Benefit of Chiropractic Care
Consider your spine as the trunk of a big tree. It coordinates all the muscle and nerve system of your body. With everyday task and requiring exertion, you spine can easily and unexpectedly move out of alignment. When this happens, you are at greater risk for injury, stiffness and/or reduced performance. Spinal misalignment can result in poor posture and pain, which affects everything from energy levels and your ability to fight disease. So, who can benefit from Chiropractic Care?

Office Workers
Do you suffer from constant neck pain? Do you wake up with lower back stiffness? Day to day repetitive motions while sitting in one position throughout six to eight working hours is the root of many neck and back problems. Many office workers experience issues with balance and coordination after working in the same position, such as hunched over a computer keyboard for extended periods. Common posture problems included:
Forward Head Posture: the most common postural issue found in computer operators. Imagine hanging a bowling ball around your neck, and for every inch your head posture sits forward the shoulder, the head gains 10 pounds in weight. Not only does this forces the muscle in your upper back and neck to work harder to support the head, this great tension decreases your respiratory muscle strength, increases frequency of headaches, as well as blood pressure.
Round Shoulders: often associated with office workers and computer operators. This poor posture is usually the result of slouching caused by fatigue or sitting in front of computer for extended period. Rounded Shoulders can strain the muscles between the shoulder blades, causing upper back pain, or compresses your diaphragm, that leads to shallow breathing.
Rotated Hips: caused by holding a poor position for a long period of time, such as sitting at your desk twisting to write as well as looking at the computer with your legs crossed. Long term uneven hip posture can lead to muscle imbalances and stress on the lumbar spine, sacrum and pelvis. Misalignments of the lumbar spine may affect the proper functioning of the nerves, which can lead to numbness, tingling and associated pain.
In severe cases, long term bad posture can lead to Scoliosis, a condition that results in the spine twisting from left to right, instead of running in a straight line from top to bottom. Depending on the severity, scoliosis of the spine can have a detrimental impact on vital organs, such as your heart, liver and kidneys.
Our clinic provides chiropractic adjustments and ergonomic advice to help correct the stiffness and pain commonly associated with office work, thus improve your working ability as well as the work environment.

Teachers / Retail Employees
Persons that work on their feet all day put an enormous amount of strain on their backs. This can be further complicated when the job requires lifting heavy items or reaching down to attend to children, for example. W can help to ensure that the spine is adjusted properly to absorb much of this strain and correct misalignment that causes pain. We also provide computerize foot scans to help patients visualize and understand the concept that a stable platform for the entire body from feet up is vital to their long-term health.
Pregnant Women
There are no known contraindications to chiropractic care throughout pregnancy. Pregnancy can cause a great deal of pressure on the nerves in the back that help in facilitating natural birth. Chiropractic adjustments can relieve this pressure and in conjunction with stretching and strengthening exercises, can create a less stressful pregnancy and birth.
