We all have realized that our poor posture can be the cause of our back or neck pain. But did you realize it can can also be the cause for:

Heartburn
Slowed digestion
Constipation
Incontinence

Aside from physical pain it can cause physiological changes in different organs and systems in the body.
If there is an effect on the nervous system causing a dysregulated nervous system it can lead to psychological issues affecting your brain and emotions like;

Brain fog
Trouble focusing
Fatigue
Depressed like state

Chiropractic care helps to correct postural changes in the body and help alleviate all the other issues that you never thought could be affected.

If you feel you need help to determine if chiropractic can help you, give us a call!

This weekend we had the pleasure of hosting our annual Women’s Wellness Day for a group of women at our practice. While we all try to maintain a healthy and preventative lifestyle, these women always commit to learning new and alternative methods to keeping their bodies functioning optimally!
We are thrilled to now offer Naturopathic Medicine with Dr. Christina Appleton who taught us how acupuncture on the face would be beneficial to keeping our skin looking healthy and decreasing those fine lines.
Jacki was ready to demonstrate how amazing it feels to have someone work on your feet with Reflexology. Dr. Sylvia also uses cupping to help decrease any inflammation and tight sore muscles to relax. We have also added Red Light Therapy to help anyone who would like to speed up healing from muscular aches and pains or would like to boost their energy or even help sleep a little better. We also realize that working out sometimes at a gym isn’t for everyone, so dancing 💃 specifically Salsa, demonstrated and taught by Gorete is a fantastic way to keep moving and get your heart rate up and strengthen our core and legs and buttock muscles!😊😅

A strong posture means a spine that is balanced and a nervous system that is working optimally. How is your posture today?! If you don’t feel it’s strong maybe it’s time for a chiropractic adjustment to help you.

03/07/2024

Chiropractic care balances your spine and allows the nervous system to work at its peak potential which therefore can optimize all systems of the body working optimally.

Have you seen the sun?!
Being outdoors has some tremendous healing properties. But the sun is especially important when we are talking about prevention.

—Just 15 minutes of sunlight allows the body to increase the production of Vitamin D. Which will help with maintaining your bone health and immune health.

—The amount of sunlight you see will also help you prevent those sleepless nights. During the dark days of winter get out and make sure you are soaking up the rays to help set your circadian rhythm by regulating the levels of seratonin and melatonin.

—the sun can also help signal your brain 🧠 to be alert. The brain is being activated and allowing you to be more energized as you are outdoors and preventing the afternoon slump and the need for more caffeine. ☕️

—So get out and enjoy some time outdoors! The latest research from a Swedish study also indicated after following 30,000 women, the life expectancy of those who spent more time in the sun was more than 2 years!

Poor sleep has been linked to many chronic health issues.
But falling asleep on the couch causes many problems that can immediately affect you the next morning!
Neck and back pain for one.
Difficulty turning your neck since it wasn’t supported properly on a good pillow.
Shoulder pain since you were lying on one side for too long.
Ask us how we can help you get a better nights sleep that would allow for better spinal function and help your nervous system to work optimally!

Want to increase brain 🧠 body connection?! Your adjustments might be doing more than improve your mobility and decrease your pain, it’s making sure that the nervous system functions better and relays information to your brain about your body!

Enjoy your time outdoors before the weather changes and get your body in tune before the winter storms and shorter days arrive!

Are your teens and children using the right type of back pack?
The wrong back pack and wearing it incorrectly can cause issues later on in life like:

Muscle soreness
Musculoskeletal pain
Fatigue
Respiratory issues

Make sure they make these small changes to help them:

Decrease the amount of stuff in it to be no more than 10% of their body weight.
They are not carrying it for long distances.
They decrease the amount t of time with it on their back. So if standing at the bus stop, they take it off for a few minutes to rest.
There is not inadequate distribution of weight in the back pack, and items are mot poorly placed.

What else can you do:

Pick one that fits your child. Not too small or not too big.
Padding- across the back and on the shoulder straps
Breathable materials not leather (heavier especially if it rains!)
Hip straps- when they are older and carrying laptops.
Place heaviest item in back.
Never carrying with one shoulder strap only!

A decrease in your normal neck curvature and alignment can cause headaches in some people. A research study by the CCA shows a 50% DECREASE in frequency. But most people feel a dramatic decrease up to 💯percent relief!!

If you are looking for a natural way to help yourself with headaches and not rely on meds, and not just “mask” your symptoms, chiropractic care may be what you need.

Poor posture can cause more pressure to the discs of your spine causing degeneration.
What does that mean to you?
Your discs are your shock absorbers. So slowly as you age, you feel more pain and difficulty doing your favourite sports and activities.
Take care of your spine now, prevent the degenerative changes from appearing later on.
You will be happier!

Just reminding you if you are reading this at work today. A few stretches and a short walk around the office and return to your desk sitting upright and ready to go!

We are so happy for all our patients when they feel at their best! But when you recover from 3 discs herniations and you are a working mom, you know how that feels!!😀
