Dieppe Chiropractic Center

Happy Administrative Professionals Week to all the dedicated, hardworking admin assistants who are invaluable to the success of any company, business, or organization. A very special thank you to Terri and Beckie at Dieppe Chiropractic Center, whom Dr Todd would be lost without!

Hi folks. Terri, Beckie, and I hope that the first month of the new year has treated everyone kindly, and that everyone is keeping healthy and happy.

There have been two key topics repeatedly coming up at the office over the past few weeks. One has been the cold and icy weather, and the difficulties it imposes on those of us who's main form of exercise is walking or bicycling. A drop in our activity levels goes hand in hand with weight gain, decreased mood and energy levels, and increased joint and muscle pain and stiffness.

If skiing, snowshoeing, or fat biking aren't in your wheelhouse, Moncton and Dieppe offer nice indoor walking tracks, and there are a myriad of group exercise programs for all age and fitness levels throughout the area. Don't wish to leave home? There are lots of fitness and yoga classes, both free or subscription-based, online (Yoga with Adrienne, which can be found on YouTube, is very popular with a number of our patients).

(The other hot topic has been the pros and cons of inversion therapy, especially through the use of inversion tables. I will touch upon this subject in my next post. Until then, stay happy and healthy.

Hello and Happy New Year, everyone. Terri, Becki, and I hope you all had a joyous and pleasant holiday, and are ready to tackle 2024 with gusto.

While New Year's resolutions may seem cliché, I have found that this is a good time to reflect and take stock of our health and lifestyle habits, and perhaps see if there is room for some positive changes to be made.

While I applaud those who resolve to make major improvements in their health, I also encourage all of us to look for smaller, more manageable habits we can adopt. Perhaps its drinking an extra glass of water or two per day, finding an extra 10 minutes to do some stretching and mobility exercises 3-4x/week, or even shutting off the devices an hour earlier before bedtime.

In the weeks ahead, I will be posting some links and videos that will hopefully help you to more readily make such changes, and adopt some healthy habits that will make 2024 our best year yet!

Why is movement essential to our well-being? Now, more than ever, humans are sitting and becoming less active, than ever before! Learn more from this great clip, posted by the Canadian Chiropractic Council, how you can offset the negative effects!

RE-OPENING THIS WEEK:

Hello again, everyone. In accordance with the province’s announcement this past Friday, in the upcoming week our office will be transitioning from seeing emergency cases only to also welcoming back non-urgent care as well. Steps have been taken and measures put in place to allow for a smooth and safe experience for the patient, that follows all Covid-19 guidelines as laid out by Public Health. We look forward to hearing from you soon, and once again being a part of your health and wellness program.

COVID UPDATE

Hello everyone. Our team at the Centre Chiropratique Dieppe Chiropractic Center thanks all of our extended family of patients for their patience during the province’s declared state of emergency. While our normal office operations are still not in effect, we are checking in everyday to answer calls and return messages. If you possibly require urgent/emergency care, or simply have any questions for us, we encourage you to call. We are optimistic that the current restrictions in place will soon be adjusted to such degree that we can once again begin to assist you with your healthcare needs.
