Keynote Topics from Trillium Health Centre

We all want to lead a long, healthy life and to take the best possible care of ourselves, and those close to us. While some risk factors cannot be changed, all of us can make choices that will promote our health and greatly reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer.

Your family doctor is an important part of your life when it comes to your health. Enhance the relationship with your doctor by becoming a more educated health-care consumer. Find out about important screening tests and how they are interpreted, discover how to get the best care in today’s health care system, and learn about newer models of care.

Are you trying to determine how your parents are doing as they age? Find out what to watch for, what to do if you notice anything that might indicate a health problem, and where you can turn for help.

Did you know stress can affect your overall health? Learn to understand stress, identify the pressures that affect you, and develop the techniques you need to live a less stressful life.

Other Topics

Although all of us have experienced pain, few people truly understand what pain is; what it means; why it's important not to ignore; and easy steps we can take to reduce and manage it. Suggestions are made from a chiropractic perspective which focuses on natural non-drug therapies, exercises, and lifestyle modifications...all with the goal to gain a greater awareness of how the body works and how to improve it's function.
