Osteoarthritis (OA)

What is Osteoarthritis (OA)?
OA is a degenerative condition that affects the joints. OA usually affects people over the age of 45, but it can also develop in younger people. Although we often think of shoulders, hips and knees when we hear about "arthritis", the spine is a common site for these degenerative changes, which makes your chiropractor a valuable partner in the ongoing management of this condition.
How Safe Is Chiropractic Treatment?

Chiropractic has a well-documented history as an extremely safe and effective method of drug-free health care since the late 1800's. However, there are still some concerns that are raised by members of the media and medical practitioners.
While we do not know the reason for these opinions, we will focus on the facts that are easily found in the scientific journals published around the world.
Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction

A painful sacroiliac joint is one of the more common causes of mechanical low back pain. Sacroiliac joint dysfunction may occur from excessive forces being applied to the sacroiliac joint. This can be from bending, sitting, lifting, arching or twisting movements of the spine, or, from weight bearing forces associated with running or jumping. Injury to the sacroiliac joint may occur traumatically or due to repetitive or prolonged forces over time.

Stay Healthy During The Festive Season
It's that time of year again. It's not called the silly season for no reason. Partying, drinking, indulging, overeating and running around like a headless chicken from event-to-event and shop-to-shop, it's no wonder many of us feel tired, rundown, overweight and stressed as the new year comes around.Mid Back Pain and Chiropractic Care

Iliotibial Band Syndrome

ITBS is commonly labelled as an "overuse" injury. However this is really a misnomer, as it is generally not the fact that the knee is being used too much but rather that there are predisposing biomechanical factors causing injury with even appropriate levels of training.
Most cases of Iliotibial band syndrome settle well with appropriate Chiropractic care. This requires careful assessment by the Chiropractor to determine which factors have contributed to the development of the condition, with subsequent correction of these factors.
Sciatica

Sciatica is most commonly a result of a misaligned lower spine that is pinching the root of the sciatic nerve. This subluxation can apply a good deal of pressure on the sciatic nerve and cause severe pain. Pain can either be dull and aching or can be a shooting pain down the leg all the way to the toes. This pain can last for several days or weeks or it can subside for even a few hours. However, someone who has had sciatica for a long period of time will find that the pain localises in the buttock and thigh. In severe cases it can damage nerves and reflexes or cause the calf muscle to deteriorate.
Kids + Technology

Your back has 3 natural curves, cervical, thoracic and lumbar; they rely on proper posture to maintain these curves. Good posture remains crucial from childhood into adulthood, because the proper alignment allows your spine to do what it was designed to do. When the three curves aren't supported properly, muscles and ligaments must do the work the spine should be doing. This, in turn, puts stress on those over-taxed body parts.
