Greetings!

Bring on Summer!

As Canadians, we put up with a lot (weather-wise) until summer finally arrives.  This winter and spring, we've been hit with a lot of snow, rain, wind, cold and just nasty stuff from Mother Nature.  But the forecast seems to be a nice reward for our pain --- a long, hot, dry summer!  I guess we'll see if the meteorologists are right this time.

I'm planning on taking a few long weekends myself during the summer to enjoy the weather.  I hope you'll all get a chance to do something fun this summer, and I hope you'll have a chance to drop by for a summer adjustment and share what you've been up to.

Enjoy!

Dr. Maya

June is National Migraine Awareness Month
The following information may be useful to you if you suffer from headaches.  It comes from a great website National Headache Foundation www.headaches.org

Did You Know...?

headache

  • Migraines are the most common type of headache associated with patient hospital stays.   
  • Most migraine sufferers can't function normally when a migraine strikes, and some people require bed rest.
  • It is common for migraine sufferers to not participate in family or social activities due to a migraine.
  • Every day approximately 430,000 people in the US are unable to work due to migraines.
  • Billions of dollars are lost per by businesses in the US due to absenteeism, lost productivity.  
Keeping a diary of your migraines will provide a great deal of helpful information to you and your healthcare provider.  If you suffer from migraines, download a copy of the Migraine Diary from www.lowerthepain.com and complete it whenever you experience a migraine (or have a family member complete it for you).  Bring this information with you when you seek treatment.  It will give the details that you may have forgotten and help your healthcare professional prescribe the right treatment.

Chiropractic treatment is an effective method of dealing with migraines.  Call and speak to Dr. Maya if you think chiropractic could help your migraine problem.
