Ice vs Heat for an Injury

Ice vs Heat for an Injury

In this video, Dr. Gabrielle Soucy explains the different situations in which you apply ice vs when you apply heat to an injury. It is important to note that if you are in an emergency situation, please call 911 immediately.

What to apply? That depends on the injury

We would like to talk to you about when to apply ice versus when to apply heat. So, a rule of thumb is if you get a fresh injury, make sure that it is cleaned, and immediately put some ice on for at least 5 to 10 minutes, take the cold off for 15 minutes, and then repeat. If you have maybe a sore muscle or a muscle ache, then you can apply heat for around 15 minutes to help with muscle flexibility.

Our recommendation for you

Right now, it is soccer season so we know a lot of kids that might be getting an injury out there and the Dynarex Instant Cold Packs are really great and those are the ones that we use at our clinic. Parents can have them in the car and you just squeeze them, shake them, and they last for about 5 minutes. For this reason, these instant cold packs are very convenient for immediate care for unexpected bruising or strains. Of course, if you’re concerned about the extent of your injury, please consult a physician or a doctor. Don’t forget that we are always here to help, so do not hesitate to reach out to us!

For more information or if you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact us or visit our clinic at the Mill Creek location in Washington State.

Candida Weight Loss

Candida Weight Loss

Are you trying your best and still can’t seem to loose the weight? There may be a very simple explanation!

In this video, Dr. Gabrielle at Amazing Life Chiropractic and Wellness explains that there may be a hidden reason why someone may not be able to loose weight. Through the Candida Program, you may be able to shed inches naturally by restoring the balance in your gut.

This video also includes testimonials at the end from patients who have been through this program and share their personal experiences.

Whats the Issue?

Have you met these type of people where they eat everything that’s just right, they seem to work out all the time, and they still can’t lose the weight? Well a lot of time the issue is actually a yeast called Candida. So, Candida in the gut will actually produce a small film over the intestine lining and, therefore, when you’re eating, you actually can’t absorb most of the nutrients so your body goes into starvation-mode. When you’re in starvation-mode, your body will actually retain fat and pack it onto your abdomen, your buttocks, and your thigh area.

Symptoms of Candida

We do assessments here at the clinic to see if you have Candida. If you do have Candida, we have programs that can help you. A lot of side effects of Candida include, not just weight gain, but also headaches it can cause insomnia, it could cause a lot of congestion around the sinuses, and you can even get eczema or psoriasis on your skin.

Choosing the Right Orthotics

Choosing the Right Orthotics

Every orthotic needs to contain these 4 key elements. In this video, Dr. Sergey Kochelayev from Amazing Life Chiropractic and Wellness explains the benefits of custom orthotics. A good pair of orthotics may be able to completely change your life.

Four Key Points

First and foremost, your insert has to be custom. There’s just no way around it! More specifically, we’re not talking about going to your local retail store and just getting one of the five or six that are pre-made, we are truly talking about custom to you. If it doesn’t fit properly to you – how can it help?

Second of all, your orthotic has to be dynamic. What we mean, it has to bend nice and easy. For example, when you walk, your foot is dynamic; it moves, it bends and so does your shoe, so does your insert. Thus, your custom orthotic should be doing the same.

The third thing you should be looking for is support for the arches of your feet, which you actually have three of. Everybody knows the inside arch, but there’s also one going across your foot following your toes, one going down the length of your foot on the outside. If you’re missing one of those arches, its like having a tripod and with only two of the legs. Not very stable!

And lastly, we’re looking for a little bit of padding under the heel of your foot, which will give you additional comfort and support.

We recommend company called FootLevelers that we work with in our office. Their orthotics have a great warranty and all of the four key points we’re looking for in orthotics to be able to effectively support our skeletal system and reduce back, shoulder, hip, knee, and neck pain.

Not all supplements are created equal

Not all supplements are created equal

If you have no idea what you are looking at in this picture, let me help you. Those are undigested supplements in the colon. What does that mean? Well, I’m glad you are interested. Simply, you spent your hard-earned money on supplements that were supposed to help you when instead they are indigestible because the manufacturers were more focused on making a good profit than a great digestible product. We can safely say that these supplements that you see on the x-ray, are not of any benefit to this person at all. They go in one end and leave from the other still fully intact. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to differ you from supplements, but not all of the supplement are created equally.

When we purchase supplements and vitamins for our patients, I look for the following: purity, quality, potency, dissolvability, etc. How do we find this? We do an extensive research: visit the manufacturers’ warehouse; figure out where they get their herbs and materials; how they control the quality of these ingredients and what is the company’s standards when making their products.

We know that for the most people it would be impossible to do such extensive research before buying supplements, so here are a few rules of thumb to follow. If possible, buy the supplements from a provider (doctor, chiropractor, naturopath, acupuncturist, etc.). If that is not possible, try to find a local vitamin shop with knowledgeable workers. Those stores in comparison with Walmart, Target or GNC, will carry a much higher grade product. Always choose capsules over tablets, because tablets have to be held together by fillers (15-40% of tablets are fillers while capsules are 97-100% of the product). And lastly, for the best way to know if you will be digesting your supplements, the capsules should dissolve very quickly when mixed with saliva 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Don’t be afraid to test it out by breaking open a capsule and putting the empty shell in your mouth. It should dissolve very quickly!
