LiveWell Family Health Centre - Ottawa Wellness Chiropractors

Chiropractic Care Ottawa:

At LiveWell we believe chiropractic care in Ottawa is for everyone. Many people traditionally associate chiropractic care with the relief of back and neck pain. Although extremely beneficial for those conditions, at LiveWell we also promote and deliver wellness care. We know that true health involves much more than just the absence of pain and symptoms. It involves optimal functioning of our bodies on all levels, physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Chiropractic wellness care helps the body to maintain nervous system integrity so we can enjoy our lives to the fullest. Massage Therapy Ottawa:

Massage therapy has been used for centuries in both Western and Eastern cultures. Massage therapy uses basic mechanical hand movements to help relieve pain, reduce stress and promote healing by improving circulation, deepening relaxation and providing an increased sense of physical awareness and emotional well being. It is effective in controlling chronic or acute pain, reducing stress and creating a sense of relaxation and well being. Therapeutic massage is used to help obtain relief from many specific problems, including low back pain, migraine and muscle tension headaches, whiplash, and neck and shoulder tension to name a few. At LiveWell, our massage therapists employ an array of techniques to best suit the individual and their needs:

* Swedish Massage
* Hot Stone Massage
* Myofascial Release
* Pregnancy Massage (with body pillow)
* Infant Massage
* Trigger Point Therapy
* Joint Mobilization

A Massage Therapy treatment includes: case history taking, assessment and any modalities/treatment given as well as remedial exercise. All of the Therapists at LiveWell are registered by the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario (CMTO). Naturopathy Ottawa:

Naturopathic medicine is a primary health care system that uses natural therapies to support and stimulate the body’s innate ability to heal. Naturopathic medicine addresses the physical, mental, emotional, environmental and spiritual aspects of health to identify and treat the root cause of disease. Naturopathic doctors are primary care providers with a minimum of 7 years of post-secondary training in medical and clinical sciences. They integrate centuries-old knowledge of natural therapies with current advances in the understanding of health and human systems. Naturopathic doctors are trained in a wide array of therapies which include botanical medicine, homeopathy, physical medicine, acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine, nutrition, and lifestyle counseling. Natural Pharmacy in Ottawa

Vitamins and minerals are essential to life. Inadequate food due to nutrient-depleted soils, poor diet, malabsorption of nutrients, lowered gastrointestinal function due to medications, and stress, have all resulted in the increased need for nutritional supplementation, more so today than ever before. With our full-line Natural Pharmacy featuring top-quality brands Metagenics and Seroyal (Genestra), our professionals can help make healthy suggestions to enhance and support your tissues the way Nature intended. Custom Orthotics Ottawa

Orthotics are custom made inserts that comfortably fit into shoes or sandals. They are designed to support and improve the functioning of feet, and help re-establish normal mechanics for the feet, ankles, knees, hips and spine. Orthotics are prescribed to patients suffering from chronic foot, lower limb and low back problems or to athletes to help maximize performance during sport. They are often beneficial in the prevention of osteoarthritis of the knees and hips. The doctors at LiveWell have been developing orthotics in the community for a combined 20 years. The doctors have specialized training in the biomechanics of the foot and take special care in diagnosing any problems you may have. Our orthotics examination involves an analysis of your gait, thorough evaluation of the biomechanics of the lower extremities and finally traditional casting. This procedure allows us to fashion a truly “custom orthotic” to address each patients specific foot problems and/or needs. We also offer a large variety of brand name shoes (including New Balance, Rockport, Naot) with an incorporated orthotic.
