Chiropractic is a natural approach to health care which promotes the health of your spinal joints and nervous system.
Chiropractors are trained to assess your spine for joint and nerve dysfunction and muscle imbalance. Problems in these joints can present with pain, such as headache, backache, numbness and tingling in the arms and legs, but often show up as just a feeling of stiffness or loss of mobility. Chiropractors are also trained extensively in treating sport injuries and rehabilitating injuries due to motor vehicle accidents and work place injuries.
Chiropractic is safe and appropriate for everyone, newborn to senior. At Nottawasaga Chiropractic & Wellness Centre, we offer a wide range of techniques to maximize comfort and effectiveness for our patients. More... |

Headaches and Neck Pain |

Can a chiropractor really get rid of my headaches?
It will help to understand what causes most headaches. Your spine protects your nervous system which starts with the brain and becomes the spinal cord. When the vertebrae in your neck are unable to move properly, it irritates or puts pressure on the nerves in that area. That can cause headaches.
To correct this problem (called a subluxation) a chiropractor gently adjusts the vertebrae. Since most headaches are caused by subluxations, they will soon disappear. More... |

Chiropractic and Pregnancy |
|---|
Why is my back aching all the time these days?
There are few things in life that put more stress on your spine than pregnancy. Your spine must adapt to posture and weight changes with each passing month and commonly the uncomfortable result is lower back pain. Many women have come to accept that back pain accompanies pregnancy and menstrual cycles. But it shouldn't have to. Your body was made to compensate and adapt naturally to pregnancy and if you are experiencing aches and pains, something is wrong and needs to be addressed. Not just for you but for your developing and growing child as well. More... |
