Welcome to the blog of Dr. Carney and Kawartha Therapeutic Centre.
I'm excited to make this type of forum available to patients, and to the public in general. We are in an age where consumers/clients/patients are seeking greater access to information and, I believe, greater access to their health care providers.
Indeed we are in the age of information. However, with "information" coming at us in all directions, it can be tough to decifer reliable from unreliable information. I won't be arrogant and suggest that I am the ultimate answer to the reliability question - but I do plan on using this forum to provide sound, evidence-based information to questions in the field that I have expertise in.
I will endevour to use this tool to discuss common questions that I hear of in the office relating to health and injuries, as well as topics that you specifically ask me to talk about. So feel free to e-mail me your topics of interest (kawarthatherapeutic@gmail.com). Of course, I cannot answer specific questions relating to YOUR condition, as this would be irresponsible of me to do so without taking a proper medical history and performing a thorough physical assessment. However, I am happy to discuss healthy living concepts and injuries in a general manner, current health trends, nutritional concepts, or any topics in the exercise and fitness world.
If I'm not qualified to weigh-in on a particular subject, I'll let you know.
As mentioned, it is my intention to discuss topics in an "evidence-based" fashion. That is to say, I won't be firing off my 2 cents about a health-related matter if I cannot support it with solid evidence from reputable journals.
I will also use this forum to let you know of any news, events and happenings at the office that may be of interest.
Yours truly,
Dr. Carney
