Achilles tendinopathy can be a painful and uncomfortable condition and can often limit recreation activities such as running. When this condition is acute, it can be a difficult condition to manage. Evidence treatment options such as laser therapy, soft tissue therapies, gentle exercises and athletic taping can aid in symptom and pain reduction. In longstanding chronic cases, shockwave therapy can be useful for improving pain and function. An emphasis on rehabilitation at this stage is also important. If you would like to discuss treatment options for Achilles tendinopathy book an initial consultation with our chiropractors and we can build a treatment plan to best suit your needs.

Ask The Expert
Q: I wear disposable contact lenses but I kind of worry about that being wasteful. Should I really be throwing them out all the time?
A: Your eyecare provider may have access to a recycling system for that – you may have to ask. Some contact lens manufacturers have programs to take back blister packs and even the contact lenses themselves for recycling. Cardboard packaging can be put in your household recycling of course. As an aside, it is safer for the environment if soft contact lenses are not flushed away as that can contribute to microplastic pollution. Come see us at Mosaic for all your contact lens needs!

Our Bodies Hold Our Stories
When there is something you are not allowing yourself to feel, admit or acknowledge and we stuff the unexpressed feeling down, it becomes an energy form that stresses the body. It starts when an uncomfortable emotion doesn’t want to be felt or experienced. We ignore and bury our intolerable feelings to forget about them. This energy tenses muscles, lessens blood flow and eventually becomes illness, pain, or dis-ease. The hidden process of stuffing our emotions is called “somaticizing”. When your body is asked to hold an emotional state for too long, it begins manifesting into physical symptoms or creates an addiction to keep it at bay.
Have a Pain-Free Summer
No one wants to be in pain during the summer when there’s so much to do! Pain can prevent us from living our best summer life. As we spend more time outdoors engaging in activities like hiking, swimming, and biking, the potential for neck, back and overall muscle pain increases. Gentle, targeted spinal alignments along with soft tissue therapy release tension and pressure, relieving pain and preventing injury. This improves overall mobility, allowing you to stay active and enjoy summer to the fullest. Fortunately, maintaining your health and happiness is easier when chiropractic care is part of your summer wellness routine.
Healthy Smiles for Happy Pets
Dental health is just as important for pets as it is for people. Poor oral hygiene can lead to plaque buildup, gum disease, tooth loss, and even infections that affect the heart, liver, and kidneys. Bad breath, difficulty eating, and pawing at the mouth are signs of dental problems that shouldn’t be ignored. Regular brushing, dental treats, and annual veterinary checkups help keep your pet’s teeth and gums in top shape. Preventative care not only improves their quality of life but can also extend it. A healthy mouth means a healthier, happier companion by your side.
What is Pharmaceutical Compounding?
Compounding pharmacies provide personalized medication solutions tailored to individual patient needs. Unlike traditional pharmacies, which dispense mass-produced medications, compounding pharmacies specialize in customizing prescriptions. They combine pharmaceutical ingredients to create formulations in unique dosages, forms, and flavors, accommodating patients with allergies, sensitivities, or specific medical requirements. Compounding pharmacists work closely with healthcare providers to develop medications not commercially available or to alter existing formulations. This personalized approach enhances treatment efficacy, promotes patient adherence, and addresses therapeutic gaps. Overall, they offer a vital service in healthcare, ensuring tailored and effective treatments for diverse patient populations.
