Holistic Migraine Management - Online Workshop - Tuesday April 20, 2021 - 7pm
Headaches can be the product of many problems. They can be related to mechanical issues in the muscles and joints of the neck and head, or they can be related to hormones, stress, diet and many other problems in the body. In this workshop we will explore many causes and treatments for all these headache influencers.
Headaches can sometimes be difficult to manage due to the complexity of all systems that can contribute. It is important when working at improving and eliminating headaches that a thorough plan is developed according to each person’s own dysfunctions and needs.
In this workshop Mackie Physiotherapy will be partnering with Saskatoon Naturopathic Medicine and Dr. Darlene Reid-Ahenakew ND to help us understand the components that are out of practice realm of physiotherapy. She will bring an in-depth understanding of physiological systems, total body health, and supplements that can be beneficial in headache treatment.
Dr. Darlene Reid-Ahenakew ND is a well-known Naturopathic Doctor in Saskatoon practising at Saskatoon Naturopathic Medicine in Stonebridge. She helps many patients with chronic headaches and migraines stop the cycle of pain by uncovering physiological root causes. Hormone imbalances, gut health, stress responses, food intolerances, and nutrient deficiencies can all promote systemic inflammation and chronic pain. During this workshop, Dr. Reid-Ahenakew ND will discuss how to identify these issues in yourself and the different treatment approaches.
