What is Vibroacoustic Therapy?
Vibroacoustic therapy, a unique form of treatment, combines the benefits of sound and vibration to promote relaxation and healing. By delivering low-frequency vibrations through specialized equipment, it stimulates the body’s sensory receptors and encourages a deep sense of relaxation. The vibrations have been found to reduce muscle tension, alleviate pain, and improve circulation. This therapy also utilizes soothing music or sound frequencies to enhance the therapeutic experience. It has shown promise in various conditions, including stress, anxiety, chronic pain, and sleep disorders. Vibroacoustic therapy offers a non-invasive and drug-free approach to wellness, harnessing the power of sound and vibration to promote physical and mental well-being.

Acupuncture Benefits for Men’s Health
Around 72% of Canadian men engage in unhealthy habits, increasing their susceptibility to chronic diseases. Men generally pay less attention to their well-being compared to women, exhibiting higher rates of alcohol and tobacco use, risky behavior, and neglecting regular checkups. Men face common ailments like heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and depression, along with unique challenges such as prostate cancer. Adopting a healthy lifestyle, including exercise, a balanced diet, abstinence from smoking, stress management, and lowering alcohol consumption, can mitigate many health risks. Acupuncture has proven beneficial for supporting the prostate, addressing stress levels, reducing blood pressure, and providing overall physical and emotional support.
Consistency and Caregiving

Are You A Mosquito Magnet?
Did you ever wonder why some people are mosquito magnets, while others are hardly bothered? One theory is based on the fact that your skin is a source of elimination. Eat too much garlic, and it will literally come through your pores. If sugars are not metabolized properly, the byproducts must be eliminated, and one of those pathways is the skin. It is believed that mosquitos are attracted to the excess metabolized sugar. Vitamin B1 is known to help the body burn sugars more efficiently, thereby reducing excess sugar coming out of the pores, and your skin from attracting mosquitos. Nutritional testing can reveal if you are lacking B1 and other essential nutrients that are making you a mosquito magnet.
Importance of Strength Training Over 40
Are you over 40 and ready to get into the best shape of your life? Regular strength training exercises help counteract age-related muscle loss and maintain muscle mass. Incorporating resistance training, such as weightlifting or bodyweight exercises, stimulates muscle growth and strength. It’s crucial to focus on progressive overload, gradually increasing the intensity and challenge of workouts. Adequate protein intake is also vital for muscle repair and growth. Additionally, prioritizing recovery through proper sleep, nutrition, and rest days is essential for optimal muscle development. With consistency and a well-designed exercise program, building muscle after 40 is achievable and can enhance physical performance and quality of life.

Osteoporosis & Bone Fracture Risk
Fractures can be the first sign of osteoporosis and can lead to more fractures. Most occur in the hip, spine, shoulder, or wrist. Spine fractures may not be painful but can cause height loss or a rounded back. If you’ve had a fracture, you’re at high risk for another. A spine or hip fracture greatly increases this risk and requires osteoporosis treatment. Broken hips are especially serious for older individuals, often resulting in disability. 22% of women and 33% of men who suffer a hip fracture die within a year. (osteoporosis.ca) Fractures after age 40 may require a bone density test and risk assessment. Find out if you are at risk by either having the scan in our office or in the comfort of your home.
