Although chiropractic care is most often thought to help with back pain, it can also be beneficial as an adjunct therapy for a variety of symptoms including, but not limited to, headaches, digestive issues, perinatal care and pediatrics. Chiropractic improves biomechanics of the spine and joints resulting in enhanced nervous system function and blood flow/circulation. Regular chiropractic care helps to strengthen and fortify the body and works to heal damage done by past injuries and illnesses, making it a worthwhile investment to your health. Come try out gentle soft tissue-based chiropractic care.

Feeling Dizzy?
Dizziness and vertigo are often related but distinct sensations. Dizziness encompasses feelings of light-headedness and imbalance while vertigo involves a false sensation of movement, typically spinning or tilting. Various causes include inner ear disorders, vestibular migraines, Meniere’s disease, or benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Treatment depends on the underlying cause. For BPPV, specific head maneuvers like the Epley maneuver can reposition displaced inner ear crystals. Medications, vestibular rehabilitation therapy, dietary changes, or surgery may be recommended based on diagnosis. LifeSmart Medical Osborne is happy to welcome Dr. Aidin Shariatzadeh, CSCN (EEG) to the team. Dr. Shariatzadeh is a Neurologist with a stroke fellowship. If you are feeling dizzy, ask your family physician about seeing a Neurologist. Our LifeSmart Medical Osborne location is accepting Neurology patients.
April is Oral Health Month
Oral health is important for everyone, including denture wearers. Gum disease, dental decay, and tooth loss are some of the main problems that denture wearers experience, so it is important to take good care of your gums, any remaining natural teeth, and to keep your partial or complete denture(s) clean and properly fitted! If gums, natural teeth, partials, and complete dentures are not cleaned properly, you are likely to experience a build-up of plaque, leading to bad breath, cavities, gum disease and further tooth loss. Denturists play an integral role in the maintenance of your oral health. Be sure to book an appointment today.

Practice Positivity to Increase Happiness
The magic ratio of positive to negative thoughts and/or interactions for maximum well-being is 5:1. Unfortunately, we naturally have a negativity bias and are nowhere near this ideal number. This built-in bias is normal, but not always helpful. Some simple ways to increase our positive thoughts include reframing (for example – instead of thinking it’s raining today, so it will be miserable, think – it’s raining, the perfect opportunity to spend more time indoors and do XYZ). Other ways to increase positivity include connecting with others to hear different perspectives, viewing challenges as opportunities to learn, and finally, practicing gratitude daily. What will you do to increase your happiness?
