Knee Surgery Complete and on the Road to Recovery!

So my road to recovery begins! ACL and meniscus surgery was successful on Friday and was released later in the afternoon from the hospital.  Thank you for Dr. Rick Zarnett from Humber River Regional Hospital and his team for fixing me up!

Now the real work begins with rehabilitation and inflammation control. Lucky for me I have a great combination of modalities to use:  Pulsed Electro-Magnetic field therapy, cold laser therapy, Don Joy Iceman (ice machine), Electric Muscle Stimulation (EMS) and Interferential Current (IFC), Electro-Acupuncture, KinesioTaping, Traumeel cream and tablets... all to help speed healing and reduce inflammation and pain!  Looking forward to working with a great team of therapists to help get me back in shape!

Please check my blog periodically as I will post more about my progress and when I will return to work.  Dr. Ken Kinakin at AIM Health Group (905) 812-0644 will be seeing my patients in my absence.  My goal date is Monday July 29th. Have a great long Canada Day weekend!

I  was privileged to learn from Dr. Alejandro Elorriaga this weekend in his course  Advanced Functional Assessment of Musculoskeletal Dysfunction. Dr. Elorriaga is a sports medical doctor from Spain and teaches the McMaster Neurofunctional Acupuncture course that I trained in last fall.  Dr. Elorriaga has been doing acupuncture for over 30 years, teaches all over the world, and treats many world class athletes.  It was a great weekend expanding my learning in functional assessments, anatomy, acupuncture, and manual treatment skills.

JAMA. 2013;309(16):1738. doi:10.1001/jama.2013.3046.

"Many treatments are available for low back pain. Often exercises and physical therapy can help. Some people benefit from chiropractic therapy or acupuncture. Sometimes medications are needed, including analgesics (painkillers) or medications that reduce inflammation. Surgery is not usually needed but may be considered if other therapies have failed."

FAN 590 Radio Co-Host Highlights and Memories!

9/6/2013

I had a great time last year in April down at the FAN 590 studio with David Grossman, former sports writer for the Toronto Star and now host of Sunday Morning for the FAN 590 focusing on local amateur sports.  

David still remembered me as a high school athlete for Philip Pocock (he has a good memory)!  He tracked me down to come in studio to interview me for my chiropractic work with the Canadian National Diving team.  My husband Geoff McCallum (personal trainer) and I were his special co-hosts for the entire show!
