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.

As a naturopathic doctor, a common concern I see is fatigue. To uncover the root cause, I often recommend blood work to assess thyroid function, iron levels, hormones, and vitamin deficiencies. We also focus on lifestyle strategies like stress management, sleep optimization, and exercise. One of my favorite tools to support energy and cellular repair is NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), administered through IV therapy or intramuscular injections. NAD+ is a coenzyme essential for mitochondrial function, helping to produce the energy your cells need to thrive. NAD+ has become a popular therapy for individuals looking to boost their energy, recover from burnout, and optimize their wellness on a deeper level. It’s a game-changer for cellular health and sustainable energy.

February marks Children’s Dental Health Month. Did you know that tooth decay is the most common childhood health issue, affecting 3 in 5 children? It’s five times more prevalent than asthma and leads to a staggering loss of 51 million school hours each year. Protect your child’s smile by starting early. Schedule their first dental visit by age one and build healthy habits at home. Brush their teeth for two minutes, twice daily, and continue assisting until they can do it independently. Encourage tooth-friendly snacks like cheese, fruits, and vegetables, while avoiding sticky, sugary treats that cling to teeth. When it comes to drinks, water reigns supreme for both dental and overall health.

Q: Why is that my eyes always water when I walk outside in the cold weather?

A: It’s most likely that your eyes are slightly irritated all the time and a cool wind is enough to make them react by watering. Common causes of irritation are insufficient blinking (from staring at devices or screens), dryness, or other dysfunctions of the eyelids. Remedies include lubricating eyedrops and warm compresses, amongst other things. Come see us at Mosaic for your full assessment!
