Chiropractic Patients – Who I Care For

From headaches, neck pain, back pain and nerve pain to sciatica, sports injuries, whiplash and more, I offer several chiropractic therapies to help you get back to a pain-free life. Our family chiropractic practice serves a range of people, including seniors, babies, kids, pregnant women, athletes, civil servants, trades people, as well as those on disability, workers compensation and ICBC claimants throughout Greater Victoria and the Gulf Islands.

Chiropractic Care for Pregnant and Postpartum Moms

Pregnancy is an amazing journey. Your body is going through physical and hormonal changes to adapt to your precious cargo. But the extra stress on your spine commonly results in back, rib, hip, and leg pain. Getting periodic check ups and spinal adjustments when you’re pregnant can relieve symptoms and help you have a more comfortable and enjoyable pregnancy. After the birth, chiropractic treatment helps keep you feeling your best, both physically and emotionally.

Chiropractic Care for Babies

Imagine trying to squeeze through a tunnel in a contorted position for hours on end. That’s the birthing process for most of us, which, while completely natural, can put tremendous stress on baby’s spine. Many of our adult spinal problems can start out at birth. A baby that has problems turning to the side can provoke nursing problems. Spinal or cranial misalignment from birth can also lead to sleep issues and impair healthy spinal development. The good news is that I can address many of these issues. I use special techniques to make adjustments safe and comfortable for your baby.

Chiropractic Care for Kids

More parents are coming into my practice with kids as a result of a success story from another parent. Your child’s proper spine development is crucial for maintaining lifelong wellness. A visit to my office can not only provide pain relief from an injury or fall, but also is a good opportunity for us to talk about the benefits of good posture for your child.

Chiropractic Care for Seniors

Staying healthy requires more than simply reacting to pain — it takes an active lifestyle focused on wellness and prevention. My chiropractic approach for seniors focuses on promoting healthy aging through proper spinal alignment and soft tissue release, as well as proper exercise and nutrition. With a periodic program of chiropractic care, you can experience these direct benefits:

Reduce or eliminate chronic neck, nerve or back pain
Increase your spinal range of motion, allowing you to pick up grandchildren, swing a golf club, etc
Improve balance and coordination, reducing the risk of falls
More energy for exercise and other activities
Better and deeper sleep, resulting in greater alertness and well-being

This is just a sampling of the more common responses experienced by many of my senior clients.Give us a shout to learn how you can benefit too.

Chiropractic Care for Employers & Employees

What is the greatest occupational hazard of the 21st century? It’s not stress. It’s the computer. More postural and repetitive strain injuries result from prolonged computer use than any other workplace activity. Other common workplace injuries come from lifting, falls, or twisting improperly. With an extensive background in human biomechanics and ergonomics, I have a in depth understanding of the causes of workplace injuries, and how to prevent them. I will come to your workplace and present an active and fun ‘lunch and learn’ seminar that is tailored to your needs — from workstation ergonomics to safe lifting techniques to ways to do quick and easy stretches and exercise that reduce stress, improve energy and decrease injuries. Contact us today to learn more about my employer chiropractic plans.
