#repost : @dr.rickparisien VERTIGO & DIZZINESS Have you ever had a false sense of the room or yourself spinning? You likely experienced something called vertigo.... The most common type of vertigo (10% of people will have it by the age of 80) is BPPV, short for Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo. Benign - you’re not dying Paroxysmal - lasts 20-30 seconds Positional - initiated by movement Vertigo So how do you manage BPPV? Once the diagnosis of BPPV has been confirmed and other causes of dizziness have been ruled out, any individual trained in the Epley Maneuver (your chiropractor) can likely provide a helping hand!

Thanks to @unbalumni for featuring me in their Alumni News! It was an honour to be recognized and to have chatted with you guys. My time at @kin_unb truly paved my way into the chiropractic profession!

Being in a bubble with you isn’t so bad! #grateful

Thank you to the Chiropractic + Naturopathic Doctor magazine for featuring us female practitioners on the cover! We were asked to be featured together and were given the opportunity to chat about what it is like to be a female health care provider! We were able to discues how females and males differ in terms of practice styles depending on our size, certain safety issues that we may face that male practioners wouldn't and what it is like to be a female entrepreneur and business owner. It was a very empowering experience!

Did you know the road to recovery starts with proper education? Regardless of the profession, education is to achieving long term outcomes. Today’s Chi...ropractors not only undergo a 4-year University undergraduate degree , but complete an additional 4-year Doctor of Chiropractic degree afterwards consisting of 4,200 hours of evidence-informed course work (including anatomy, biomechanics, neurology, rehabilitation, pathology, radiology, histology, and biochemistry to name a few..) and a 12 month clinical internship When it comes to receiving reliable and accurate information about your health, chiropractic can help.

This weekend I received New Brunswick Chiropractors Recent Graduate Award! This award goes to somebody who shows early dedication and commitment to the chiropractic profession. It’s an honour to be recognized for my community outreaches, for dedicating time providing New Brunswick athletes with sideline coverage and most... importantly helping the people of Southern New Brunswick, move better through Chiropractic care! Although our AGM didn’t happen in person this year it was special to receive the award from former NBCA President Dr. Norm Skjonsberg! See more

If you are a patient of mine you know this couldn’t be further from the truth. My goal is to try to get you feeling better and give you the tools you need so that you can help yourself out. Whether it be a certain rehab tool or through exercises and movement prescription! Usually I start with seeing my patients 1-2 times a week for the first few weeks then my goal is to try to space the treatments out as far as we can while still seeing improvement in pain reduction and function! If you don’t want to continue to come back, you do not have to! #mythbusted

Bobby’s Hospice means a lot to the Align Family as Tara’s dad Larry Jackson spent his last week there before passing away in July 2013. Since 2013 Larry Jackso...n’s Spirit team has raised over $70,000 for Bobby’s Hospice through the Memorial Walk held in September. Bobby’s Hospice is a community palliative care facility in the west side of Saint John. The government provides 33% of the annual funding needed to deliver care. The remainder must come from the community through fundraising. We are very fortunate to have this amazing facility in our city where their goal is to make each person’s last weeks or months of life as comfortable as possible while supporting families to be together and say goodbye. This year there is a virtual walk and the Align team is back collecting donations. Each person that makes a donation will be put in a draw for one of 3 prizes; Complimentary Osteopathy, Chiropractor and Massage therapy treatment. If you would like to make a donation to Hospice please let us know by emailing [email protected]. We appreciate your support!

What day is it again?! Here are 3 tricks that I use to try to keep myself on track during these uncertain times. 1.Differentiate the workweek and the weekend.... Once 3pm on Friday rolls around unplug from emails and work related activities Order take-out from a favourite restaurant on Friday or Saturday #shoplocal Allow yourself to rest and relax without feeling shame (this is a hard one for me) Treat yourself to a few treats 2.Try to go to bed and wake up at similar times that you would if you were working This helps with circadian rhythm and will be much easier on your body when we are back to work 3.Last but not least- everyNIGHT try to make a to-do list for the NEXT day this will give you motivation to get out of bed and crush those goals!
