Changing it up a little today and we’re going with Meditation Monday! Continuing with our January theme of weekly health and wellness tips for the new year compared to some more traditional chiropractic services and thoughts. As we become more and more aware of mental health and it’s crucial role, something to add to your health and wellness toolbox is meditation. It does not take much effort or time and the benefits are plentiful, which I have been overwhelmed by in the last few months since I have started meditating daily. There are numerous free apps such as Headspace or Calm that are great tools to get you started, while I personally use Insight Timer (also free) which made Time magazine’s top 50 apps of 2016. I typically try to find an extra 5-10 minutes in the morning in a quiet area to put some headphones on and get into a nice energized mindset for the day ahead. Alternatively I have also used it to help winding down from a long day or to help me fall asleep, or to even get som

Chiropractic Care in Langley – What to Expect at Your First Visit

We’re back after a little break over the holidays and here we are with the first Monday of the new year. Something my inner circle have discussed over the last few weeks is regarding the mindset around Monday. How people dread it and going back to work or school, and how that attitude persists and affects your performance. Well our challenge to you is to be excited about Monday! It’s the start of another week to show people how good you are at what you do. All those long hours and hard work you’ve put in to get where you are in your life and/or career, you get a fresh opportunity to go put it on display. You’d be surprised at how this little change in outlook and attitude can shift your mood, and even rub off on those around you in a positive way and lift them up too. I myself have found this little change to totally alter my outlook and performance on Mondays. I hope this can help start your work week and new year off on the right foot and start propelling you forward towards achievin

Re-Aligning Yourself in 2020 with Chiropractic Care

As a whole-body, health-conscious Chiropractor, my interest in the healthcare field came from a desire to see people truly living their best lives in a pain-free way. Which – ideally, would not require endless medications or prescriptions, but instead, treated the cause of the problem rather than just the symptom itself

Today we’re talking ten minute walks. Something I try and do as often as possible throughout the day is go for short walks. These 10 or so minutes can be enough to add some rhythm to your day as well as give you some health benefits as well. Whether that be getting up between classes at school or taking time to get up on your lunch break at work, it can be a simple addition to your day. Walking is easy on the joints compared to running and won’t affect cortisol levels like long cardio sessions can. A simple 10 minute walk following a meal can also help reduce blood sugar and help with digestion and replenish energy levels. Plus, its free! Get outside, go for a short walk several times a day and see the benefits grow. Your body is meant to move and not sit on the couch or behind the desk! The movement will also allow our chiropractic adjustments and other aspects of the chiropractic treatment to take hold and help prevent aches and pains from flaring up again. The fresh air will do you

“The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patient in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease” – Thomas Edison. This quote is something I’ve consistently seen come up in reference to chiropractic. The apparent context is Edison was concerned over the healthcare of his time a century ago. I find the connection strong to what we are trying to do in our practice, through educating our patients in ways to properly move and what foods and vitamins they should be ingesting to get the most out of their bodies to fulfil their lifestyle goals. This applies to the aches and pains and postural imbalances people have from their day to day lives where we aim to target what is actually causing these imbalances and how to fix them rather than masking the symptoms presented

I’ve introduced myself and some various forms of chiropractic care, but what about the very thing we are most known for; the adjustment. The adjustment is typically a high velocity, low amplitude (HVLA) thrust into a joint to help correct and restore movement through that specific joint. There often but not always is a popping or cracking sound that is accompanied by these thrusts, also known as cavitations. These are caused by gas bubbles forming in the joint as they gap

As chiropractors we have tools in our toolbox besides adjustments. Other chiropractic services we offer include things like nutrition advice. As such, as we move into the dark, grey and rainy season around Vancouver, often we go to work and return home and it’s dark out. It is no surprise then how so many of us don’t have enough vitamin D in our systems from a lack of exposure to sunlight. There aren’t many foods that provide vitamin D, so in these next few months when we can’t get as much natural sunlight as we’d like, supplementing with vitamin D is highly recommended. Recent studies have shown that traditional amounts of 400 IU’s per day of vitamin D are in fact way too low and we are actually needing 5000 IU’s daily to help limit depression, lower the risk of getting the flu, helping the body to absorb calcium and improve muscle and bone health as well as greatly lowering the risk of fractures and falls in older adults as just a few examples. For any other questions regarding vitam

Mindful Monday! As we near the end of January, this is commonly a time when most people start to fall out of their lifestyle and wellness changes they’ve been implementing in the new year. When the gyms start to become less busy as people decide to stop going for a workout. Don’t let that person be you! You’re getting close to these small changes becoming habits that will give you benefits throughout the coming weeks, months and years.

Most people should be aware of the importance of having a dark, quiet and cold room to sleep in, and to avoid heavy meals and drinks late at night to avoid indigestion. We should also be avoiding that nightcap as the alcohol prevents you from getting into the REM portion of your sleep cycle

Pros and Cons of Using Air Cleaners at Home

It’s unquestionable, breathing cleaner air leads to an improvement in our overall quality of life.

Is Air Sanitation Effective to Kill Germs?

We’re living in a world where air sanitation has become just as important as surface disinfection, especially after last year, when COVID-19 was categorized as an airborne disease. But the coronavirus is not the only infection that spreads through airborne transmission, considering that every year during flu season (fall and winter) different variants of influenza and other respiratory viruses like the common cold, that circulate year-round, increase their activity due to cold and dry weather. Therefore, it is worth knowing the benefits of air sanitation, the different methods to achieve it, and whether or not air sanitation is effective to kill germs, such as bacteria and of course viruses
