Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMF)

Studies have shown that the PEMF given off by the Earth is equally as important to human health as food, water, sleep, and sunlight. Pulsed Electromagnetic Field devices were originally used by NASA to maintain the health of astronauts in orbit. FDA approved pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF) for multiple uses years ago verifying that it is a legitimate and safe form of physical therapy. PEMF Therapy helps receive chronic pain, better sleep cycles, improves digestive problems, and much more. To learn more about PEMF therapy, or to purchase your own device, or to experience a PEMF treatment, contact us today.

Avoid Injury This Spring

Spring means two things: yard work and stiff, sore muscles. Stretching to prepare muscles for strenuous activities that have not been done since fall is very important. Simple things like doing arm circles, shrugging your shoulders, and touching your toes should be done before and after activity. If you do over-exert and your neck, shoulder, arm, or back pain is not going away within a week, there are natural alternatives that can help. Options such as Biofeedback, designed nutritional formulations, or NIR Therapy will reduce inflammation and stimulate muscle repair to help you recover quickly and get back to enjoying spring.

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 and dental hygienists play an integral role in the maintenance of your oral health. Be sure to book an appointment today.

Staying Active for Life!

It’s easy to come up with reasons to not want to go out, not spend time with friends or family or not be active on a regular basis. Being social and active at all ages is key to making sure the body, mind and spirit are healthy just as much as it is to eat healthy. At Misericordia Terrace, our in-house activities are designed so that our residents can have purpose in their day to day lives. Some examples include our fitness sessions which are led by a trained fitness professional. Art projects led by local artists (and you don’t need to be a Picaso to take part). Our speaker series which brings in individuals to talk about a wide range of topics including fall prevention, estate planning, diabetes management and the list goes on. It even includes fun social activities such as coffee and conversation to get to know

Managing Adult ADHD Symptoms

While ADHD is best treated with medication and therapy, many studies suggest that the supplements may be beneficial. Supplements for ADHD often include omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, magnesium, iron, and vitamin D. Omega-3s, found in fish oil, support optimal brain function, while zinc and magnesium are involved in neurotransmitter regulation and may aid in attention and focus. Iron deficiency has been linked to ADHD-like symptoms, making supplementation beneficial for some individuals. Vitamin D plays a role in cognitive function and mood regulation. Consulting with a healthcare provider is essential to determine appropriate dosages and ensure compatibility with other treatments.
