What is a Personal Foot Care Nurse?
A foot care nurse plays a vital role in maintaining overall health and well-being. Their expertise in podiatry and foot health offers numerous benefits to patients. First and foremost, they help prevent and manage a variety of foot ailments, from calluses and corns to fungal infections and diabetic ulcers. By promoting proper foot hygiene and regular check-ups, foot care nurses reduce the risk of serious complications, such as amputations for diabetic patients. Their gentle care and knowledge of foot anatomy can alleviate pain and discomfort, improving mobility and quality of life. Additionally, they educate patients on proper footwear choices and foot self-care, fostering long-term health and independence. Overall, a foot care nurse’s dedication to foot health contributes to a happier, healthier life.
Breast Cancer Awareness Month
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, dedicated to driving awareness about prevention, detection, diagnosis, and treatment options. Breast cancer is the most diagnosed cancer in women globally, and within Canada, it is the third most-commonly diagnosed cancer, accounting for 25% of all cancer diagnoses in females. As you get older, your risk of developing breast cancer increases, and women between the ages of 50 and 69 years of age are more likely to develop it. The good news is, when detected early, the chances of survival increase. Regular screening increases the chances of detecting certain cancers early, before cancer has a chance to spread.

Acupuncture for Gastrointestinal Disorders
If you’ve tried conventional medicine to keep digestive problems in check without success, consider acupuncture, a holistic health treatment without side effects. Many clinical studies show that acupuncture alters various biochemical and physiological states to treat a wide variety of gastrointestinal illnesses, like irritable bowel syndrome, Chron’s disease, gallstones, heartburn, indigestion, constipation, and diarrhea. Acupuncture helps by improving gastrointestinal motility and restoring stomach acidity to normal levels – reducing serum levels of serotonin and reducing inflammation by promoting release of vascular and immunomodulatory factors.
