Whiplash – Overcoming the agony of a fender bender

It’s a common sight on Canadian roads in winter: drivers losing control of their cars, sliding off the road or colliding with one another. Immediately after the bone-jarring crunch that can result from such an incident, many people think they’re fine, but may have suffered a whiplash injury.

Investing in Your Health

There is no denying that these are difficult economic times – and that many people have to budget and cut corners wherever possible. Whatever you do, don’t cut corners where your health is concerned! The economy will improve, and the last thing you need to do is make short term healthcare decisions with long-term consequences!

Making good on a New Year’s Resolution

With the arrival of 2011, many of us will make a “get into better shape” New Year’s resolution. Most of us, will then use exercise to attain our fitness and weight loss goals. While exercise can have a very positive impact on our lives, there are risks, and you really can get too much of a good thing.

Aging Boomers are out there! Can this be good for society?

More and more aging Canadian baby boomers can be seen out there doing outrageous things like running, biking, playing tennis and even riding motorcycles. This can’t be a good thing!

Bone Sense

Osteoporosis is a very common disease, affecting 1 in 4 people over the age of 50. As we age most of us should be doing more to minimize it’s impact on our quality of life.

Dizziness is a problem for many in our aging adult population.

Dizziness is a significant problem – ranking 2nd only to the lower back for frequency of complaints in the adult population.

The vestibular system, or balance system, is the sensory system that helps control our eye movements and keep us upright so we can sit, stand, and walk. When we get dizzy, it is often because something has gone wrong with our vestibular system.
