How do I seek outa therapist? a: Acupuncture is one of the main therapies within the 2500 yearold system of medicine called Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Over the past 60 years, its use has spread into North America but with varying standards of education, training, and regulation. On April 1, 2013 Ontario regulated the profession of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), following BC, Alberta, and Quebec and the majority of the United States. Regulation is a wonderful thing in that it creates a standardized level of training and patient care within the field of TCM. With the advent of regulation, more and more extended health plans are covering Acupuncture when provided by a Registered Acupuncturist (RAC) or a Registered TCM Practitioner (RTCMP). You'll want to check with your insurance provider to determine if you have coverage and in what amount. Acupuncture is effective in the treatment of chronic pain and sports injuries as well as women's health issues including fertility, gynecological, and hormonal disorders. It can also successfully treat respiratory problems, gastrointestinal disorders, neurological issues, autoimmune disorders, and emotional problems.

For some, it's a matter of neglecting proper care of the teeth. For others, it's a matter of the parents not understanding the importance of oral hygiene in their children. Gum, or periodontal, disease is a serious business. It's made even more dangerous by the fact that it is often painless. It is caused by plaque. This sticky film produces toxins which can damage the gums. As a parent, you should make it a point to check your children's teeth periodically for the signs of gum disease. Look for redness, tenderness and swelling at the gumline. Diseased gums bleed easily and may lead to persistent bad breath and loose teeth. Encourage your child to brush at least twice daily. Flavoured children's toothpaste can help encourage this habit. Teach your children to floss regularly, it's possible even at young ages. Model a good diet by balancing it with a broad variety of foods and placing limits on sweets and between meal snacks. familyhouseofworship@start.ca Services EVERY Sunday 16 Adamson Street, South Norval, Halton Hills Services starting at 10am To advertise your church services or any other church event here please contact Kelli Kosonic 905-234-1018 or email kkosonic@theifp.ca By Cory Soal R.H.A.D. . . . Lend MeYour Ears We care about your hearing! Professional Arts Building 99 Sinclair Ave., Suite 210, Georgetown 905-873-6642 Serving the community of Halton Hills and surrounding areas since 1992 The Georgetown A diminished social life is one of the most difficult aspects of age related hearing loss. Many people avoid drawing attention to their hearing loss by having fewer social contacts when it becomes difficult understanding what is being said. The result is an altered and lonely existence that family and friends may mistake for dementia. Learning new strategies to cope with hearing loss could go a long way to restoring confidence and improving communication. The Hearing Clinic recommends the following: Inform people of the hearing loss so they may modify their speech; eliminate background noise; watch the speaker carefully and sharpen natural lip-reading abilities; ask the speaker to repeat what was said if necessary, and above all else; have your hearing thoroughly tested and properly fit with one of today's modern hearing instruments. Contact The Hearing Clinic if you or someone you know needs assistance. LEARNING NEW STRATEGIES
