Benefits of Well-Fitting Partial Dentures
When a person needs a partial denture, it is crucial to have one that fits properly. Metal partial frames are the preferred choice because they are strong and thin. They are more comfortable and enable clearer speech. A good-fitting partial will balance your bite to help you chew better and have a healthier jaw joint (TMJ), plus it will provide support for lips and cheeks. If a partial is not fitting tight around the natural teeth, it will cause damage to the roots of the teeth. On average, partial dentures should be replaced every 7 years.

Straight to the POINT!
Do you suffer from a stuffy or runny nose? What about itchy, watery eyes? Do you want to avoid daily use of over-the-counter drugs? It could be time to give acupuncture a try. Allergies occur when the body’s protective Qi (pronounced “chee”) becomes weakened. When this protective Qi is not functioning optimally, harmful environmental influences such as wind are able to invade the body, giving rise to allergies and illness. Acupuncture is a highly effective, natural alternative to strengthen and support the body’s immune system. Consider trying acupuncture to alleviate and eventually prevent your seasonal allergies and hay fever. You will be overjoyed with the relief you experience!
Best Care For Your Needs
When do you need emergency care vs. outpatient care in a clinic or a house call? Many patients end up in emergency frustrated by the wait. The main reasons are that there are many other people who are also very sick, or your symptoms and condition are not necessarily considered emergent. When your condition is not emergent, you will generally wait a very long time in order to see a doctor. Try looking for care in the best setting that will serve your needs – walk-in, family doctor, emergency, or house call.
How Feelings Shape Your Reality
It is not enough just to choose “good feeling thoughts” and ignore the rest. Thoughts from fear-based feelings will continue to manifest in our lives, often in unexpected ways. It’s why “bad” things seem to happen to “good” people!
Love-based feelings completely neutralize a negative thought. Remember, any thought that you hold with feeling will become a thing! You can choose fear or love.
If you want to know what you’ve been thinking, look at your life today. Take fear-based feelings and replace them with love-based ones.

Improved Circulation using Acupuncture
Q: My hands and feet often feel cold. Can acupuncture help with this? A: This issue is quite prevalent in both males and females. Acupuncture can treat this by improving blood circulation. The traditional Chinese medical theory explains this by balancing the yin and the yang within one’s body. You can see the difference with one treatment, and multiple treatments will work to solve the root of the problem and maintain the improved circulation.
Back and Pelvic Girdle Pain
When determining how to treat back and pelvic pain, many health professions focus on what hurts, rather than on why it hurts. Physiotherapists often look at back and pelvic pain in terms of how those regions function to gain a better understanding of the causes behind pain in those areas. The team at Diane Lee & Associates uses a novel approach that combines manual therapy and dry needling to release tight muscles and stiff joints followed by motor learning, using real-time ultrasound for biofeedback, and movement training. This combined whole body approach teaches the patient how to use their body in a more efficient way to avoid problematic habits in the future.
