Health Tip-Curcumin/Turmeric

Inflammation is a major source of pain, stiffness and a lack of function in our bodies at any age. Our bodies react to external factors by starting an inflammatory reaction which leads to healing, but sometimes it overreacts and the inflammation continues beyond when it is useful. Curcumin, the active constituent of Turmeric is an all natural anti inflammatory which can have whole body effects to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress. Whether you’re looking to age a little more gracefully with less aches and pains in your joints, struggle with an inflammatory gastrointestinal problem like IBS, have arthritis, pain or swelling in areas of your body or even if you have high cholesterol, Curcumin could be beneficial to improve your quality of life. Consuming turmeric at home is as easy as adding the fresh root to your cooking or even the dried powdered spice. If you would rather take a supplement we carry Curcumin supplements at our clinic and we would be happy to answer any questions you may have about this natural remedy.

Chiropractic and Your Kids

Adults aren’t the only ones who benefit from chiropractic care. Children and adolescence can also achieve significant improvements in neck pain, back pain and headaches. Whether these issues are caused by the strain on their bodies from long days sitting in school, playing sports, or spending a little too much time on devices, we can help! With a combination of education and chiropractic treatments children of all ages can live and play with less discomfort. Beyond that, maintaining children’s spinal health throughout their growth and development is very important, it allows us to catch important issues before they become more serious, and fix smaller problems before the developing body is forced to compensate for them. All of our chiropractors are happy to treat people of all ages including kids! If you have any questions about chiropractic care for children please call.

Health tip- Ergonomics

We know that work often is a source of strain on everyone’s body especially when working physically, but sitting still can be harder on our bodies than we might expect. Long sustained postures in non-ideal positions can increase headaches, back pain and muscle tension. Thats why it is important to take a look at the ergonomics in your workspace and optimize it for your body so that work doesn’t take its toll on you! In the picture you can see a depiction of a healthy workspace ergonomic, however, we understand that not everyone works at a desk. All of our chiropractors can discuss with you ways to optimize the ergonomics in your workplace whether you work at a desk, in a truck, or in the field.

Condition Spotlight-Scoliosis

A scoliosis is a lateral curvature of the spine greater than ten degrees, most often found in the thoracic and lumbar spine. These lateral curves change the biomechanics of the spine causing pain, decreased mobility and with severe cases even heart and lung issues. The vast majority of scoliosis occur in adolescence and effect 1-2% of the population although it is much more common in females. Because of the long term effects of scoliosis it is important to catch them early because there are treatments which can slow the progression of the curves, improving the patients health outcomes long term. Spinal screenings of children before and during their early teenage years can detect scoliosis and allow for effective management. All of our chiropractors can perform these screenings and make recommendations for management of a scoliosis if it is detected.

Supplement to Watch-Vitamin B Complex

Among our essential vitamins, those nutrients that are necessary for life, there are the B vitamins. A group of 8 water soluble vitamins which are essential for nervous system function, the synthesis of neurotransmitters, many cellular pathways and are cofactors for a variety of enzymes involved in many processes including the production of our DNA. While generally found in a well balanced diet, deficits often occur, which can lead to neurological problems, cognitive issues, energy depletion and even the development of disease. If your diet isn’t able to provide the needed nutrients, there are supplements called Vitamin B complexes which contain the doses of each vitamin to ensure that you never reach a deficit. Further than just preventing a deficit, B Complex supplementation has been shown to increase energy and endurance in exercise while slowing down muscle fatigue. It’s also has been shown to improve energy, mental function and physical well-being in healthy patients. Even more impressive, Vitamin B Complexes may have a positive effect on slowing and even preventing age related cognitive decline leading to dementia. For your convenience we carry a high quality Vitamin B complex in our clinic, ask your chiropractor if you have any questions!

New Product Alert!

Shakti Mats are based on the ancient wisdom of an Indian bed of nails. Based on the concept of acupressure, each mat works by applying pin point pressure to between four and eight thousand points on your body. This pressure works to stimulate your nervous system, relaxing your body in just 20 minutes. Shakti mats are used to improve sleep, relieve aches and pains, reduce muscle tension, stress reduction, headache and migraine relief, and so much more. Other products include an acupressure pillow, acupressure headband, weighted wrap and eye pillow. The mats and pillows come in three different intensities and multiple colours.

Condition Spotlight-Lumbar Disc Herniation’s With Radiculopathy (Sciatica)

While they are not the only cause, a very common cause of sciatica is a lumbar disc herniation. A disc herniation occurs from repetitive stress on the spine and disc which wears and tears fibres in the exterior surface of the disc called the annulus fibrosis. Over time, these tears can become large enough that part of the inner material the nucleus pulposis in the disc is able to herniate out through the tear. These herniation can put pressure on the nerve roots as they exit the spine and cause radicular symptoms which are nerve pain, numbness, tingling and weakness into the affected leg, this is often referred to as sciatica. Standard medical treatment for a disc herniation is medications or a surgical intervention. In our clinic, all of our chiropractors are trained in Neuromobilization, an advanced, non invasive technique which has been shown to decrease pain and improve function in patients who deal with radicular pain. Book an appointment with one of our chiropractors to find out if Neuromobilization or other treatments are right for your back and leg pain.
