      <image:title>Blog - Blog Review: Don’t Worry, Your Back Isn’t “Out” - Read Blog Here: Don't Worry Your Back Isn't "Out"</image:title>
      <image:caption>Why We Love this Article: If you’ve ever experienced the feeling that your back is “out”, we hear you (and your experience is totally valid!) Pain is complex and we all experience it differently - but that also means we can debunk what pain is and how to manage it. This article brings heavy-hitting research about the myths of pain interventions and how having an understanding and experienced provider can help you manage back pain effectively, without the expectation of adjustments and surgery.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Chiropractor Dr. Ryley Goodhand was raised outside of Alvinston on her family’s farm and is excited to return to her hometown roots to start her practice. Dr. Ryley began her career in healthcare at McMaster University where she completed her Bachelor of Science Honours in Kinesiology. During her time at McMaster she was a decorated member of the McMaster figure skating team and spent her free time volunteering at a spinal cord injury clinic while also working as a member of the Ice Crew for the Hamilton Bulldogs and Toronto Marlies. Dr. Ryley followed her passions to New York Chiropractic College where she completed her Doctor of Chiropractic having been inducted into the Phi Chi Omega Honour Society and graduated Magna Cum Laude. She has also been recognized with several awards for her dedication to teaching, proficiency in chiropractic technique and clinical excellence. Along with her chiropractic degree, Dr. Ryley also holds a certificate in contemporary neurofunctional acupuncture through McMaster University, an advanced certificate in sports science and human performance and is trained in Webster Technique. When she is not at the office you can find Dr. Ryley in her kitchen trying fun recipes, outside enjoying nature with her dog or at the arena blowing the dust off her old skates! Dr. Ryley uses a full body approach to health care and will make sure you leave your appointment having learned more about your body; not only what you can do for it, but what it can do for you! She is looking forward to seeing you in the office and being a part of your personal health and wellness.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Nurse Practitioner Lindsay is beyond excited to finally be able to offer nurse practitioner services in her hometown! Lindsay comes to Her Optimal Health with over 15 years of nursing experience. She became a registered nurse in 2004, graduating from McMaster University with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree. She spent her earlier career working in both hospital and community settings with adults and adolescents facing various mental health challenges. She soon recognized the need for enhanced mental health care at the primary care level and returned to school to pursue the primary health care nurse practitioner program. She successfully completed this along with a Masters of Science in Nursing degree from York University. Since 2011, Lindsay has been working with individuals and families, providing primary health care for a broad range of health issues. Lindsay continues to provide preventative health care and advanced nursing care to women across the lifespan. After becoming a mother to three young children, Lindsay became even more passionate about providing optimal health care to women. Lindsay comes with a breadth of knowledge related to women’s mental health, contraceptive care, sexual health, and health issues in the  menopausal years. Her nurse practitioner lens allows her to provide both holistic and medical evidence-based client centred care. Whether you are in need of preventative health screening such as a pap test or mammogram, require counselling and prescribing of birth control, or need a referral to a specialist or other health care provider in the community, Lindsay is eager to work with you to empower your own health!</image:caption>
