Wildfire Smoke Health Risks
Wildfire smoke, a blend of PM2.5 and gases like carbon monoxide, poses severe health risks in Western Canada. It obstructs oxygen intake, irritates the respiratory system, and triggers inflammation, manifesting in eye irritation, coughing, or headaches. While most symptoms are manageable, severe cases require medical attention, especially if experiencing breathlessness or chest pain. Minimizing exposure is crucial. HEPA air filters and sealed environments help indoors. While driving, maintain closed windows and recirculated air. During smoky periods, reduce exertion, exercise indoors, and stay hydrated. Prioritize health amidst wildfires. Source: (bccdc.ca/health-info/prevention-public-health/wildfire-smoke)
Proper Sizing for a Rollator Walker
When choosing a rollator, proper fit is crucial for safety and comfort. At Schaan Healthcare, we offer fittings tailored to each customer. We will start by having you try a mini, regular, or tall model to see which offers you the most comfort. The seat height should be at the bend of your knee, and you should be able to sit in a perched position. Next, we will adjust the handle height so that the center of your wrist is at the handgrips. You should be walking upright with a 15% bend in your elbows. Visit us at 2346 Millar Avenue to enjoy greater independence with every step!
Hearing Aids & Summer
As temperatures rise, it’s important to understand how to take care of your hearing aids. Beware of Heat! Avoid putting your hearing aids in places that attract heat quickly – like the glove compartment or console in your car. Stay Away from Moisture! Remember to take your hearing aids out before swimming or if you’re caught in the rain. Keep ‘em Clean! Warm, humid weather creates a breeding ground for germs and bacteria. You can use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris from your hearing aids. Follow these simple tips and get outside to enjoy the warm weather.
Migraine Relief with BodyTalk
BodyTalk is a gentle, non-invasive therapy that helps identify and address the root causes of migraines. Using a structured protocol, the practitioner asks the body yes/no questions to uncover imbalances or stressors. For migraine sufferers, this may reveal issues like body chemistry imbalances, poor circulation in specific brain areas, or restrictions in cerebrospinal fluid flow. Emotional triggers—such as repetitive thoughts or feelings—often emerge as contributing factors. Since migraines typically involve multiple underlying causes, BodyTalk offers a holistic approach that supports natural healing and may help reduce the frequency and severity of episodes. Relief starts with listening to your body.
