Foot Care for Seniors
It’s important for seniors to keep their feet in good condition so they can remain mobile. There are several things you can do to keep your feet feeling their best. Ensure that you wear good quality running shoes or shoes that are specifically designed for walking. Have your foot care professional treat your corns, callouses, and ingrown nails, as well as evaluate your foot mechanics for any structural imbalances. Gentle exercises and stretching of your feet and legs can reduce tightness, improve mobility and flexibility, and increase circulation. Finally, get involved in a walking program to keep you moving!
Sympathetic Resonance Technology™
The Science of Resonance. Every material object and living thing has a natural resonance frequency determined by its physical structure. When exposed to external frequencies matching its unique resonance, an object becomes stronger, more stable, and its natural energies more coherent. This applies to humans as well; we sense and experience this energy in moments of relaxation, focus, and connection with nature or loved ones. Q-Link® products, featuring Sympathetic Resonance Technology™ (SRT™), reinforce the body’s resonance, returning it to a balanced state. SRT™ has shown effectiveness in numerous studies and has garnered positive feedback from users over three decades.
Chiropractic Care for Arthritis
Chiropractic adjustments can be effective in relieving arthritis symptoms by improving joint mobility and reducing inflammation. Through gentle, precise movements, chiropractors can realign the spine and affected joints, which helps to decrease pain and stiffness commonly associated with arthritis. This realignment also enhances blood flow and nerve function, promoting natural healing processes. Additionally, regular adjustments can help maintain or increase the range of motion, allowing for more flexible and pain-free movement. When combined with soft tissue therapy, these treatments can further reduce muscle tension and support joint health, providing comprehensive drug-free relief from arthritis.
The Importance of RSV Vaccines
The RSV vaccine protects against Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), a common virus that can lead to severe respiratory issues like bronchiolitis and pneumonia, especially in infants and older adults.
Who Should Get Vaccinated?
Adults 75+: Particularly those at higher risk of severe RSV.
Adults 60+: Especially residents of nursing homes or chronic care facilities.
Pregnant Individuals (32-36 weeks): To protect newborns from RSV.
Approved vaccines include AREXVY and ABRYSVO. Consult your healthcare provider to see if the RSV vaccine is right for you.
The RSV vaccine is not currently publicly funded in BC, but some private health insurance plans may cover the cost. If you’re considering the vaccine, our pharmacy team is here to help. Feel free to reach out to us with any questions or for more information on coverage options.

Air Pollution from Forest Fires
Canada experiences up to 8,000 wildfires per year, producing vast amounts of smoke that can travel hundreds of kilometers, affecting millions. Forest fire pollution includes particulate matter (PM2.5), carbon monoxide, atmospheric mercury, ozone-forming chemicals, and volatile organic compounds. Wildfire smoke, a mix of PM2.5 and gases, poses severe health risks, obstructing oxygen intake, irritating the respiratory system, and causing inflammation. Symptoms include eye irritation, coughing, and headaches; severe cases require medical attention for breathlessness or chest pain. PM2.5 particles are particularly concerning as they penetrate deep into the lungs, increasing mortality risk and exacerbating respiratory and cardiovascular diseases.
