Low testosterone levels include tiredness, decreased libido, erectile dysfunction and difficulty conceiving. Medications such as steroids and anticonvulsants can decrease hormone levels but testosterone levels also naturally decrease with age. If you or believe a loved one is experience low testosterone, it is important that a doctor is consulted to seek next steps including testosterone replacement therapy in the form of an injection, skin patch or topical gel.

As an organization focused on providing unique, exceptional life wellness services, we combine the centuries old discipline of acupuncture with the technology of today in an effort to help teach your body to heal itself. Using a combination of bio-electric and light therapy devices, your Practitioner stimulates trigger points in the body originally identified through traditional acupuncture. Our protocols can help mitigate the impact of a variety of conditions and addictions – whether it is smoking, drinking, drugs, sugar or even gambling, plus anxiety or depression, even tinnitus and vertigo.

We’ve had a long wet winter and spring and maybe you, like many others, have been more sedentary than usual. With summer almost here, it’s time to get outside and soak up that sunshine and build up your resilience and fitness. Is that cranky hip, knee or low back stopping you? Maybe, a whole body assessment is in order to see what can be done, or what you can do, to help your knee or back more? All our past injuries leave imprints and when they are treated collectively, amazing things can happen! Check out this link to an approach to a whole body assessment and treatment and if this suits, give us a call and let’s get you active this summer. https://dianeleephysio.com/services/physiotherapy/the-integrated-systems-model/
