An unfortunate second round of wildfire evacuations for our province. Once again we are collecting donations for the evacuees - drop off any items from the list below before July 23 to our clinic.

Most in demand items are toiletries and baby products, but truly anything listed helps.

Thank you for partnering with us to help those in need!

November is Fall Prevention Month 🤕

By assessing balance, strength, and overall musculoskeletal function, chiropractors play a valuable role in fall prevention with treatments tailored to keep you on your feet. Education, strengthening, and optimizing how your body is moving with hands-on care or modalities all play a role in keeping you upright.

However, this is just one piece of the puzzle - other important aspects of fall prevention include:
- reviewing your medications with your family physician / pharmacist. Some medications can cause dizziness and weakness, which can affect your balance and perception.
- Have your vision and hearing checked regularly.

❄️ Achilles Exercises ❄️

Preventative strengthening for our running winter warriors is here. As discussed previously, cold weather is a risk factor for injury to the Achilles tendon so strengthening is of utmost importance in this season. Here are a few strengthening exercises you can perform to increase the load tolerance of your Achilles, helping to decrease injury risk!

The exercises are as follows:
- Seated calf raises, weighted
- Step ups (top leg stationary to really propel yourself up & forward)
- Squat to double calf raise

Perform 12-15 repetitions of each exercise (per side if applicable) for 2-3 sets, twice a week! Grab your training partner (human or canine) and get started today 🐶

Running through the winter? (P)rehab your Achilles tendon now!

Fire up your Achilles, runners... winter is here! Winter running places new, different loads on the body - and our tendons can be slow to adapt. If you're planning on winter running this year, or will be training for the Hypothermic Half Marathon or the Winnipeg Police Services races later this season, do yourself a favour and do some strengthening now to prevent injury later.

Injury to the Achilles tendon is a more common one with winter running, as risk factors for injury to this tendon include cold weather training. Achilles tendinopathy is considered an overuse injury, meaning the body was subject to higher demands than it was used to and was unable to recover fully - this can occur with an increase in mileage, higher intensity sessions, or running through Winnipeg's unplowed streets in the winter.

Why does this occur more in winter? The sheath around the tendon has a fluid in its membrane for allowing the tendon to glide more freely; the fluid becomes thicker/more viscous in cold temperatures and increases friction on the midportion of the Achilles tendon - causing excess chronic stress on the tendon, manifesting as decreased range of motion, less strength, and/or pain with activities even as simple as walking.

Stay tuned for the next post with preventative strengthening exercises.
