Muscle Imbalances/Weakness are a leading cause of injury

Let’s keep you steady and strong

As we age, maintaining independence is the ultimate goal. However, according to the textbook Therapeutic Exercise by Kisner and Colby (Chapter 8), falls are not just accidents, they are a "major cause of morbidity, mortality, and premature nursing home admissions" for persons over age 65.

The authors identify specific risk factors that lead to these incidents, many of which we can address directly:

Muscle weakness
Gait deficits
Arthritis
History of falls

At Guardian Family Chiropractic, we don't just treat pain; we work to reduce these specific risks. By improving your structural alignment, we can help correct muscle weakness and gait issues, keeping you active and safe in the Niagara Community.

Don't wait for a warning sign. As a dedicated chiropractor in St. Catharines, we are here to help you strengthen your body against these deficits.

Our online booking system makes it quick and easy to find a time that works for you. You can use the link included in this email or visit our website at any time to book.

Thank you for allowing us to be part of your health journey. It’s an honour to serve you.

☀️❄️ Without the cold, would we truly appreciate the warmth?
​
They say that life is defined by contrast.

​This is our view at Guardian Family Chiropractic, same lamp post, same location at 127 Church St., but two completely different worlds.

​On the left, we have the warm, welcoming glow of summer. On the right, the elegant, quiet stillness of a St. Catharines winter.

​It is a reminder that change is the only constant.
One season leads us to appreciate the other. The cold of winter makes the summer sun feel sweeter, and the busyness of summer makes the winter rest feel necessary.

​Change is what makes life feel real. It challenges us, it moves us, and it helps us grow.

​No matter which season you are in, physically or emotionally, it is important to embrace the change and find the beauty in where you are right now.
​We are honored to stand here as a constant for you through every season.

🛑 You wouldn't ignore a misaligned wheel. Don't ignore a misaligned spine 🛑
​
We all know what happens if you drive a car with bad alignment, especially after hitting a few potholes or sliding on icy roads. The tires wear out unevenly, and eventually, something breaks.

​This past week, your body has been "off-roading."

​Between the repetitive motion of shoveling that snow and the tension of navigating slippery side streets in the Niagara Community, your structural alignment has likely taken a beating.

​As the quote in the photo reminds us: You can easily see the wear and tear on a tire, but you can't always see the wear and tear on your spine... until the pain sets in.

​The Strategy:
You can buy new tires, but you only get one spine. If you are feeling stiff, "locked up," or just out of balance this week, don't wait for a breakdown.
​Come in for a post-storm "tune-up." We will check your alignment, relieve the pressure, and get you back on the road safely.

Checking in on everyone after the snow! ❄️
Our Office is Open & Warm. Drive Safe, Everyone!

I hope you are all staying safe. That was a lot of snow! Even though it was light, the repetitive motion of clearing it multiple times takes a real toll on your back and shoulders.

I know many side streets in the Niagara Community are still packed and tricky, so please drive carefully if you do head out.

However, if you are hurting and can travel safely, we are here to help.

We are OPEN today.

We want to make sure a snow day doesn't turn into a week of back pain.

Office: Warm & Open
Focus: Your Recovery

Booking is easy, visit our website or call/text us to reserve a time that works for you.

We know the weather is severe across St. Catharines and the Niagara Community today. We hope you are staying safe!

We are sending a quick note to let you know that Guardian Family
Chiropractic remains OPEN today.

Since many of you will be heading out to clear driveways later, I wanted to share three quick reminders to help you avoid the "shoveler’s back" injuries we often see after storms like this:

1. Warm Up First: Cold muscles are much more prone to injury. Take 5 minutes to walk around your house or do some light stretching before you head out into the cold.

2. Push, Don't Lift: Whenever possible, push the snow to the side rather than lifting it. If you must lift, bend your knees, keep your back straight, and keep the shovel close to your body.

3. Pivot, Don't Twist: The most common cause of disc injury is twisting while holding a heavy load. Move your feet to turn your whole body instead of twisting your spine to throw the snow.

Please be careful out there. We are here to help if you need us.
Our online booking system makes it quick and easy to find a time that works for you. You can use the link included in this email or visit our website at any time to book.
