Ocular Discomfort and Eye Fatigue

If you experience blurry or double vision, eye discomfort, or daily headaches with vision at work, you could be dealing with eye fatigue related to extensive eye use in a challenging visual environment. Contributing factors can include eye muscle or eye focussing inadequacies, dry eyes, improper computer ergonomics, eye refractive changes, over exposure to low wavelength light, and underlying health conditions. A complete eye exam that includes a good case history, testing of visual functions, ocular health assessment, and an understanding of treatment options, are all important to diagnose and manage the problem.

Acupuncture for Less Anxiety

Many studies involving hundreds of patients have shown evidence that acupuncture can help treat anxiety and can have similar effects as talk therapy. Acupuncture can help the body relax in a variety of ways, including 1) prompting the parasympathetic nervous system to release signals for relaxation; 2) improving the heart rate variability, which helps the body cope with stress; 3) calming the hypothalamus, which releases neurochemicals when we are under stress; and 4) helping with the flow of endorphins, the body’s own “feel good” chemicals. Acupuncture can be considered as an effective alternative to traditional pharmacological and psychological treatments.

A New Year Awaits New Possibilities

When I listen to my intuition and emotions noticing all the ways I have failed to do so in the past, it serves to align my inner compass, welcoming in authenticity and flow.
When I value my time, energy and self-worth, I release the people, situations and experiences that have failed to respect the boundaries I set and connect in with those that do, I respect myself.
When I put my values into action, I live and operate from my highest vision. Feeding my strengths and talents, infusing them into my creativity. Honoring my integrity and self-expression.
When I learn to make peace with my past, I release the pain and grief of what can’t be. Welcoming self-compassion and acceptance for what can be, I renew my life.

Travelling? Consider a Pet Sitter

Arranging for pet care while you’re away can feel like an overwhelming decision. It’s important to look for caregivers who will not only provide for basic needs like food and water, but also companionship, reassurance, and playtime while you’re away. If you can find someone to come to your home, your pet gets to stay in his familiar surroundings, which is less stressful than taking him to a new location. You and your pet should feel comfortable about the care arrangements, so you can enjoy your vacation without worry!

Dentures and TMJ Disorders

TMJ Disorders, or Temporomandibular Joint Disorders, can sometimes be caused by too much space between your upper and lower teeth. When your dentures no longer fit properly because of ridge resorption and worn down tooth anatomy, this can lead to a decreased vertical dimension, which in turn can cause TMJ pain. Symptoms like headaches, popping in the jaw, pain in the jaw, neck pain, dizziness, pain in the ears, ringing in your ears, or even hearing loss could occur. If you experience any of these symptoms, talk with your denturist to see how they can help with this issue. Make sure to get your dentures checked regularly to prevent further problems.
