Why is ultrasound guidance so important when it comes to treating pain?
1️⃣: if your provider misses the damaged tissue, you get little to no benefit. Ultrasound allows for precision down to the millimeter.
2️⃣: we get to ensure we’re avoiding nerves and vessels alike.
3️⃣: injection therapy becomes one heck of a lot more pleasant and less scary when you know your provider can see the landscape.
4️⃣: it allows us to use therapies like hyaluronic acid and PRP with confidence that they’re being applied correctly and you’re getting your money’s worth.

So if you care about your safety and the efficacy of your treatment, find someone who’s willing to take the time to provide ultrasound guidance. Your comfort and results will thank you!

🛑 When was the last time your physician really took a good look under the hood (a thorough physical exam and blood work) to see how you were doing?

🤷 Why does it matter? Well, much like your car, the human body appears to work well until the wheels finally come off. The only difference being that you only get one body, and once it’s sick, it’s beyond challenging to reverse that process.

🎬 So don’t wait until you’re 50 to start checking in on your health. Take a detailed look under the hood today, get your baseline bloodwork run and get on-top of any changes before it’s too late to fix them.

🛑Injectable pain medicine does not have to be your last resort or something you turn to after years of suffering.

🗓️ Last week we broke the pain cycle for several patients who had been in pain for years and almost lost hope. But it doesn’t have to be like that. You can ask for help before you’re at wits end!

💉Although you might be doing everything right, sometimes your body needs a little external stimulus to kick its healing processes into gear.

This week .co is stacked with PRP procedures and I couldn’t be more excited to get my guys/gals out of pain.

Curious about injectable medicine? Comment or message me and let’s see if it’s right for you!

Some days are busy with complex joint pain cases and injectable therapies. Others start off with lots of smiles and laughter when kids come in interested in learning about anatomy and how their bodies work.

This morning I had the honour of doing a crash course on bones and organs for wonderful kiddos. They even got to see the heart, lungs and liver under ultrasound! How cool.

Thank you to my fearless model Captain Jack Marrow for the assist.

🚴‍♂️Meet Sonic 🦔 (yeah, like the hedgehog). Had fun putting this little conversion kit together with dad last week so I can more easily ride to work, friends houses, etc.

E- bikes may be cheating, but I’m okay with that. It makes the process more fun and me more likely to be active every day 😋

And yes, he’s not just named Sonic because he’s blue 🦔💨💨

Yesterday and I had the pleasure of representing .co at the wellness event. We’re looking forward to serving some of their incredible staff and with several of the other lovely vendors who were in attendance!

Thanks for the invite and see you guys next year!

Looking forward to seeing the results of our efforts in a couple weeks time!

Injuries suck. I get it. A lot of you see me as athletic or know that I have an athletic background. What many of you may not know is that 2 years ago I did something silly and, in the process, herniated a disc in my lumbar spine (low back). This resulted in shooting pain, numbness and instability that plagued me for the better part of 2 years and took me out of almost every activity that brought me joy.

In the beginning I was in denial. I thought I was indestructible. I remember telling that I’d be back in a week when he asked me how I was doing. I started off by laying on my floor for a week straight and limping to classes where I’d lay on the ground or half ass stand while the professors taught. I wore a weightlifting belt and straps to keep my core stable since I couldn’t hold myself up without hours of agony. The process of recovery tested my patience, forced me to face the realities of my (news to me) very fragile mental health and learn a lot about myself. It took me to a very dark place.

But this post isn’t about me bitching and complaining because I hurt myself. This is meant to bring awareness to the fact that some injuries do just take time. They take hard work, patience and self-compassion.

Again, it’s been over 2 years now and I’m just now getting back to a place where I feel comfortable being athletic without dreading the consequences. But now it’s time to build it all back. It’s time to get fu***ng strong, build back my resilience and get back that part of my life that I’ve missed so dearly while I’ve been injured. , I’m coming for you brother 😉 ❤

Picture 1: Last night after a great workout with
Picture 2 & 3: My baseline DEXA scan results from that were a wonderful kick in the ass and a reminder of how much my injury impacted my body and longevity.
Picture 4: Me a week after my injury hanging in gym trying to get the pain to go away while he pushed me to do more than I thought I could and break my pain cycle. A lesson and a reminder I won’t soon take for granted

Remember – In the moment, a big injury might make you think you’ve lost everything. But it will get better

Congrats to the class of 2023! You guys deserve to celebrate today as a way of marking the end of an era of hard work, dedication, sweat, blood and tears. Be proud of yourselves as you cross the stage today 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

These pictures are from a few years back at my grad but still hold a fond memory for me. A day spent celebrating hard work with those closest to you 👌🏻

📚Patient Education! 🤓

The most important part of my job is taking the time to educate my clients about what’s going on in their body.

That allows us (we’re a team here) to make the most well informed choices possible when it comes to creating care plan.

If you’re a patient who feels lost, confused or forced into a route of care without being explained the process, find another provider who will! Patient centred care takes work - but that’s what we’re here for 👌🏻
