You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart." - Steve Jobs, Stanford commencement address 2005 DENTURES Q: How can I tell the difference between a pain that needs therapy from one that will go away on it's own? A: This is a great time of year to ask that particular question. I usually tell my patients that noticeable aches that last more than 3 to 5 days will benefit from a consultation and perhaps further treatment. The reason for this is that an ache that lasts longer than one or two days may go away because of your body has adjusted it's movement patterns so as to reduce the stress on the injured area, not because the injured area has truly recovered. These altered patterns of movement can become habitual and place stress on other areas of the body that will cause that area to become fragile. This physical stress due to compensatory movements will be more likely to become a source of disability in the event of a lifestyle change - such as that which occurs during the changing of the seasons. Some cases may require hands on treatment while others may only require the application of a handful of simple exercises done over a few weeks. It pays to take care of the little problems before they become big ones. People are often surprised at how much they get out of a Physiotherapy consultation. In some cases a relatively small number of movements types account for a great deal of the pain that reduces one's ability to work and play. A Physiotherapist can give you insights into the activities and movements that slow or in some cases stop the healing process. Having an awareness of these movements allows you to have much more control over your level of comfort and recovery. The assessment and treatment skills of a Physiotherapist ensures that a wide variety of treatments like massage, joint mobilization, joint manipulation, therapeutic ultrasound and therapeutic exercise are applied to the areas of the body that need it most and in ways that the most beneficial. Reducing pain enhances mental productivity. Increasing one's physical abilities enhances physical productivity. Rehabilitation is a sound investment of your time. 905-877-CARE (2273) DR. ANOOP SAYAL DR. ANOOP SAYAL Family and Cosmetic Dentistry located in Georgetown Marketplace Mall Q: Is thumb sucking bad? A: Yes and no. First, it must be understood that thumb sucking is a "natural reflex". An ultrasound test on a developing baby will often show him or her sucking a thumb. When this habit goes on for too long, however, orthodontic problems can often occur. By the age of six or seven, the child's permanent teeth are just beginning to arrive. Before then, thumb sucking will cause few problems. After permanent teeth arrive, abnormal pressure from the thumb can cause the front upper teeth to become "bucked". The bottom front teeth then become crowded backward. A misalignment of the teeth occurs. So, how do you stop thumb sucking for your four or five year old? Some have found gloving the hand, dipping the thumb in vinegar and increased attention to the child help. In the end, though, treatment depends on how long and often the thumb sucking occurs. To avoid any permanent damage, don't delay your attempts to stop this habit.
