We hope everyone is having a great summer and had fun at the Calgary Stampede.
In this month's newsletter there are some very interesting articles. There is a very good article from Canada about the use of medication, specifically how the use of antibiotics in a child's first year of life can increase the risk of asthma, as well as an article about the prominent use of alternative healthcare in Canada.
We also want everyone to know that we will be open regular hours for the rest of the summer.
Until next month keep healthy,
Spineguys! |
