❄️🐾 How Cold Is Too Cold for Your Dog?🐾❄️

As the temperature drops, our pets feel the cold too, and in some cases much sooner than we expect. According to Homes Alive Pets, most dogs start to feel uncomfortable once the weather reaches around 0°C, with risks increasing as temperatures fall below freezing. Small breeds, seniors, thin-coated dogs, and pups with health conditions are especially sensitive.

A few takeaways from the article:
• Mild cold (0 to 7°C): Many dogs can handle this, but some may start to feel chilly.
• Below 0°C: Cold becomes more noticeable for most dogs and shorter walks are recommended.
• –6°C and below: Many dogs may be at risk of discomfort or even hypothermia without protection.
• –12°C and below: Extreme caution is needed because most dogs should avoid extended outdoor exposure.

Knowing your dog’s breed, coat type, age, and overall health helps you judge when it is time to suit up, shorten the walk, or stay cozy indoors.

Seriously WestJet?? Next you’ll charge just for seats !

Canadian airline WestJet is undertaking a major cabin refresh across 43 of its Boeing 737-8 MAX and 737-800 aircraft. Economy class passengers on these reconfigured planes will no longer have reclining seats, a change the airline states helps preserve personal space.

SPINAL PAIN IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS

“Almost 40% of children 19 yrs of age report having spinal pain at least once in their lifetime, and this becomes chronic or recurrent in about 25% of children and adolescents. Spinal pain during adolescence is a strong predictor of its occurrence in adulthood, making the onset of spinal pain during childhood or adolescence an important stage for prevention and early intervention.” (British Journal of Sports Medicine, 2024)

Chiropractic care can play a vital role in optimizing spinal health and function from childhood and throughout life. Just like we go to the dentist for regular check-ups to keep our teeth healthy and for prevention of dental problems, the same applies to chiropractic care in helping keep our spine healthy and for prevention of spinal problems including many back and neck issues. Regular chiropractic care keeps our spine moving well which improves the health of joints and discs along the spine, optimizes posture and alignment, and improves neuromuscular control around the spine for better stability and prevention of injury. The spinal cord (part of the central nervous system) runs through the spinal column, so how our spine functions affects how nerves send signal to our body tissues including all muscles of the body. We are born with only one spine, and we can’t replace it like a knee or hip. So its important we take good care of our spine from childhood and throughout our lifetime.

THE BENEFITS OF CHIROPRACTIC CARE FOR HEADACHES.
59% of adults in Canada report some form of headache. Within this population, 30% suffer from tension-type headaches and 17% suffer from some form of migraine. The World Health Organization reports that headache disorders are among the most common disorders of the nervous system. Although a variety of medications may help manage pain, they often only temporarily mask the pain without addressing the underlying cause. Research has demonstrated the effectiveness of chiropractic care in the prevention and treatment of headaches, which are one of the most common reasons someone visits a chiropractor.

Tension-type headaches are associated with increased muscular tension and vertebral misalignment in the neck and upper back regions of the spine, often leading to changes in normal posture and movement as a means to compensate for the pain. Chiropractic care provides relief from tension-type headaches by improving the alignment and movement of the spine which helps to relax muscular tension and reduce nerve irritation.

Migraines arise from sudden dilation of blood vessels in the head. The exact cause of migraines is not known. However, migraines have many triggers such as: hormonal changes, foods, smells, weather changes, etc. Studies have shown that chiropractic can play an important role in the prevention and treatment of migraines. Nerves control vascular tension (pressure in the blood vessels) and chiropractic treatment helps to normalize or improve nerve function by reducing irritation of the nervous system. This can help improve blood flow and provide relief from pain and other symptoms associated with migraines.

For more information of the various types of headaches and how chiropractic can help, contact Dr. Lori Batch at Southview Chiropractic (905-951-9355). Be sure to visit our website at www.southviewchiropractic.com and follow us on Facebook and Instagram.
