Fighting the Flame: Inflammation
9th April
Dr. M Fayad
Inflammation is part of the body’s response to infection and tissue damage, and it is crucial to the healing process. It is the basic mechanism of your immune system, but conversely, when inflammation is chronic and uncontrolled it can lead to the development of arthritis, heart disease, stroke and diabetes. When your body is stuck in inflammatory response mode it is constantly trying to fight potentially harmful substances in the body, which severely taxes it, making the perfect environment for disease to take hold.

So how can you prevent inflammation from taking over your body? All of the experts agree that diet is a major contributing factor. Avoid foods that contribute to inflammation including red meat and highly refined foods like white flour and sugar. Eat as many anti-inflammatory foods as possible.

Deep Tissue Laser Therapy
Deep Tissue Laser Therapy
Deep tissue laser therapy (DTLT) requires the use of a class IV laser, which is primarily used for scientific, industrial, military, and medical purposes. Treatment with laser therapy became widely popular in the 1970’s for the treatment of pain and it has since been utilized globally by doctors, chiropractors, physical therapists, nurses and even veterinarians. In June of 2011, Health Canada approved the use of high power lasers, which are able to penetrate deeply into the tissues of our bodies.
DTLT is the non-invasive, drug-free, and surgery-free use of laser energy to generate response in damaged/dysfunctional tissue, it delivers deep penetrating energy to bring about profound physiological changes. DTLT energizes the cells of our bodies and increases circulation to promote the healing process in our tissues. It also alleviates pain, and helps to accelerate … Read More »
The Weekend Warrior Athlete
8th July
When talking about the vast majority of athletes, we’re looking at a lot of weekend warriors. These are individuals who are kept inactive during the week due to work and make it up tenfold on the weekends. All too often this leads to Monday mornings full of aches and pains. A large amount of research and time has been put into the care of elite athletes, but the everyday athlete gets left behind. Luckily, a lot of what is done for professionals translates directly to recreational athletes. A key step that is often missed is a proper warm up. A typical warm up at a hockey game is a few laps and some shots on net, while at golf were lucky to get a couple shots in at the range before that first drive. When we go into an … Read More »
