Cortisone injections are commonly used to reduce inflammation and relieve pain from joint or soft tissue injuries. They contain corticosteroids, which mimic the body’s natural anti-inflammatory hormones. These injections are often administered directly into the affected area, such as a knee or shoulder. Relief may be felt within a few days and can last from weeks to months. Cortisone injections are typically part of a broader treatment plan, including rest, physical therapy, or other interventions to support long-term healing and prevent further injury.

Embrace Summer Therapy Today
Summer isn’t just a season—it’s an opportunity for renewal. With longer days and abundant sunlight, your body naturally produces more serotonin and vitamin D, boosting mood and reducing anxiety. This makes summer an ideal time to begin therapy. The relaxed pace, increased outdoor activities, and vibrant social interactions can enhance your therapeutic journey. Whether through nature walks, outdoor mindfulness, or simply enjoying the sunshine, integrating therapy into your summer routine can lead to lasting positive change. Embrace the season’s energy and take the first step towards a healthier, more balanced you.
Gum Disease While Wearing Dentures?
Dentures are a common solution for individuals with missing teeth, providing functional and aesthetic benefits. However, it’s important to remember that wearing dentures does not eliminate the risk of gum disease. In fact, improper denture care can contribute to gum problems. Gum disease can manifest as redness, swelling, and bleeding gums. When plaque and bacteria accumulate on dentures or denture-supporting tissues, it can lead to inflammation and infection. To prevent gum disease, it’s crucial to maintain proper oral hygiene by cleaning dentures thoroughly, letting your gums rest, and brushing the gums and tongue. Good oral care ensures a healthy smile, whether you have natural teeth or dentures.
Calm Your Anxiety with Sound
Sound baths are a meditative experience that uses soothing sounds and vibrations from instruments like gongs, singing bowls, and chimes to promote relaxation and reduce anxiety. As participants lie down and listen, the resonant tones help slow brainwaves, encouraging a deep state of calm and mindfulness. These frequencies can shift the nervous system from a stressed, fight-or-flight state to one of rest and restoration. Many find that regular sound baths ease physical tension, quiet racing thoughts, and enhance emotional well-being. While not a replacement for therapy, sound baths can be a supportive, holistic tool for managing stress and anxiety naturally.

Stroke Awareness & Men’s Health Month
June is the perfect time to focus on prevention and early awareness. Stroke is a leading cause of disability in Canada, and men are at a higher risk—especially over age 55. Know the signs: sudden numbness, confusion, trouble speaking, or loss of balance. Healthy lifestyle choices like eating well, staying active, and managing blood pressure can greatly reduce risk. Men’s Health Month also encourages regular checkups and open conversations about physical and mental health. Taking small steps today can lead to stronger tomorrows. For more tips on staying well at any age, visit us at:
June is Men’s Health Month
Men’s Health Month encourages men to focus on physical, mental, and social well-being. Throughout June, men are urged to set health goals and create a plan to achieve them. Men aged 15–65 are less likely than women to seek preventive care or have a primary care provider. Taking the first step—scheduling a visit with your primary care doctor—can help identify needed screenings and build a foundation for long-term health. Prioritize mental health, manage stress, stay socially connected, and listen to your body. Men’s Health Month is a great time to take charge and commit to a healthier future.
Send Him Some Local Love
With Men’s Mental Health and Father’s Day both in the month of June, this is a perfect opportunity to celebrate the significant men in our lives with nature’s timeless beauty. The variety of floral arrangements and lush plants mirrors the diverse personalities of men. From the classic elegance of roses to the cheerful vibrancy of sunflowers and the tranquility of green plants, each choice is crafted to uniquely honor them. This year, opt for a bouquet and a fruit gift basket, that not only shows appreciation but also symbolically enriches the enduring bond.
Men Deserve Flowers
Flowers aren’t just for women—men appreciate their beauty, sentiment, and the thoughtful gesture behind them. This Father’s Day, surprise the dad, husband, grandfather, or father figure in your life with a bouquet that reflects his personality. Bold blooms, earthy tones, or modern arrangements can brighten his day and express gratitude in a unique way. Whether he’s a nature lover, a quiet supporter, or your family’s rock, flowers say “thank you” in a fresh, memorable way. Giving flowers breaks old stereotypes and brings joy to any space. This year, celebrate Father’s Day with a gesture he won’t expect—but will love.
