Business name drop 🚨, surprisingly difficult to come up with a name and logo for a business. It seems like no matter what you come up with, someone doesn’t like it 😆

Anyways, Forward Health & Vitality is a clinic that will be focused predominantly on the application of Chinese herbal medicine for such things as chronic digestive, menstrual, and pain conditions. Acupuncture will be used on a as needed basis.

I am very much a herbalist at heart, and I believe Chinese herbal medicine is the under-utilized powerhouse of TCM here in the West. Offering incredible solutions to many chronic health challenges.

At Forward Health & Vitality, care will be structured, comprehensive, and of the highest quality to ensure real, long-term change to your condition.

My website, booking, and location are almost complete. Keep an eye out for updates if you live in the Lethbridge area.

A man in his 70s came to me after a fall on an outstretched arm. He had been in severe shoulder pain for over a month and had been to the emergency room, where an examination revealed bruising, however a scan of the joint did not reveal any fractures or tears.

He had very limited range of motion, pain when using the arm, and was not able to sleep because when he would lay down, the pain from the injury was severe and prevented him from sleeping.

I treated him for 10 sessions of acupuncture and prescribed several formulas over the course of a month and a half. He would come for acupuncture twice per week. The result was a complete resolution of his pain, significantly improved range of motion, and restful sleep undisturbed by pain.

This is the result of what happens when you stay consistent with treatment and trust the process. Acupuncture is a cumulative effect, and for something like this twice per week treatment is the minimum amount required.

If you suffer from chronic pain, please give my account a follow to stay up to date of my Lethbridge clinic opening, where I’ll be focusing on the treatment of chronic pain.

If your favourite things to eat consist of cold, greasy, uncooked, or overly sweet foods and all of a sudden you start to develop an intolerance for them, it’s not random. Your digestive system is asking for support.

In Chinese medicine these foods produce dampness and phlegm, which overwhelms the digestive tract and create stagnation. Initially you may not have any symptoms, but over time you start to develop food intolerances, fatigue, and bloating.

So what can you do? For starters, cut those foods completely out of your diet and focus on warm, cooked, whole foods. Go on walks after dinner, and avoid overeating. You can massage acupressure points such as ST-36 as well.

We’re sold a lot of BS about our health that simply isn’t true. So many patients come to Chinese medicine practitioners after being dismissed by their primary care physician. They’re told “it’s all in your head” or “your symptoms are normal.”

So why is Chinese medicine often the medicine that ends up finally helping these patients? Well it’s because we look at your condition from a completely different medical framework. Which allows us to treat it from a very unique perspective.

We’re the “last doctor you should have seen first” in many instances. So if you’ve been dismissed by conventional medicine I invite you to follow my page to learn more about how Chinese medicine can be apart of your health journey.
