Hi

 

What's Happening at IHC

Dr. Jess Hobson ND recently partnered with the organization Teen Challenge and their Women’s Center in South Surrey. This center provides a 1-year recovery program for women of all ages and of all substance abuse backgrounds. She was approached earlier this year to be their on-site physician. Integrated Health Clinic is supporting her volunteer work and providing free pap exams and IUD insertions for the women at the centre in need of those services.

Digital Infrared Thermal Imagin (DITI)

Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging (DITI) is also know as thermography. DITI specific to breast health is commonly referred to as breast thermography. Breast thermography is a painless and non-invasive imaging procedure aimed at detecting thermal heat patterns (hot or cold spots).

Thermography’s role in breast cancer and other breast disorders is to help in early detection and monitoring of abnormal physiology. This 15-minute non-invasive test is a valuable procedure for alerting your medical practitioner to the possibility of underlying breast irregularities that are indicators of potential disease. When used appropriately with other breast imaging such as mammogram, ultrasound and/or or MRI, DITI helps to provide a comprehensive evaluation of an individual’s breast health.

It is recommended to have a breast thermogram annually, after establishing a baseline requiring two DITI’s 3-months apart. This has proven invaluable over the years, helping inform whether suspicious breast lesions have, or lack blood supply. Many times alerting to developing lesions before anything is visible on breast imaging.

Chronic Pain

Many of our patients in the CCC deal with chronic pain. More often than not, their pain is not being well managed despite their medications.

Living with chronic pain dramatically reduces quality of life as it can last for weeks, months, or even years beyond expected recovery. Our team of doctors are equipped to provide many services to help reduce this pain using a variety of evidence-based techniques with the goal of healing the area of injury/pain and restore quality of life over time.

Here is a recent anecdote worth sharing, as I see many patients everyday in my clinic dealing with situations just like this one. IHC associate Dr. Jess Hobson recently had a consultation with a breast cancer patient who since her mastectomy, has had chronic pain and decreased range of motion due to the scar tissue. Dr. Hobson provided this patient with neural therapy to the scar tissue, which has dramatically reduced the pain and improved the range of motion after only one treatment. The vast skillset of our team of doctors provides such incredible opportunities for our patients to safely and effectively improve their lives.

Some of the services we offer towards chronic pain at IHC:

  • Acupuncture
  • Bowen Therapy
  • Cranio-Sacral Therapy
  • IV & Injection Therapies
  • Neural Therapy
  • Prolo-therapy
  • PRP (Plasma Rich Proteins) Injections
  • Trigger Point Injections

Call the office and speak with one of our patient care coordinators to find out which doctor to see for your chronic pain issues.

Sincerely,

Gurdev Parmar ND
