Managing Weight with Laser Acupuncture

Excess weight can be due to a variety of underlying causes, such as hormonal imbalance, emotional eating, liver dysfunction, and malabsorption. Weight management programs require a tailored approach to help clients successfully lose weight. Laser acupuncture uses a non-invasive cold laser to stimulate various acupressure points on your body. Stimulating these points causes your body to release endorphins, which can help with suppressing your appetite, controlling hunger cravings, speeding up your metabolism, and enhancing your current diet and exercise program, all of which can help lead to weight loss and successful weight management.

Suffering from Seasonal Allergies?

Spring and summer are typical times for allergies to trees, grasses, pollens, and dust to manifest increased symptoms. Simply rinsing nasal passages and eyes with a normal saline solution several times a day is a quick way to reduce symptoms before they become worse. Use of allergy medications (sprays and tablets) can help reduce symptoms further. There are many people who suffer from allergy-like symptoms who do not have the typical immunoglobulin response on testing. These sensitivities and intolerances still need to be identified and treated in order to obtain long-term symptom relief and allow the immune and detoxification systems to work properly.

Building Core Stability

It’s important to establish spine stabilization prior to core strengthening. Mobility at joints such as the hips, and stability through the lumbar spine, create the base to strengthen the whole body. By building spine stability, you prevent the risk of injury and improve results when you build whole body and joint stability. Train core muscles to provide adequate stabilization before training movement, strength, and power. When we use our arms and legs, moving from our CORE, it’s designed to amplify power… NOT generate it. Learn more about how you can become strong, stable, and resilient at Functional Movement Flow/Ram Fitness.

Feel Good in Your Relationships

Are you having problems in your relationships? Are you wondering if it’s you? When we have been hurt, it can be really hard to take chances again. Being open to others is vulnerable! We can get anxious and lose out on great connection. But protecting ourselves from others too much can interfere with a great life. Sometimes we need help figuring out how to open up to people – and what reasonable boundaries to set. Counselling is a safe and neutral place to work this out.

The Shock-Cancer link

German New Medicine explains the cause, development and eventual healing of disease through the understanding of five biological laws. These laws are a specific natural program that help our bodies to deal with stress and trauma. Ryke Geerd Hamer, MD, discovered a correlation between cancer and specific traumas that can be visualized in brain scans. The NES Health bioenergetic scan is also able to show shock and trauma recorded in the brain based on the energy field of the human body. Studies have shown that by correcting the energetic blockages, the body can finish the natural program and get back to a healthy and balanced state.

Spider Vein Therapy

Now is a great time to focus on getting your legs clear for Summer! Small, unsightly, spidery blue leg veins respond well to treatment in experienced hands. Laser therapy can be used, but can be painful and expensive, and also less effective than sclerotherapy. With sclerotherapy a very fine, barely felt needle introduces a sterile non-allergic blend of saline, and dextrose into these tiny blue veins. This irritates the vein lining, causing it to swell and reroute blood through healthier veins. Typically spider veins respond in 3-4 weeks. Warmer weather is on the horizon, so now is the best time to act!

Spring is here and love is in the air! Did you know hyperbaric oxygen therapy can improve sexual performance and fertility in both men and women? Studies have shown that HBOT can improve testosterone levels and help treat erectile dysfunction. It also improves the motility, strength and volume of sperm. For women it can help to balance hormones, uterine health and has even shown to improve odds of conception. Not only can it help get you in the mood but can help performance and enjoyment as well. Sexual health is an important part of our lives and at Oceanside Hyperbaric we recognize a holistic approach to health and wellness.

Explore Music Together

In the waiting room of my music therapy office I have a small wooden stand with hanging chimes easily accessible; In bold colours are the words, “Please Touch”. When young clients come in with their parents, they expect NOT to be able to touch something like that – but I believe music should be explored. I am always happy to encourage this, because within moments beautiful tones are chiming through the office. This experience in the waiting room is a gentle invitation to play and gives the client a taste of what is to come in their session.
