a lot of our patients right now about this seasonal transition. The kids are back in school the air becomes a tad chillier and before you know it we are right back into the thick of a Canadian winter.With…

Just a quick hit here…..I just want to say as a Chiropractor I have the marvelous opportunity to aid people who have suffered with conditions such as Sciatica for years.So it is rather frustrating when far too often I hear people convey “It’s just something I have to live with” or “Guess that’s just life”.While I can truly tell you that there are a number of options for you to discuss with your Chiropractor. You are definitely not alone and Chiropractic combined with other therapies can help.Never accept a defeatist attitude and remember, in addition to any treatment,the power of…
