✨Important Clinic Update✨

As of July 31st, I will no longer be providing care at Brown & Brown Family Chiropractic in Newcastle.

With my hours expanding at Precision Performance Therapy in Whitby & Oshawa, I’ve had to make the tough decision to step back from the Newcastle clinic. It’s been such a privilege to work in this amazing community, and I’m deeply grateful for being a part of your health and wellness journey.

The Good News? I’m excited to announce that beginning August 12th, I’ll be starting to see patients on Tuesday & Thursday afternoons at Lyons Performance & Recovery in Bowmanville!

All the details can be found on my website - https://www.drmackenzieclemens.ca/

For my existing patients looking to transfer care to Bowmanville, here’s what you can expect:
•New intake forms and a re-assessment are required, so please book a 45-minute extended appointment for your first visit - you'll only be charged the 30-minute rate as a courtesy
•Subsequent treatments will be available in 30, 45, or 60-minute sessions
•Direct billing is available for most insurance providers

I’m truly looking forward to providing care in this new space, and I’m here for any questions you may have about the transition. Please don’t hesitate to reach out!

With sincere gratitude,

Dr. Mackenzie Clemens🫶🏼

End of an era🍊🧡

It’s bittersweet to share that my coaching journey is coming to an end. With my chiropractic career taking off and the exciting opportunity to now work at a second clinic, I’ve made the tough decision to step down from my coaching position at OTF.

When I started 2.5 years ago, I had no idea what I was walking into. Coaching quickly became something I truly loved and gave me the opportunity to connect with some of the most incredible people. The members are what make this job so special, and I’m endlessly grateful for the energy, kindness, and support you’ve all shown me every single class🫶🏼

I’ll be coaching my final classes THIS Saturday. Hope to see ya there💪🏼

Why addressing the hips is an important part in managing back pain⬇️

Evaluating and treating hip function is essential for accurate diagnosis, effective treatment, and long-term relief in patients with back pain. Neglecting the hips could cause you to miss a major piece of the back pain puzzle🙅🏻‍♀️

1000m row, 150 reps of bodyweight exercises & 2.5km run in under 20 minutes. Who knew 20 minutes could be so draining?🥵

Pilates🧘🏻‍♀️🤸🏻🪴

Just finished an 8-week Clinical Pilates Series at Flow Physio & Wellness in downtown Bowmanville. 1 hour/week of mat Pilates designed to strengthen the body, improve mobility, and promote mind-body connection.

Highly recommend it! You may even be able to claim under your Physiotherapy benefits.

Thanks & 🫶🏼

🚨INFRARED THERAPY LAMP🚨

This lamp incorporates a mineral plate that is heated to ionize trace minerals.

The principle behind the mineral plate is that the heating of the minerals into their ionic state with an infrared warmer is what stimulates many of the body’s natural metabolic processes.

This lamp can be used in reducing inflammation, relieving pain, promoting blood circulation, improving microcirculation, and improving metabolism.

This is a great adjunct to any treatment💡

Neurofunctional Acupuncture & Scar Healing🌿

Did you know Neurofunctional Acupuncture (NA) can support your body in healing scars, promoting overall wellness? 🌱

Scars - whether from surgery, injury, or trauma - can create discomfort and dysfunction locally and throughout the body. After a wound or incision, there can be excessive fibroblast activity leading to dense, rigid scar tissue that impacts the muscles, joints, and nerves. This can restrict movement, impair blood flow, and slow down the healing process❤️‍🩹

NA is a powerful tool that can be used to address scars and improve both local tissue health and your body’s overall function💪🏼 For example, if you’re struggling with chronic knee or hip pain and have an old C-section scar, NA is worth investigating🫡

Here’s how it works:
✨Promotes healing by improving circulation of blood, oxygen and nutrients to the area
✨Decreases pain and sensitivity by releasing endorphins and stimulating local nerves
✨Improves mobility and function by releasing restrictions and regulating collagen synthesis

💬Have questions or ready to give this a try? Reach out today to book an appointment and learn more!

Perks of being a healthcare professional —> treating yourself❤️‍🔥⁣
⁣
Playing sports in your late 20s is realizing that your aches and pains that used to last a day, can now turn into persisting complaints if not properly taken care of👵🏻

I had been dealing with some nagging knee pain so decided to treat using cold laser therapy and acupuncture (limited to areas I can reach on myself lol). I used electrical stimulation on the quads and a couple points lower down in the legs, which can have the ability to trigger neurological and neurohormonal responses.
⁣
You can also see me stimulating a muscle afterwards with a one needle technique. The target muscle is the popliteus which is a deep muscle in the back of the knee that promotes the unlocking mechanism allowing the joint to bend. This movement can be seen in the video with my foot subtly turning in. Dealing with knee pain? Stimulating popliteus can be game-changing!⁣

I had immediate relief after treatment but the profound effects were noticed in the following 24-48 hours. Moving better, feeling better & got back to my beer league sports🏃🏻‍♀️
⁣
It’s been 2 years since I obtained my Neurofunctional Acupuncture certificate and it is single-handedly the most influential treatment intervention I’ve added to my toolbox. It has completely changed the way I assess and treat patients and the outcomes have been overwhelmingly positive. There’s a reason you see it being used all the time on professional athletes. ⁣

As always, feel free to DM with any questions🫶🏼
