this is a sharing post about herbal use

-- not going into politics /ideology/ pharma

-- not for diagnoses, use this information with aid of your health care provider or your own risk

from folk medicine now making its way into alternative health: phytolacca oil (topical; not to be used internally)

my personal current use is for breaking up cancer cells in breast tissue, under guidance of my licensed TCM health care provider i have been using this medicinal phytolacca oil topically for approximately 4 weeks.

my personal experience: it has reduced swelling/ growth of a cancer tumour  that had broken through; this has given skin the ability with another mixed herb salve (predominately comfrey) to heal as the tumour continues to decrease; medicinal oil use has been twice to thrice daily, massaging oil into breast tissue (but not in open wound) of both breast and upper body lymph (pits and neck). excess oil was rubbed into hands and on suspected skin cancer areas. besides reduction of pronounced breast tumour, the upper chest area has soften ‘anvil plate’; two of four skin cancer patches have died and fallen off like old scabs after being there for min of four years and expanding growth; there is a noticeable reduction/ change in skin tabs in areas where oil is applied ; another possible positive note is sharp pain in hands due to what some doctors have thought was arthritis/ carpel tunnel/ lyme or it’s co-infection (i have the 3 “B”s) nerve issues have/are also diminishing with use or massaging this oil into hands and wrist.

i am very much encouraged and want to share this personal information with you bc you aren’t going to get it from your western trained doctors and i was disappointed that i did not get it from my naturopath either! i am not diagnosing nor prompting people run right out and get poke oil to use but i am encouraging you to investigate and speak with your care provider if you are interested in this for personal use. if they will not discuss it then i would encourage you to find an herbalist or other train professional that can help you become more knowledgeable about herbal poke use

Tips for Neck Pain

NECK PAIN FROM SITTING AT A DESK ALL DAY? READ BELOW FOR TIPS AND STRATEGIES TO HELP. by Sherri Cicirello | Sep 7, 2023 | Blog Neck pain is a common condition, particularly in office workers when compared to other occupations. It was found in a study by Chen et al., 2018 that approximately 42% to 63% of office workers suffer from neck pain. This is a fairly high number, and not only does having pain and discomfort affect our job, but it can also affect our life outside of work. It is likely that your workplace has provided education or strategies for your specific job and job environment such as ergonomics tips. This may have included proper desk set up, sitting posture, limiting screen time, chair adjustments, or standing breaks every so often. These can be helpful but may not be enough to reduce or prevent your neck pain. More specifically, these techniques may provide some relief, but often once the neck pain has developed it turns into a reoccurring issue. Why do office workers get neck pain? There is likely many contributing factors to your neck pain including physical, psychological and environmental factors. As you may know, office workers sit for prolonged periods of time at their desk or computer. Remaining in a seated position for a prolonged time can cause muscles to fatigue, resulting in a bent over posture and forward head position. Repeating this day-to-day can cause compression through our neck and overstretching of specific neck muscles, and eventually turn into neck pain. Further, these overstretched neck muscles may eventually reduce in endurance and strength, which can exacerbate the problem. These specific neck muscles are in place to support our head, help with posture and provide stabilization to our neck – therefore, if they are weak and lack endurance our body will rely on other structures to support our head and neck causing neck pain and tightness. What does the research say for office workers suffering from neck pain? If the previously mentioned tips and strategies provided by your workplace are not enough, then what else do we do? The study by Chen et al., 2018 investigated different workplace-based interventions for the prevention, management and reduction neck pain in office workers – let’s see what they found. Office workers who have neck pain benefited from specific neck and shoulder strengthening exercises. More specifically, the individuals who were symptomatic with their neck had the greatest reduction in neck pain intensity. Also, the researchers suggested that even those not suffering from neck pain, but are at an increased risk due to the nature of their job, may benefit from a neck and shoulder exercise program. The type of neck and shoulder exercise vary from stretching the muscles around the area, building up strength and increasing endurance in surrounding musculature. For example, an exercise program consisting of front raises, lateral raises, reverse flies, shrugs, and wrist extensions was shown to be beneficial for reducing neck pain in office workers.

How can physiotherapy treatment help office workers suffering from neck pain? A guided and well-balanced neck and shoulder strengthening program is a great start for neck pain. A physiotherapist can help provide you with specific exercises and an appropriate intensity for your level of fitness. Along with these types of exercises, physiotherapy interventions such as manual therapy to loosen and stretch muscles surrounding the neck may be beneficial. Also, the use of modalities such as acupuncture may help to speed up your recovery and reduce your neck pain even more. natural What are some tips and strategies from a physiotherapist’s perspective? 1.Practice good posture: you may recall people telling you to straighten up and “fix” your posture – but what does this exactly mean, and what is an optimal posture? Recent evidence states there is no optimal posture, but that holding a position for a length of time (i.e. >20 minutes may cause discomfort. Therefore, frequently changing our posture, such as standing up, stretching out our arms or walking is beneficial. 2.Alter your workstation: your workplace may have signs up or given tips to set up your office space for better comfort. Follow the below picture for a good starting point on how to set up your office space. 3.Increase your activity throughout the day: being busy with work and sitting for the majority of our day is likely contributing to our neck pain. Therefore, finding time before work, after work or even on our lunch breaks to be active is important. For example, going for a 30-minute walk before work can be beneficial for our musculoskeletal and cardiovascular systems. Neck pain can have a large effect on our work productivity, mood, and general life outside of work. If you are tired of suffering from neck pain or discomfort and looking to improve yourself, visit South Simcoe Physiotherapy at our Alliston or Tottenham locations. One of our physiotherapists will take you through a physical examination to identify the exact problem, as well as prescribe specific exercises and treatments to help reduce your neck pain.

Acupuncture

WHAT IS ACUPUNCTURE AND HOW CAN IT HELP RELIEVE MY PAIN? by R_Shea | Aug 15, 2023 | Blog What is the History Behind Acupuncture? Acupuncture has been practiced in China for more than 3000 years, where their use of natural healing therapy has gained traction around the world. If you have heard of acupuncture before, you have likely been told or read something regarding the yin and yang, so what exactly is this? Essentially, yin-yang can be thought of representing a person’s state of being or behaviour and is necessary to be in balance for health. Therefore, when it is not in balance, an individual may feel pain or other symptoms. To restore this balance, acupuncture is used, where traditional acupuncturists are stimulating Qi (pronounced “chee”) to affect change. Let’s try an example to explain this phenomenon. An individual has been suffering from chronic low back pain for multiple years. Their yin and yang can be considered to be off balance or in disharmony, contributing to this reoccurring back pain. A health practitioner trained in acupuncture can use acupuncture needles in various locations to stimulate Qi in order to help restore the balance of yin and yang. It has been reported that in the early 1970’s, an American experienced the benefits of acupuncture and described this experience in an article in the New York Times. Since then, acupuncture has been a part of North American treatment for various injuries and pathologies. In Western medicine, acupuncture is thought to have many different effects on the body. It is thought to restore blood flow to a specific location, which can help to simulate healing. It also can help to reduce inflammation in an area, which can in turn help to reduce pain. Similarly, acupuncture has been seen to have a neuromodulator effect, where multiple pain-relieving systems are activated to release neurotransmitters and ultimately reduce pain. How is acupuncture applied? low back pain, sciatica Acupuncture involves the insertion of fine needles through the skin and into tissues in different areas of the body. These needles are sterile and individually packaged. The physiotherapist will prep the area on your body for acupuncture by using an alcohol-based solution to ensure for a clean surface. Depending on the injured body part and area, there are different lengths and gauges of needles that your trained physiotherapist will determine is appropriate. The acupuncture needles are so thin, that there is generally minimal discomfort felt on insertion. Once inserted, the needle may stay in for approximately 10-30 minutes depending on your condition. Many people describe the feeling of the needle as a heaviness, fullness or distension, whereas others feel very little at all. It is also possible to continue to feel the previously mentioned sensation for up to 48-72 hours after treatment, however relief will be felt once these sensations have subsided. What can acupuncture treat? As stated in the title of this blog, acupuncture is a very versatile treatment tool, but why? This is because many studies suggest acupuncture effectively treatment multiple types of injuries and impairments such as: headaches migraines smoking addiction stress depression insomnia, low back pain, neck pain, osteoarthritis tennis elbow A study by Ezzo et al., 2001 studied the effectiveness of acupuncture on knee osteoarthritis. Many of us either suffer or know someone who has suffered from osteoarthritis. There is currently no cure, so therefore treatment is to manage the condition, whether it is pain or functional impairments. In the study, they looked at comparing the use of acupuncture versus sham acupuncture at reducing knee pain in those suffering from osteoarthritis. It was found that acupuncture was in fact beneficial at reducing pain in those with knee osteoarthritis. There was also some evidence in the improvement of function (i.e. going up and down stairs). Who can provide acupuncture? There are specific health care professionals who have taken specialized training in providing useful and sage acupuncture. Here at South Simcoe Physiotherapy, all of our physiotherapists are specially trained in providing acupuncture. What can I expect with acupuncture treatment? As previously mentioned, different people with experience different sensations with acupuncture, ranging from nothing at all to a heaviness or fullness feeling around the needle. The frequency of treatments and relief felt by the person will differ from person to person. Many people feel relief in their first treatment, where others require multiple treatments to experience a benefit. This is generally due to the nature of the injury, for example an acute injury may notice benefits in the first treatment or even after a couple of treatments. In comparison a chronic condition such as low back pain, may take multiple treatment sessions to begin to notice a difference. Here at South Simcoe Physiotherapy, it is a important treatment tool that practitioners use to help you to feel better and get back to the things you enjoy doing. If you have more questions or clarification regarding acupuncture, one of our health care practitioners would be happy to speak with you.

If you are suffering from an injury that has not gotten better, or simply wanting to try acupuncture, let your health care practitioner know, or call the South Simcoe Physiotherapy today!

Ankle Sprains

ORTHOPAEDIC BRACES ANKLE SPRAIN? LET’S TALK ABOUT DIAGNOSIS, TREATMENT AND RETURNING TO SPORT. by Sherri Cicirello | Oct 4, 2023 | Blog Ankle sprains are a common type of injury that can sideline anyone from a weekend warrior to a training athlete. This injury can be quite painful and also frustrating to rehab and return to the activity that you are wanting to get back to. In this blog, we will take a dive into the ankle sprain injury, as well as how to rehab it the safest and fastest in order to help you get back your activity better than ever. What is an Ankle Sprain? An ankle sprain occurs when the ligaments surrounding the ankle are stretched, partially or completely torn. Ligaments are tissue that attach from bone to bone and provide proprioceptive feedback to keep us up right and balanced when we are stationary or moving. Ligaments also help to keep our joints stable when we are moving them. For a ligament to be stretched, partially or completely torn, there typically needs to be an excessive force to the ankle and/or an awkward twist. There are a few different types of ankle sprains that typically occur: Lateral ankle sprain: This is the most common, often referred to as “rolling” your ankle. This occurs with twisting your ankle inwards with an excessive force or even your body weight. The ligaments affected are your anterior talofibular ligament, calcaneofibular ligament, and posterior talofibular ligament. Medial ankle sprain: This is less common, however occurs when we twist our ankle outwards with an excessive force, which affects a group of ligaments on the inside of our ankle called the deltoid ligament. physiotherapy High ankle sprain: This typically occurs from rotational type injury, such as planting our ankle and rotating our leg at the same time. This affects a ligament a bit higher up on our ankle called our anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament.

Common Causes of Ankle Sprains: Landing on your foot awkwardly after jumping or pivoting Walking/running on uneven surfaces Slipping off a curb Another person stepping on your foot/ankle A fall that causes your ankle to twist Symptoms of an Ankle Sprain: Pain in the ankle Increased pain with weight bearing or excessive activity on your feet Tenderness when touching the ankle Bruising Swelling Reduced ankle mobility Weakness surrounding the foot and ankle An instability feeling in the ankle with walking What to do if you think you just sprained your ankle? The initial stages after an ankle sprain are quite important. Prior to getting in to see your physiotherapist, there are a few things you can do to accelerate your healing and improve your prognosis. These can include icing your ankle with combined compression and elevation. Also, avoiding strenuous activity, such as walking, running or hiking. These simple, but important steps can go a long way in your recovery! How is an Ankle Sprain Diagnosed? An ankle sprain can be diagnosed by different health care practitioners, including a physiotherapist. The physiotherapist will begin by asking your questions about how you hurt your ankle, including the mechanism of injury, if you felt a popping sensation, if there was any bruising and/or swelling, and if you have had any previous ankle injuries. The physiotherapist will then carry on with an objective evaluation which may include a gait analysis, range of motion testing, strength testing, palpation and ligament stress testing. Depending on the grade of your sprain, it is important that the physiotherapist complete a comprehensive examination to rule out the potential for an ankle fracture. Rarely is imaging used to diagnose an ankle sprain, however if your health care practitioner is concerned, they may refer you for diagnostic imaging. If your physiotherapist diagnoses you with an ankle sprain, they will often communicate to you a grade of sprain. For example: Grade 1 sprain: stretching or slight tearing of the ligament. You may have mild tenderness on palpation, swelling and ankle stiffness. Grade 2 sprain: increased stretching of the ligament but an incomplete tear. You may have moderate pain and swelling. Walking is likely painful, as well as the feeling of instability may occur. Grade 3 sprain: a complete tear of the affected ligament. You may have significant swelling and bruising. The ankle is unstable, and you are likely unable to walk due to pain. How can a Physiotherapist help Treat an Ankle Sprain? In treating an ankle sprain, it can be broken down into 3 continuous steps: Step 1: Reducing Pain and Inflammation: this may include strategies to help reduce the pain and inflammation such as icing, ultrasound, compression sleeves and acupuncture. Step 2: Restore mobility and begin strengthening: It is crucial to begin gentle pain free ankle range of motion as soon as possible. Your physiotherapist may help with mobilizing your ankle as much as you can tolerate, as well as prescribing you with exercises to begin moving it on your own. Also, when ready, you may be prescribed initial strengthening exercises for your ankle in non-weight bearing. Step 3: Return to sport and activity: In this stage, you will be walking pain free and progressing to more dynamic and proprioceptive exercises. Your physiotherapist may prescribe to specific exercises to mimic your sport. They may also recommend an ankle brace to wear to prevent another injury. If you think you have suffered an ankle sprain, and are wanting to return to your favourite activity as fast as you can, call our clinic to book an appointment with one of our physiotherapists!

What Should You Look For In A Doctor? 

As I celebrate five years of successful practice, I reflect on what I’ve learned. One thing I’ve noticed is that the nature of my gig as an ND is that I tend to attract patients who are highly dissatisfied with the medical care they’ve received. My suggestion is that these qualities should be the minimum expectations that you should look for before you allow someone to be or continue to be your…
