Vitamin D, produced by the body in response to sunlight, is a key hormone whose deficiency has been implicated in over 100 diseases. From October to April, low “D” levels are very common in Canada as the sun is too low in the sky is to stimulate Vitamin D. Getting “D” from your diet is difficult, so supplementation makes sense. Even better is to get your “D” from light – either a quick trip to the sun – or stopping by and using the Solius booth at the Wellness Garage. Solius stimulate 10x more Vitamin D with 100x less UV energy, making it a safe and natural way to get your “D”.

The human body is an electrical being and the health of it depends on the energy currents that run through it. When the body suffers a trauma (sprain, fatigue, infection, etc.), it encapsulates itself in some manner for healing purposes (inflammation, swelling, spasm, etc.). Normally free-flowing currents are disrupted and will circumvent the area of trauma and travel around it. This happens because electrical currents always take the path of least resistance (best conduction), so the flow of electricity in the traumatized area is significantly reduced. Enhanced micro-current treatment applied appropriately to the involved tissues or organ pathways can restore and recover optimal self-regulation functions.

Students who struggle at school often feel held back, defeated and discouraged. If they are able to get to the root of their learning difficulties by strengthening and growing their brain pathways, school becomes less tiring and challenging. Students start to take risks with learning as now, when they try, they are actually able to succeed! Feeling empowered in this way enables students to start making future plans and to believe that such plans will actually come to fruition. They are able to see how their efforts can manifest into things they might have never thought were possible!

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is commonly seen in sports such as soccer, rugby, and skiing. Although many individuals initially recover well, the ongoing instability often prevents return to sports and leads to further knee injury, and the risk of developing future osteoarthritis becomes increased. Bracing is rarely sufficient. Surgical reconstruction performed early, within 3-6 weeks, helps to minimize the risk of further injury. ACL surgery should be treated as an urgent matter: assessment, diagnosis, and surgery can usually be completed within a few weeks. The athlete, elite, or weekend-warrior can then start early rehabilitation to maximize the benefits of the knee reconstruction.

We have all experienced pain at some point during our life. But there are some people for whom pain is a daily burden that doesn’t seem to go away. For those people, it is important to find a practitioner who has extensive experience in assessing and treating acute and chronic pain conditions. It doesn’t matter if your pain is from joints, muscles, nerves, organs, emotional trauma, or even an unknown origin, there is almost always something that can be done to decrease or remove the pain. Get a thorough assessment that can uncover previously overlooked or misunderstood aspects contributing to your problem.

Total knee replacement is the most definitive treatment for advanced osteoarthritis. This procedure is typically done in a hospital setting, with 3-5 days of hospital stay. In recent years, it has become clear that healthy individuals can be discharged from the hospital on the day of their surgery, to safely and conveniently recover at home. Having surgery done at a medical centre provides a welcome alternative to hospitals. This can help reduce complications associated with hospitalization, and for many patients, the convenience and comfort of being at home with family is much preferred over the rustle and bustle of a busy surgical ward.

State-of-the-art cold laser therapy is a three-step process, each using a different wavelength of light. The first step uses a red light pad, which gets absorbed by the skin cells and underlying superficial layers of muscle. The second step uses an infrared light pad, reaching deeper into the muscle layers, as well as the tendons and ligaments. The third step includes an infrared laser wand that is placed specifically on the affected areas by a trained laser therapist. It’s very concentrated and targets the deepest affected structures, stimulating healing in and around affected ligaments, cartilage, joints, and even bone.

When students who have learning difficulties have access to specialty learning programs outside of school, their brain networks are often strengthened and they become more aware of how their actions affect others. During their time in specialty learning programs, these students experience increased networking in the brain, which helps them better develop areas in the brain that are related to the ability to feel empathy and understand others’ perspectives. Many students with learning difficulties have also experienced bullying in the past, and with their strengthened empathy and understanding, they are able to help others who are going through similar struggles.
