Here’s some tips from your local Chiropractor and Physiotherapist for dealing with COVID stress.

Mind

Meditate.Meditation can help reduce and manage stress, helps you focus on the present, clears your mind and declutters your thoughts. You will be able to make better decisions when your mind is clear of distractions.How to meditate effectively has been a lifelong pursuit for us. It's not just about clearing your mind of everyday worries and Latency - it's about expanding your consciousness, becoming more aware and aware. Meditation is not about just focusing on a single thought - though that is very important. It's about opening your mind to new levels of awareness. As you become more aware, you will naturally become more skilled at making better decisions - both in your daily life and in situations that may seem outside of your control.


Body


Self - Care. Use this time to take care of those health problems you have been holding off. Exercise. Do your rehab exercises. Eat healthier. You only have one body so take care of it

. Sleep is the most important thing for your mental health. Use that time to get a good night’s rest and embrace the day as a new opportunity to live life to its fullest. Take care of yourself physically, eat right and exercise regularly because it will improve your health 24/7.Magnesium supplements have been found to be beneficial in reducing stress and anxiety by supporting the nervous system. Make sure you consult with a health practitioner to see if supplementing minerals is right for you.


Soul


Spend more time doing the things you love, but never had the time to do. Feed your soul by reading a book, listen to a podcast, pick up a new/old hobby or learn a new language. It’s common in this day and age to work to the point of exhaustion and always needing to control every aspect of our lives that we forget to live it.

Children's Podiatry: A Guide for Parents

Podiatry is a branch of medicine that deals with diagnosing and treating disorders of the feet and lower limbs. A podiatrist (also known as a chiropodist) is a healthcare professional who specialises in this field. Podiatry is a relatively new branch of medicine, only emerging as a distinct profession in the early 20th century. However, the field has grown rapidly in recent years, owing to increasing awareness of the importance of foot health. Today, podiatrists play an important role in keeping people mobile and active. They often treat conditions such as bunions, heel pain, ingrown toenails and Achilles tendonitis. In addition, they can provide advice on footwear and foot care for people with diabetes or other medical conditions that put them at risk of foot problems.‍

Why does dry needling hurt?

Dry needling is a type of therapy that involves inserting thin needles into the skin and muscles. The needles are usually made of stainless steel and are very thin, so they cause minimal pain when inserted. However, some people report feeling a brief, sharp pain when the needle enters the skin. There are several theories as to why dry needling causes this pain. One theory is that the needles stimulate nerve endings in the skin and muscles, which triggers a pain response. Another theory is that dry needling causes a release of chemicals called cytokines, which can increase pain sensitivity. It’s important to note that while dry needling may cause some discomfort, it is generally not considered painful. Many people find relief from their chronic pain after undergoing dry needling therapy.

Syndesmosis Injury: How to prevent and recover

A syndesmosis injury is a serious condition that can occur when the bones in the ankle joint are not properly aligned. This can happen when the foot is planted awkwardly, or the ankle is twisted. If not treated properly, a syndesmosis injury can lead to long-term problems. There are two main types of syndesmosis injuries: anterolateral and posterior. Anterolateral injuries are more common when the foot is planted awkwardly on an uneven surface. Posterior injuries are less common and occur when the ankle is twisted. If you think you have a syndesmosis injury, it is important to see a doctor right away. Treatment will vary depending on the severity of the injury but may include rest, ice, elevation, and immobilization. Surgery may also be necessary in some cases.
