Approximately 85% of concussions go undiagnosed. The reason this happens is because you do not have to lose consciousness to have a concussion. However, repeated blows to the head can accumulate and cause just as much damage as a concussion. When a vision problem is causing or contributing to a problem with reading, balance or movement, the recovery process will move very slowly until the visual component is treated. The good news is that the majority of these vision problems are fully treatable. If you or a loved one is struggling with reading, schedule an appointment today.

What is Computerized Biofeedback?
Computerized Biofeedback testing and Bioresonance treatment are highly effective ways of testing and treating the body. This computerized analysis identifies underlying imbalances in organs and tissues. It also identifies impurities such as, chemicals, metals, toxins, yeasts and viruses, that can cause or trigger health problems. Additionally, the testing will indicate if there is a deficiency of vitamins, minerals and proteins in the body. If an imbalance, deficiency or impurity is identified, they can then be treated with a Bioresonance wave or frequency. This wave helps to stimulate correction of the affected area or imbalance, to help your body function optimally.
Have You Heard of Ashwagandha?
Ashwagandha is an ancient herb of great significance in Ayurvedic medicine. Its botanical name is Withania somnifera, and it’s also known by several other names, including Indian ginseng and winter cherry. Its main uses are to treat anxiety and stress, calm the nervous system and to boost brain and immune functions, among others. It is known to be an effective nerve tonic, meaning it helps restore normal activity to an individual’s nerves. Ashwagandha is also great at fighting infection, decreasing inflammation, regulating blood sugar and lowering cortisol levels. Supplementing with ashwagandha may be an easy and effective way to improve your health and quality of life.
The Beauty of Aloe
The best beauty tools often come from nature! Using aloe vera as a skin care treatment has many benefits. It’s long been used to help relieve and heal sunburn by acting as a protective layer and replenishing moisture. Its antioxidant and nutritional properties are excellent for healing purposes. These attributes also make it a great everyday moisturizer, especially for those with oily skin. Men can use aloe vera after shaving to treat small cuts and soothe facial skin. Aloe vera’s ability to reduce inflammation is also useful to treat acne and signs of aging, as well as stretch marks.
Smell The Roses!
Spring is in the air! Wouldn’t it be great if you could smell it? Studies show that smokers lose some of their ability to smell. That can make life a lot less pleasurable. If you lose your sense of smell, you can’t appreciate the scent of spring flowers or freshly mowed lawn. Eating becomes a lot less rewarding too, since aroma contributes a great deal to the flavor of food. Life could even become more dangerous, since you may be less able to detect the odor of a gas leak or a house fire. There is some good news, however: Quit smoking and your sense of smell quickly returns.
WELLness – Thank you, Live Life Alarms
My husband is in the early stages of Alzheimers. He continues to enjoy riding his bike and I used to get very worried as he would sometimes have difficulty finding his way home. Getting him a Live Life mobile alert was the best thing we have done as now I can readily find out quickly where he is. He recently went out cycling and was gone for some time so I called him on his alert pendant. Not only could I talk with him but the Mobile Alert sent me an automatic return text showing his exact location on Google Maps. This has given me so much confidence now and allows him to continue doing what he loves. Vicki Ogston. LiveLifeAlarms.ca

Insomnia? Try Acupuncture
There’s data that suggests approximately 30% of the world’s adult population suffers from one or more indicators of insomnia: difficulty falling asleep, difficulty staying asleep, or sleep that isn’t restorative. Insomnia is so challenging to treat is that it can have multiple causes, ranging from poor sleeping habits to mental health disorders. That means that, often, a holistic approach is necessary. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, each kind of insomnia shows an imbalance of energy in a specific part of the body. The acupuncturist redirects the imbalanced flow of energy and helps to decrease anxiety, activate melatonin generation, initiate sleep, and lessen sleep disturbance and arousals at night.
