According to Stats Canada over 37% of Canadians over the age of 20 have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis, mainly affecting hips and knees. This is the wear and tear condition due to breakdown of cartilage between the joints leading to pain and stiffness. Along with typical Naturopathic treatments, another beneficial treatment modality is Cold Laser, which uses light wavelengths to stimulate new energy production leading to restoration of normal function by increasing blood flow, nervous stimulation, and new cell growth. These treatments are non-invasive, painless and can be done a few times a week to stimulate that healing process.

People with arthritis often face challenges with mobility, personal care, and activities of daily living. Family caregivers are sometimes limited by how often they can be with their loved ones to lend a hand. By expanding the care team, regular, ongoing support would be beneficial for the person living with arthritis and provide peace of mind for family. A Care Professional helps minimize arthritis-related difficulties by assisting with ambulation, bathing and grooming, home projects, light housekeeping, meal preparation, laundry, bedding changes and transportation. With family or a private company, explore the care options your loved one needs and deserves.
