Tips You Need to Know on How to Stay Healthy During Cold and Flu Season
It's that time of year again, Victoria…The dreaded cold and flu season is rearing it's ugly head and it seems that almost everyone around me is coughing, sneezing and feeling pretty miserable. It remains unclear why people tend to get sick around this time of year, but it has been recently proposed that the flu virus can live longer in cold and dry air, which coincides with the drop in temperatures that occur in late fall and winter.

Neck Pain? Seeing a Chiropractor is a Safe and Effective Way to Treat this Problem!
Once in a while, a patient will come into my office concerned about getting an adjustment on their neck. So I decided to write this blog post to answer some questions that you may have. First and foremost, every single patient that I treat will get a comprehensive exam that I use to determine whether they will be a good candidate for chiropractic care. A neck adjustment is a precise procedure, generally applied by hand. It has been shown to improve joint mobility in the neck, restoring range of motion and reducing muscle tightness, thereby relieving pressure and tension.

Have You Tried Spinal Decompression Therapy?
According to Statistics Canada, back and neck problems are among the most chronic conditions that as many as 80% of the population will suffer from. This can be characterized by a range of symptoms including: pain, muscle tension or stiffness, and numbness, tingling, weakness and/or burning that often travels down the leg (sciatica). Often, medication or surgical intervention is the recommended treatment, however, many people are looking for non invasive alternatives that pose less of a risk to their health.

Can’t I just adjust myself?
A common question that many people ask me is "can't I just adjust myself"? The simple answer is No! Not even a chiropractor can adjust themselves. Before I adjust any of my patients, I always take a detailed exam to properly ensure that the correct joint is being adjusted. Think about this: the bones in your back and neck can be misaligned in a variety of ways. They can actually move in more than 12 different directions. Chiropractors are specialized in diagnosing which bones are "stuck" in the wrong place and how to properly adjust it back into its proper position. If you adjust your own back and neck, you might actually be moving it further out of position.

Sciatica is inflammation or compression of the sciatic nerve, which is the largest nerve in your entire body! It originates in the low back and travels down the buttocks to the backs of the legs, and even sends branches of the nerve across the knee and into the feet! People suffering from sciatica have symptoms, which may include: pain, numbness, tingling and muscle weakness in some or all of these areas of the body.
