As warmer weather encourages more outdoor activities like gardening and sports, regular chiropractic & osteopathic treatment can realign the spine, improve posture, enhance flexibility, and ensure the body functions efficiently to meet new physical demands. 🤸‍♀️

Increased Activity & Injury Prevention:

Spring often involves a significant increase in physical activity after winter, such as gardening, yard work, and various outdoor sports. Treatment ensures your body is properly aligned, which minimizes strain on muscles, joints, and ligaments, thereby reducing the risk of injuries like sprains and strains.

Improved Mobility & Reduced Stiffness:

Returning to a more active routine can be challenging for a body that has been less active. Treatment can help improve the body's mobility and ease stiffness by realigning the spine, which can reduce tension in muscles and joints.

Better Posture:

Engaging in spring activities like gardening and house cleaning can put strain on your posture. Treatment can help correct misalignments, which in turn promotes better posture and reduces strain on your spine.

Pain Relief:

Treatment can alleviate discomfort and pain that often arise from increased physical activity or from specific seasonal activities.

Enhanced Overall Health & Well-being:

A properly aligned spine and nervous system supports the body's overall function. This can lead to improved circulation, increased energy levels, and a greater sense of well-being as you enjoy the spring season.

Chiropractic care may help improve balance by correcting spinal misalignments and restoring proper nervous system function, which can enhance body-brain communication and muscle coordination.

Through spinal adjustments, exercise advice, and posture correction, we aim to re-establish the body's natural equilibrium and stability. However, effectiveness varies by underlying cause, so consulting a chiropractor for an evaluation is essential to determine if chiropractic care is appropriate for your specific balance issues.

A chiropractor's primary focus is on the musculoskeletal system, particularly the spine and joints. By adjusting misalignments or dysfunctions, they can restore the body's optimal working ability, which is crucial for maintaining balance and coordination.

𝙀𝙣𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙨 𝙉𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙤𝙪𝙨 𝙎𝙮𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙢 𝙁𝙪𝙣𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣: 🤸
The nervous system is responsible for coordinating balance and movement. By ensuring proper spinal alignment, chiropractic care can help improve the connection between the brain and the rest of the body, leading to better balance.

𝙄𝙢𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙨 𝘽𝙤𝙙𝙮 𝘼𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 (𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙘𝙚𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣): 🧠
A properly functioning musculoskeletal and nervous system allows for better proprioception, the body's ability to sense its position and movement in space. This improved body awareness helps prevent falls and enhances stability.

Balance problems can stem from various issues, including spinal dysfunction or pain. Chiropractic care addresses these root causes through a holistic approach, aiming to restore overall bodily harmony and function.

We may recommend specific exercises and stretches to improve posture, flexibility, and strength, supporting better balance.

Beyond adjustments, chiropractors may provide advice on posture, ergonomics, sleep, and nutrition to support long-term balance and well-being.

Pain does not have to be a part of your dance routine. If you are considering a drug-free treatment for your dance-related injuries, we can help. We not only treat your muscles and joint injuries, but also advise you on how injuries can be avoided so that you spend more time on the stage. 🎭

A dancer’s injuries are rarely singular – they don’t just affect a muscle or one joint but rather a group of muscles or joints. As a result, we can stop potential problems and pain by nipping it in the bud early. 🩰

The most common types of injuries seen in dancers are all injuries you can imagine – wrist, back, neck, hip, pelvis, knees, ankles, and even toes. The good news is, all of these can be treated by appropriate care. Also, you might think that injuries are a result of accidents while dancing like twisting a joint, falling or slipping while in action, or something similar. However, most dancing injuries creep up slowly due to constant wear and tear on the body. Unresolved injuries may lead to premature degenerative change. 🎼

Getting your body periodically assessed by us can help protect the spine and related muscles or tissues before an actual, painful injury develops. 🎹

De Quervain’s tenosynovitis is painful inflammation around your thumb tendons. It’s also called de Quervain’s tendinosis or de Quervain’s tendinitis.

Tendons link your muscles to your bones. They’re cords of strong, flexible tissue, similar to a rope. When you contract (squeeze) a muscle, tendons pull the bones they’re attached to and make them move. Two tendons connect your thumb to your wrist.

Usually, tendons slide easily through a tunnel of tissue called a sheath. De Quervain’s tenosynovitis happens when something makes the sheath around your thumb tendons swell or thicken. This swelling causes extra friction when you use your thumb and wrist. When this happens, certain thumb and wrist motions are painful and more difficult. De Quervain’s tenosynovitis usually causes pain near the base of your thumb that can extend (radiate) into your forearm.

The most common de Quervain’s tenosynovitis symptom is pain in your wrist on the same side as your thumb (the radial side). Some people notice the pain suddenly or all at once, but it can also develop over time. The pain usually:

✅ Gets worse while you’re using your hand, wrist and thumb.
✅ Spreads (radiates) from your wrist into your thumb or forearm.
✅ Gets worse when you’re gripping or pinching objects.

Other symptoms include:

✅ Swelling.
✅ A snapping or popping feeling in your wrist when you move your thumb.
✅ Stiffness or your thumb feeling less smooth.
✅ Numbness in your wrist or thumb.

Here at the Horne Street Chiropractic & Osteopathy Clinic, we can help you on your healing journey. With the use of Cold Laser therapy, acupuncture and dry needling, we can help reduce your pain and put you on the right track!
