September is Arthritis Awareness Month
According to Stats Canada over 37% of Canadians over the age of 20 have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis, mainly affecting hips and knees. This is the wear and tear condition due to breakdown of cartilage between the joints leading to pain and stiffness. Along with typical Naturopathic treatments, another beneficial treatment modality is Cold Laser, which uses light wavelengths to stimulate new energy production leading to restoration of normal function by increasing blood flow, nervous stimulation, and new cell growth. These treatments are non-invasive, painless and can be done a few times a week to stimulate that healing process.

Benefits of Walk-In Tubs
As we age and begin to lose our mobility and sense of balance, bathing can not only become difficult but can also put us at risk of falls. Having a walk-in tub installed in our home can allow us to live more independently, and there are many styles and options to choose from. In addition, walk-in tubs allow us to enjoy the soothing experience of soaking in a warm bath, which can help stimulate circulation, improve sleep quality, and provide some relief from pain caused by various health conditions like arthritis, fibromyalgia, and chronic back pain.
