1. Back Pain- for
relief and prevention.
Consumer Reports rated Chiropractic the #1 solution to lower back
pain over medical care, medications, acupuncture and physical therapy.
Numerous studies show how patients seeking chiropractic care for low back pain
get relief faster and better results that last longer over time.
2. Neck Pain-
relief and prevention.
Chiropractic’s history with neck pain is just as impressive as our results with lower back pain. Studies have found chiropractic patients recovered twice as fast as those receiving traditional medical care.

3.
Pain, Tingling and/or Numbness in an Extremity.
Patients who are suffering with sciatica (in legs or feet), or a cervical radiculopathy (in arm or hand) usually seek medical intervention first due to the pain and discomfort. Chiropractic can remove the irritation/ pressure on the nerves affected, thereby addressing the cause instead of covering up the symptoms. In most cases, Chiropractic can delay or even eliminate the need for drugs or surgery.

7.
Healthier Children.
More and more parents have been bringing their children to see the chiropractor for multiple reasons. Word of mouth of many success stories is travelling fast. Infants/Children have spines just like adults and they need checked. Much easier to fix small problems in children before they become big adult problems. Most treatment with infants and small children is with a gentle adjusting technique called the Activator.

8. INJURIES DUE TO CAR ACCIDENTS.
We have
many patients who have been helped after being injured in car accidents.
Chiropractic helps restore proper spinal/ extremity range of motion and
function. This usually takes care of the pain. We direct bill all MVA claims
and this can include massage therapy treatments.
9. Help
with Sleep.
Many people suffer from poor sleep quality due
to pain/ stress issues within the body. On top of causing sleep disruptions, it
can also lead to some of the other symptoms we’ve discussed so far. We all know
that a good night’s rest is one of the most important things we can give our
body, to allow it to recharge while we sleep. Treating body pain with
chiropractic therapy can help improve your quality of sleep, and thereby lead
to a reduction in other symptoms.
10. STRESS.
Let’s face
it, in today’s fast paced world, life is hectic and most of us probably feel
that we have too much going on. Stress is one of the most detrimental
conditions to suffer from, because while it originates in the mind, it very
often manifests physically in the body. Even if you don’t have pain,
chiropractic treatments can help reduce stress on your body and soul. Think of
it as a spa treatment – one that not only makes you feel good physically, but
also makes you feel better emotionally.

my favourites!
