ATHLETES, WORKERS, AND CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Not being able to participate in sport, recreational, and essential work activities can dramatically affect an individual's quality of life. Chiropractors have the knowledge and expertise to provide individuals with an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan for complaints of the musculoskeletal system (joints, muscles, tendons, nerves and bones). Whether it be treatment of a specific condition, guiding someone toward a safe return to activity, or implementing strategies to prevent future recurrences, chiropractic care can play an important role in keeping people active and injury free.
CHILDREN AND CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Learning to walk, riding a bicycle, and other childhood activities can cause structural problems. Just as you would not wait to bring your child to a dentist until they have their first cavity, it is not wise to wait until your child develops symptoms of structural problems before considering a preventative approach to structural health. Regular chiropractic checkups can identify those problems and help avoid chronic complaints later in life. Naturally, chiropractic procedures, including examination and treatment are modified for children, offering them an enjoyable, safe, and therapeutic experience.
ADULTS AND CHIROPRACTIC CARE
The accumulation of structural stresses over the years, both large and small can result in symptoms. Often these symptoms come on gradually without any apparent cause. Symptoms always have a cause, and this is usually an end point where the body actually tells us that something is wrong. The absence of symptoms does not necessarily indicate that we are healthy. This is why many chiropractic patients throughout the years have taken a proactive role in their health and benefited from maintenance or preventative chiropractic care. This maintenance and preventative approach to structural health keeps individuals as mobile as possible, and eases the effects of ageing as the years pass.
SENIORS AND CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Aging is a natural and normal process, and as time passes there are structural changes that occur. The wear and tear of the years begins to present with reduced joint motion and flexibility, which is why pain and stiffness are two of the most frequent complaints in older individuals. Integrated chiropractic treatment at the New Hamburg Wellness Centre has helped many seniors realize that pain and stiffness does not have to be a fact of life.
PREGNANCY AND CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Pregnancy is a time of tremendous musculoskeletal, physical, and emotional change. Chiropractic care during pregnancy can be of great benefit to deal with structural complaints arising from a women’s changing center of gravity, and hormonal changes which will make joint structures, namely ligaments, more flexible. These physical changes put increased stress and pressure on weight-bearing joints, spinal discs, muscles, and nerves. Chiropractic care helps ensure optimal biomechanical functioning, allowing females great relief during the term of their pregnancy.
Chiropractic is one of the largest primary contact health professions in Canada. Approximately four and a half million Canadians use the services of a chiropractor each year. People visit chiropractors for many reasons. Some require chiropractic care for a specific pain problem, while others look to chiropractic care as a way to facilitate better health, increase energy, have a higher resistance to illness, improve sports performance, or for prevention and maintenance measures. Whatever the reason, chiropractic care is safe and effective!
