Whether itโs a dull ache, or a debilitating ailment that ruins your day, we all know headaches are no fun.โฃ
โฃ
According to TCM, headaches can have many different causes. Chronic headaches are typically due to an imbalance of the major organ systems. And although painkillers can relieve some headaches, they wonโt correct those imbalances. โฃ

Using specific acupressure points can effectively reduce and/or eliminate the pain associated with different types of headaches! You can try this at home by massaging the tender points shown in the next slides the next time you experience a headache โฃ

*๐๐ข๐ฌ๐๐ฅ๐๐ข๐ฆ๐๐ซ - this is safe to try at home, however if you pain persists or you find your headaches getting worse please follow up with your health practitioner for additional care and guidanceโฃ

Our very own Travis Irmen asked Premier John Horgan the question we all want to hear the answer to today. When do we get to open? The answer is we are still not 100% sure. At this point all chiropractic, acupuncture, massage therapy as well as our physio and dental friends are waiting for our respective colleges to give us the go ahead and what protocols need to be in place. At Momentum, we have been doing everything we can to get ready and rest assured, the moment we are able to safely start seeing patients we will! In the meantime, both Dr. Levine and Nimchuk are available for chiropractic services on an urgent/acute basis. Please visit our website to contact us if this describes you.

Reminder: Be kind to your mind and body during these uneasy times. Sleep in, stay hydrated, keep your distance and get some fresh air.

We at Momentum Health look forward to seeing you all again soon. Stay Healthy! ๐
