Neck pain can be the result of joint wear from degenerative conditions like arthritis, nerve irritation from bone spurs or herniated discs, soft tissue strain from injuries such as whiplash, or myofascial pain syndrome referred pain. Along with options like heat and ice application, pain medication, physical therapy and stretching, etc., acupuncture can be an effective way to decrease neck pain and stiffness. This may be related to the release of endorphins, the body’s natural pain-killing chemicals, during acupuncture sessions. Acupuncture can also affect the part of the brain that controls mood, further assisting with relaxation and pain management.

Nearly 300,000 Canadians use a wheelchair to improve their mobility. However, wheelchair users often receive very little training in how to use it effectively and efficiently.

The program includes a self-managed training app along with 3 teleconference sessions with a peer trainer (an experienced wheelchair user). All training happens at home, using a computer tablet provided during the 4-week training period. The program is being offered as part of a research study, so it is entirely free for participants.

Importance of Vitamin D
With the darker winter months upon us, the sun’s rays are not strong enough for our bodies to produce sufficient Vitamin D. This is why Osteoporosis Canada recommends that most Canadian adults should take a daily vitamin D supplement. Vitamin D plays an essential role in bone health by facilitating the absorption of calcium. It also helps maintain muscles and reduce the risk of fractures caused by falls. Some studies have suggested that it may reduce the risk of certain diseases. Talk with one of our pharmacists about recommended doses or to learn more about other supplements, vitamins and minerals.
Your Annual Denturist Checkup
It’s time to plan out your 2023, and you should start with visiting your denturist! Full dentures, partial dentures, and dental implants all need the same level of care as natural teeth. If you wear dentures or have implants, it doesn’t mean you’re off the hook for maintaining great oral health. Routine checkups help prevent any major oral problems from developing and allow for planning any changes your dentures require to ensure you’re never without your teeth. With yearly checkups, your dentures and implants will continue to perform properly and your maintained oral health will mean shorter and smoother visits!
