  • Lower Back Pain Caused From Inactivity and Muscle Weakness " Bill is a 37-year-old ad executive who travels a lot on planes "

    Bill is a 37-year-old ad executive who travels a lot on planes. He has little time to exercise except on weekends and sometimes when the hotel has a gym. Bill has been complaining about a sore lower back and tail bone for about 6 weeks. Bill was referred by his family doctor to a Kinesiologist or a personal trainer to strengthen his lower back muscles, gluteal muscles and loosen his quadriceps. The doctor also noticed that his hamstrings appeared very tight and were likely very weak due to all of the sitting.

    Bill did see a kinesiologist who helped him work on strengthening his hamstrings and low back muscles. He also recommended that Bill see a physiotherapist or a chiropractor to check joint mobility and a massage therapist to help loosen his psoas and hip flexors. Yoga was also recommended in order to help Bill get into a regular stretching routine. If the pain did not diminish after approximately 3 months it was recommended he get an MRI on his spine to ensure there were no other abnormalities.

  • Weight Loss Tips " Mary a 42 year old lawyer referred by her family physician for an exercise program"

    Mary is a 42 year old lawyer. She was referred by her family physician to an exercise program after she expressed a need to get her growing weight issues under control. Mary is 5 foot 2 inches and 150 lbs which indicates a BMI of 27.4, and is considered very overweight. A female of this height should aim to be between 110 - 120 lbs to have a BMI within 'normal' limits.

    Mary has had an ongoing battle with weight and now that she is sitting 10-12 hours a day it is becoming even greater. She is worried about heart issues due to her weight gain and general lack of fitness. She complains of how little time she has to exercise and also finds it hard to eat well, eating out or grabbing quick meals that often involve fast food.

    The personal trainer recommends to Mary that she start an exercise program immediately so that it can't be put off any longer. Mary is also referred to a nutritionist for education on food choices and to give her some ideas on healthy alternatives. It is also recommended that Mary get a bike for weekends and can get it adjusted properly by a qualified bike fitter if necessary.

    Mary can also be referred to a cardiologist to have any heart issues or concerns checked out. She can also consider doing yoga or pilates on weekends to reduce stress levels, improve her strength and help with her with weight loss.

  • Managing Lower Back Pain With Lifestyle Changes " John a 53-year-old business man "

    John is a 53-year-old business man complaining about a sore lower back. John is approximately 40 pounds overweight and sits for 8-10 hours a day. He exercises infrequently even though he knows he should do more. John smokes 10-20 cigarettes a day and eats irregularly, however, when he does eat he tends to overeat. John claims to sleep about 5-6 hours a night which he feels is not enough and complains of feeling tired a lot.

    Upon examination by his physician, it is apparent his hip flexors are extremely tight, his rotation in his trunk is almost non-existent and his hamstrings are extremely weak due to sitting too much. John is referred by his family physician to a fitness program, with either a physiotherapist or a chiropractor for his lower back issues which includes a stretching program. John could benefit from going to yoga not only to improve his flexibility and back issues, but to improve his sleeping patterns. His family physician also feels John could benefit from seeing a nutritionist to learn more about healthy eating. Lastly, John has agreed to see a specialist about his smoking in hopes that he can soon quit.

    Indeed, wheat is a widely cultivated grain from the Triticum plant, with various varieties such as durum and spelt. Its versatility makes it a staple ingredient in numerous foods, including bread, breakfast cereals, pasta, bulgur, and couscous. However, for some individuals, consuming wheat can trigger an immune response, leading to wheat allergy. This allergy is recognized as one of the nine most common allergies in Canada. It's important to note that wheat allergy differs from celiac disease, which is an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten, a protein found in wheat and other grains like barley and rye. Wheat allergy can manifest due to the body's immune response to various wheat proteins, including gluten. Symptoms can range from mild to severe and may include skin reactions, gastrointestinal issues, respiratory problems, or, in severe cases, anaphylaxis. Managing wheat allergy involves strict avoidance of wheat-containing foods and products. Individuals diagnosed with wheat allergy should carefully read food labels and be aware of potential sources of wheat in processed foods. In cases of severe allergy, carrying emergency medication such as epinephrine is essential in case of accidental exposure leading to anaphylaxis.
  • 06 March 2024
    Absolutely, anaphylaxis can be life-threatening and unpredictable, often stemming from food, drug, or venom allergies. Due to the unpredictable nature of allergic reactions, it's crucial for individuals with known allergies to have appropriate treatment readily available at all times. One of the challenges of anaphylaxis is the difficulty in predicting when and how severe a reaction will occur. Even if someone has experienced a mild reaction in the past, there's no guarantee that subsequent reactions will be similar or less severe. Therefore, having access to medication, such as epinephrine auto-injectors, is essential for immediate intervention in case of an allergic emergency. Ensuring that individuals at risk of anaphylaxis are educated about recognizing symptoms, carrying their prescribed medication, and knowing how to administer it or seek help promptly can significantly improve outcomes and reduce the risk of severe complications. Prompt administration of epinephrine is critical in managing anaphylaxis effectively and potentially saving lives.

    Absolutely, the overlap between symptoms of mild thyroid deficiency and depression can make it challenging to distinguish between the two conditions. Both hypothyroidism and depression can cause symptoms such as fatigue, low motivation, and depressive mood. As a result, it's crucial for healthcare providers to conduct thorough evaluations, including medical history, physical examinations, and possibly laboratory tests, to accurately diagnose the underlying cause of these symptoms. Collaboration between patients and healthcare professionals is essential in navigating this diagnostic challenge and ensuring appropriate management and treatment.

    It's essential for individuals to recognize these signs and seek medical advice if they suspect they may have an underactive thyroid. Consulting with healthcare professionals, such as primary care practitioners, family physicians, physiotherapists, registered dietitians, and athletic therapists, can provide valuable support in diagnosing and managing this condition effectively.

    , posted in: Osteoporosis Treatment
    27 January 2024
    The psoas muscle plays a crucial role in hip flexion, which is the movement of bringing the thigh upward toward the torso. This action is essential for various activities such as walking, running, climbing stairs, and lifting the knee. When you take a step forward during walking, the psoas muscle contracts to flex the hip joint, lifting the leg and moving it forward. This action is coordinated with other muscles to create a smooth and efficient gait. Apart from hip flexion, the psoas muscle also contributes to stabilizing the lumbar spine and maintaining proper posture. It is involved in maintaining the natural curve of the lower back and controlling movements of the trunk and pelvis. It's worth noting that the psoas muscle can be susceptible to tightness or imbalances, especially in individuals who spend a lot of time sitting. Prolonged sitting can lead to a shortened and tight psoas muscle, which can contribute to lower back pain and hip mobility issues. Stretching and exercises that target the psoas muscle can help alleviate these problems and improve overall hip function.
