Is chiropractic care safe for children and the elderly?

Yes! Chiropractic care is tailored to suit the age, size, and health condition of each individual.

For children, adjustments are gentle and modified for growing bodies.
For older adults, care is low-force and carefully adapted to manage age-related conditions like arthritis, joint stiffness, and reduced
mobility.

Every spine deserves support, at every stage of life.

Boost your magnesium intake for better spinal health!

Magnesium is a vital mineral that helps relax muscles, reduce inflammation, and promote nerve function - all of which play a crucial role in keeping your spine and nervous system healthy.

Why is magnesium important?
- It helps prevent muscle cramps and spasms, reducing tension around the spine
- It supports healthy bone density
- It plays a role in nerve function, helping to transmit signals from the brain to your muscles
- It contributes to overall relaxation and stress reduction, essential for spinal health

Foods rich in magnesium:
- Leafy greens (spinach, kale)
- Avocados
- Almonds and other nuts
- Bananas
- Pumpkin seeds
- Dark chocolate (in moderation!)

Incorporate these into your diet to support your body and spine, and feel the difference!

What type of treatment can I expect from my CASA-registered chiropractor for whiplash?

The goal of your practitioner is to reduce pain and get you back to normal activity as soon as possible. These treatments help you
to feel and move better.

Your chiropractor may choose a myriad of treatment protocols specific for you, which may include (but are not limited to):
• Cold therapy
• Ultrasound or electromodalities
• Massage/soft tissue work
• And of course manipulation and/or mobilisation to affected joints

Remember that not all whiplash injuries are created equally and that your treatment will be designed for you based on the findings
of your medical history and examination.

A common cause for back injuries is poor lifting techniques in the workplace and home.
Sometimes lifting your child into your arms or moving a small box can send you into a frenzy of pain and discomfort.
Here are some great tips to consider if you are lifting objects:

• Think about the lift before you do it. If you know the parcel is too heavy for one person, ask for help.
• Don’t bend at your back when lifting. Rather use your legs.
• Do not twist your body while lifting objects. Keep your body straight and use your feet to turn around if you need to change direction instead of twisting from your waist.
