A short read for some of you who have never been to a chiropractor...If you aren't sure about something, ask questions!

Some more new information about how the sugar industry misled us many years ago regarding the effect of sugar on heart disease, all in the name of self interest.

“This is continuing to build the case that the sugar industry has a long history of manipulating science,” one of the investigation’s authors said.

1 week late but super proud of my minor midget Sting team for their win last weekend in Rochester. Now on to Fort Erie next weekend!

A couple key points from this article for me are that our perception of fat has been falsely created over the past 50 years and the healthiest choices are to eat REAL unprocessed foods. When you go to the grocery store, stay out of the centre aisles...

The sugar industry began funding research that cast doubt on sugar's role in heart disease -- in part by pointing the finger at fat -- as early as the 1960s, according to an analysis of newly uncovered documents.

Good luck to this guy at his upcoming NHL development camp in Buffalo. He's worked hard this off season and I'm looking forward to seeing him in action this year!

Government support for enhanced concussion awareness and treatment is long overdue in Ontario. Every jurisdiction in the US presently has concussion related legislation, time for us to catch up.

Join us as the family and friends of Rowan Stringer launch an Ontario wide campaign to support Rowan’s Law, an initiative by Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod.

To adjust or not adjust, this is an important discussion I have had with a number of colleagues and the opinions often vary. The answer I get from practitioners who have been in practice a number of years is always yes. It seems the research is also in agreement. There is always some level of risk of worsening of symptoms associated with treatment but it seems the research is saying the risk is extremely low (0-2.5%), especially when compared to other treatment options such as nerve root injections (4-6%) and surgery. Another great treatment tool with extremely low risk is acupuncture, something I have had great success with both lumbar and cervical disc herniation patients!

The management of disc herniations, both in the neck and low-back, is controversial. Surgical care is generally reserved for patients with chronic, debilitating leg dominant pain with MRI confirmation of the disc herniation impinging on the affected nerve. Even in these cases a trial of conservative…

New shirts are in so we thought we should finally take a picture. For those of you who don't know, I started working part time hours as a chiropractor at The Capital in early January. Great facility, great owners (3 funny looking dudes in the pic) and great community of members and patients. The location is in the south east part of the city, so if you're in that area and looking for chiropractic care or a new place to start moving better, come check us out!

Some more solid research coming out that shows why we should all be eating whole eggs instead of nutrient deficient egg whites. Our bodies have an efficient system in place to help us monitor and control the amount of cholesterol in our system, whether we make it or eat it! Having said that, this system works best if we control certain variables other than the amount of cholesterol we intake, such as our weight and activity level and avoid other risk factors such as smoking and excessive alcohol consumption.

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/02/160211083044.htm

A new study shows that a relatively high intake of dietary cholesterol, or eating one egg every day, are not associated with an elevated risk of incident coronary heart disease. Furthermore, no association was found among those with the APOE4 phenotype, which affects cholesterol metabolism and is co…
