I’d also call myself “passionate” and “dedicated” to getting to the source of common (but not normal) ailments that are holding you back.

I do a thorough evaluation to analyze how your nervous system is functioning and to identify where it may be under pressure. This analysis means that I can not only show you how chiropractic can help, but I can give specific adjustments with great results.

What’s not to love?

If you’re a parent, have you ever probably pointed a TV remote control at your child and said, “Mute”? Or “Pause”? 🤣 Maybe you’ve looked for an operations manual online, in groups or in well-known books. 📚

Well, let me tell you the surprising news: the nervous system has the switch you’ve been looking for. 💡

🚗 It is designed like the gas and brake pedals of a car. 🚦 To play or be active, kids (and adults) need to be able to change their blood chemistry, accelerate their heart rate and breathing to be more alert, and to provide the muscles with more nutrients. 💪This is also a safety feature, so we can prepare to fight and run when danger is detected. 🚨

However, much like a car, we need to be able to slow down! 🐌Ideally, a child can easily switch between these two nervous system “pedals” through their day to be able to focus and learn, be full of energy and enthusiasm, and then be ready to eat and sleep.

🛑 Signs that their nervous system isn’t adapting well can include: ⚠
Hyperactivity
Anxiety
Low muscle tone
Meltdowns and outbursts
Frequent illness

How would your child’s life change if these weren’t a constant concern?

Maybe you can relate to Kat’s story.

She had suffered from low back pain for a long time, and the pandemic made it even worse. Despite trying various therapies—chiropractic, acupuncture, trigger point therapy, osteopathy, massage, Lidocaine injections, and fascial stretch therapy—nothing provided lasting relief.

Here’s how she described starting chiropractic care in her Google Testimonial. “My first appointment with Dr. Gelber was thorough and consultative, reviewing my health journey and discussing my path to recovery.

After just my second adjustment, the pain DISAPPEARED like flipping a switch.” At that appointment, she was overwhelmed, in a pleasantly surprised state - and I offered a hug. Come to find out later, she’s not usually a hugger!

To me, this just cemented how impactful specific chiropractic can be!

Kat said, “Dr. Gelber has been crucial in restoring my mobility and changing my life. It’s incredible how much we take simple movements for granted until they’re restricted. Dr. Gelber and Grace clearly have a genuine passion for their work and care deeply for their patients. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking relief and improved quality of life.”

It's been a delight to help her achieve health success and progress, and I look forward to more!

Adjustments on babies are so gentle! 👶About the same amount of pressure as you would use on fruit to check for ripeness, without damaging it. 🥭Sometimes, I may need to just hold a point for the vertebrae to melt back into alignment.

It may not look like I'm doing much, but pediatric adjustments are so effective!

Constipated babies often have a blow-out diaper on the way home as nerve flow to the gut is restored. 😲Parents of colicky babies may report that their child is happy and at ease. 🥰Sometimes, we get messages saying the baby has slept through the night for the first time! 😴

Whatever the result may be, we know that a clear nervous system functions better!

Have you ever felt stuck, accepting “this is the way things are” or “I'm just getting older”? 🤷‍♀️

What if you could improve the status quo for your health, activity level, or your enjoyment level in life? 🤔

Better nervous system function can be the key to unlocking a more vibrant you! 🔐

You've probably seen more and more professionals talk about this on the internet. From business gurus to mental health experts, everyone is discovering what chiropractors have been saying for years. 💡When your nervous system is more adaptable (and clear of subluxations), your quality of life often improves.

This is because it's hard to work, play, rest, and grow if you're stuck in a sympathetic nervous system state known as “fight, flight or freeze.” 😡🏃‍♂️😰

Chiropractic has been shown to help you shift into a parasympathetic state: rest, digest and heal! 😎

Even after a (relatively) easy labor and delivery, a baby’s spine can be negatively impacted. 😫
We all remind people to support the newborn’s head but subluxations may have already occurred.

⚡Misalignments can cause interference in the nervous system, disrupting the baby’s innate ability to function well in this brand new environment. They are doing so many new things, from breathing to latching and suckling, digesting and pooping! 🍼💩

🧠 We want their brain and body to be able to fully communicate in this tiny developing person.

✅ This is why I recommend a well baby check at a pediatric chiropractor (yes, I’m one of them), and especially if you are seeing signs of discomfort or dysfunction.

We all want a healthy, happy child and this can definitely create an atmosphere of ease for parents as well. 😍

Do you remember this line from Jurassic Park? 🍿📺Ok, we may have changed it a little!

But it's true that life stressors (the good and the bad) are persistent! Thankfully our brain wants us to heal and function at our best, against the nasty forces of decay and degeneration.

🧠Your brain is always sending out signals of well being. Subluxations interfere with those messages reaching their destinations in the body, as well as the “status updates” from the organs, glands and tissues back to the brain. 📨📩Much like a T-Rex between scientists and their ticket home!

Chiropractic care is all about identifying and correcting those subluxations so that life can express itself fully with HEALTH! 👏

What were you like as a child? What health challenges did you have? Do you wish that you had started on a path to proactive wellness earlier?

As we talk about chiropractic care for the whole family this month, I pulled out these throwback photos of myself for us all to enjoy.

It’s always stated I was a sweet kid, who was polite and respectful and did well at school. I see this happy nature reflected in my son, Hayden!

I'm grateful for solid family bonding, and a well-rounded exposure to many different things. Years of observing my father's handy ways led me to want to know "how things work," which has served me well in life and in chiropractic.

I have also been adjusted since my teenage years and I see how this has served me well as I’m as active and adaptable as possible! All of my parenthood stress has proven that an early start is helpful for years to come - I don't "break down" as easily as I hear others do.

Now, I want to hear about you. Comment and reply to the questions at the beginning of this post.

Weeds are easier to pull when they are small. Trees grow straighter when they are cared for as saplings. And health is easier to maintain when we start as children!

I’ve seen this both in my practice and also personally, with myself and my family.

What are your plans for this long holiday weekend? (Reminder: We’re closed today.)

Our son Hayden headed off to sleepover camp for the FIRST time last Friday. We’re excited for him, for the fun, and for the social aspect and growth that often comes with these experiences, though we’ll miss him while he's gone!

The rest of us are chilling out in cottage country for some rest, recreation and nature. I found myself catching up on some planning and prioritizing. I find it’s easier to focus on lists and actions to take when I’m rested and my head is clear!

06/28/2024

To stretch or not to stretch, that is the question! If you feel your muscles are knotted up, should you keep stretching?

Interestingly enough, stretching may make the knots tighter! I'd recommend massage or pressure on that point.

Combine that with chiropractic care to be sure the nervous system is also able to slip into a more relaxed state of healing!

Comment with any other chiropractic-related questions and I'll do my best to answer in upcoming videos.

Warning: This post may induce happy tears as I share Flo’s story, including an amazing new opportunity for a dance program in Berlin!

Have you experienced a time when everything lined up - right place, right time, right person? That’s what happened when Flo found me!

Initially, our office was chosen as the closest in the vicinity to use insurance benefits as Flo was in a bad state and looking for help with pinched nerve-related pain. This had likely been brought on by a stressful life situation, including long hours at a computer for long hours with high anxiety.

Flo was too tired and in too much pain to continue dancing at that time. Flo said, “I was so upset and unbothered. I filled out the (new patient) form as quickly as possible because I just wanted to get it over with.”

Happily, when we met, the care plan and my values resonated with Flo.

“It gave me some hope back and without much doubt I decided to commit for that first year. I thought, ‘I can totally give myself this for a year. The least I can do is to try.’ Together with this, I started Pilates. Months later, I was dancing again. Slowly the body was becoming stronger. A year later I got my surgery. My body recovered at a speed that was absolutely unbelievable to most people.”

Months later, Flo is getting ready to start an intensive 5-month dance program in Berlin. I couldn’t be more thrilled or honored to have been part of this healing process.

Here’s the rest of the story in Flo’s words:

“The constant adjustments have been fundamental to getting me from where I was when I walked in, to where I am today…I do believe the adjustments have unlocked deeper things as well. I'm not sure how to explain it logically, and maybe doesn't need to be explained logically, but I know you two have been very important for me in getting myself back to intensive dance training, and also in bringing more of myself from the inside out.”

Join me in cheering on this exceptional person and wishing Flo the best of luck in Germany.

Posture matters more than you think! 💼 Did you know that your posture doesn't just impact your physical health, but your mental well-being too?

Think about it: when we slouch or hunch forward, not only does it strain our muscles and joints, but it also affects our mood and energy levels. 😓 On the flip side, good posture boosts confidence, reduces stress, and even enhances cognitive function! 🚀🧠

That's where chiropractic care comes in! ✨ By addressing misalignments in the spine and improving nervous system function, we help improve posture from the inside out.

Through gentle adjustments, chiropractic care restores proper alignment, alleviates tension, and promotes optimal posture, allowing you to stand tall and feel your best—physically and mentally!

Take your skin, for example—did you know that something as simple as staying hydrated can work wonders for its health and appearance? 💧💦

By drinking plenty of water, you're hydrating your skin from within, promoting elasticity, reducing inflammation, and giving it that healthy glow! 🌟

More importantly, inside-out health comes from our body's internal powerhouse: the nervous system! 🧠⚡️ Just like water nourishes our skin, chiropractic care supports our nervous system from the inside out.

Chiropractic care is about identifying and removing interference in the spine, allowing for optimal nervous system function. This not only helps relieve pain and discomfort but also promotes overall health and well-being—starting from the inside!

While I admit a fair amount of my free reading and podcast time is spent with chiropractic-related materials and information, there are a few I enjoy that many of you would too!

➡Smart-LESS - I love great comedy, and I still have a soft spot for celebrities and their honest stories. If you don't already listen to this one, it is crass, honest, sometimes raunchy, but gives me great belly laughs!

➡Huberman Lab - this was shared with me, and while the casts are lengthy and deep dive discussions, the health topics are very useful for anyone, as is the tone of their delivery.

➡Move your DNA - Katy Bowman is a biomechanist, and talks about all things logical with the body, movement, and more - another share from a great patient!

Stay tuned for some book recommendations soon!

By scheduling routine chiropractic check-ups, you're taking a proactive approach to your health, ensuring that your nervous system is functioning optimally—no hidden issues, no surprises! 🌟

Celebrating Penelope! Even though she has been checked since birth, she wasn't a big fan of getting adjusted as she got into her toddler years. Clinging to mommy, resistant and we’d have to coax her into even moderate comfort.

However, at this last visit, I asked if she wanted to lay face down just like mom and dad do, and these images capture her comfort (just not her smiles ☹️) as she was instantly cooperative, laying perfectly still, calm, and playful! SO glad we got to capture the moment!

06/07/2024

Prevention is the key to a healthier, happier life! 🗝️ When it comes to chiropractic care, waiting until you're in a health crisis isn't the best approach.

✨ Instead, why not prioritize wellness chiropractic care as part of your regular health routine? By taking proactive steps to support your spinal health and nervous system function, you can prevent issues from arising in the first place. 🌟

With consistent chiropractic adjustments, you're not just treating symptoms when they occur—you're investing in your long-term well-being and helping your body function at its best every day.

Being a university student has its own set of stressors. Long hours of studying (possibly without good posture), late nights, less-than-nutritious meals, and mental stress can all exacerbate or bring to light neuromusculoskeletal issues!

A first-year student, Andrew, came to see us with some lower back issues and postural concerns that hadn’t responded to physiotherapy.

We’re so glad he found us! Andrew is a pleasure to work with. He is polite, respectful, and really inquisitive in a great way.

After a few months of chiropractic care, he's gotten great results. He's more aware of his posture, and his lower back feels great. He can even keep up with the workouts, which he wanted to do with more ease.

Today, I'm thrilled to be at the Kobo/Rakuten Toronto office for their Wellness Week, delivering an on-site talk. I'll be hanging around for the afternoon to do short 1-on-1 consultations for those who have specific questions.

This is an introduction to chiropractic perspectives and advice on their health, not a hard-core sales pitch to sign up for my services. When someone is interested but lives far away, I'm happy to introduce them to a colleague.

This relaxed format is invaluable for businesses who want to foster a culture of focused, calm individuals who need fewer sick days off!

Reach out in a direct message if you'd like to set this up in your workplace, and we'll work out details!
