Chiropractor in Maple, Vaughan Ontario shows easy-to-do stretches to relieve neck pain and muscle tension.

Do you sit in front of the computer at work or at home for extended periods of time? Or, do you ever  wake up in the morning because of sleeping in a ‘bad’ position? 

These are two common scenarios that can cause neck pain or muscle tension in the neck and shoulder.  Chiropractic care for neck pain can be very effective at correcting the problem and giving neck pain relief and muscle tension relief. 

However, if you are looking for something to do at anytime during the day, some simple neck strectches can help.  Of course, if the problem is not getting better or getting worse, you should get it checked by a chiropractor.

Last month, Back To Health Chiropractic Centre launched it’s new clinic homepage, www.iBTHCC.com. The purpose for this homepage is to give people and prospective patients an introduction to the clinic and offer insight into some of the services it offers – such as corrective chirorpactic care, pediatric chiropractic care, pregnancy chiropractic care and wellness seminars.

“People may want to get the ‘look’ and ‘feel’ of a chiropractic office before coming in for an appointment”, says Dr. Walter Salubro, clinic owner and chiropractor.  “More importantly, they want to know how chiropractic can help with their specific condition, pain or problem.  The goal for our new homepage is to give people an idea of the type of chiropractic office we are and what to expect from their visit to our Centre”.

Back To Health Chiropractic Centre has been serving the people of Maple and Vaughan since 2001.  It is a family-wellness, children-friendly chiropractic centre that provides corrective chiropractic care to people of all ages.  Go check out the new homepage at www.iBTHCC.com.

Neck pain is a very common problem affecting up to 70% of the adult population at some point in life.  Though there are specific causes of neck pain such as arising from a sports injury, a car accident or “sleeping crooked,” the vast majority of the time, no direct cause can be identified and thus the term nonspecific is applied.

There are many symptoms associated with patients complaining of neck pain and many of these symptoms can be confused with other conditions.

Wouldn’t it be nice to know what neck related symptoms are most likely to respond to chiropractic manipulation before the treatment has started?  This issue has been investigated with very favorable results!

The ability to predict a favorable response to treatment has been termed, “clinical prediction rules” which in general, are usually made up of combinations of things the patient says and findings from exams. In a large study, data from about 20,000 patients receiving about 29,000 treatments, was collected and analyzed to find out what complaints responded well to chiropractic treatment.  The results showed that the presence of any 4 of these 7 presenting complaints predicted an immediate improvement in 70-95% of the patients: (more…)

Did you hear? Fox News reported about a man who suffered a heart attack while dining at a popular Las Vegas restaurant and the restaurant is called Heart Attack Grill.

Irony, you call it? Coincidence? Or was it a series of choices that led to an impactful wake-up call for this man? Luckily the paramedics arrived in time to help this man and reports say he is alive.

More then likely this wasn’t due to a one-time meal at a high-calorie restaurant but due to a series of choices that culminated in a traumatic and life-threatening incident.

At our clinic, Back To Health Chiropractic Centre, we teach about choices at our wellness workshops and lectures. I tell our patients that the choices you make today in life will shape your future.  And if you want to live a life of your dreams and vision, the choices you make today absolutely matter.  So you owe it to yourself to make the right choices for your health and your well-being, not just for now but for the rest of your life.

Maple (Vaughan), Ontario - It is common for people to seek treatment from chiropractors for low back pain, neck pain, headaches or even injuries from work and car accidents.  These are conditions that are mostly seen in adults.   Since a child will not typically complain of low back pain, neck pain or headaches, the parents may never see a reason to get their child checked by a chiropractor for a well exam or a spinal / posture check-up.   However, regardless of any pain or symptom, a child may have spinal misalignments or posture displacements that could be putting strain on their nervous system.  Since the nervous system controls and co-ordinates every function of the body, it’s imperative that the nervous system remains as stress-free as possible for optimal health, optimal growth and optimal body function.

Consider this … spinal misalignments can occur at any time throughout the child’s growth, development and life.

Here are the 10 top reasons for your child to have a chiropractic check-up:

 ”frequent headaches.”
“severe back ache.”
“constant migraines.”
“constant pain on a daily basis.”
“always in pain and discomfort”.
“strong neck and back pain.”
“powerful migraines.”     “always feeling exhausted.”    “a lot of pain and stress in the back of my neck”   “tired and had little energy”   “problems sleeping”   “at times unable to move”

These are the words that patients have used to describe their pain or how they were feeling before they started chiropractic care at Back To Health Chiropractic Centre.  Can you relate to any of these people’s conditions? Have you ever experienced any of them yourself? Read on…

Many expecting moms seek chiropractic care during their pregnancy.  More then low back pain relief, chiropractic care during pregnancy prepares the mom and the baby for an easier birth.

Today, I am writing a short book review of “Chiropractic First: The Fastest Growing Healthcare Choice … Before Drugs Or Surgery”, by Terry A. Rondberg, DC.  Dr. Rondberg is the CEO and founder of the World Chiropractic Alliance (WCA). 

If you are looking for a simple, yet thorough review and understanding of chiropractic, the chiropractic profession and how chiropractic works to help people get healthy and stay healthy, then “Chiropractic First” is a must read.  We keep a copy of this book in our reception area for our patients to read and we often give it away as a gift to patients.

“Chiropractic First” is a nice, easy-to-read and thorough review of what chiropractic is and how chiropractic helps people. The author does a super job of explaining the essence and purpose of chiropractic care, which is, the correction of nerve interference caused by subluxations (spinal misalignments).

When it comes to the human body, many people are curious to how organs and body systems work.  Well, this book goes on to describe the major organ systems of the body (like the heart, lungs, stomach), giving a simple explanation of their overall function. 

Of importance to people seeking a chiropractor for chiropractic care, the author explains what to expect during a typical chiropractic consultation, examination and the report of findings. This section is of great importance, especially for someone who is first visiting a chiropractor.

There is a nice overiew of the benefits of chirorpactic care for children and as well for the elderly. 

Dr. Rondberg also goes on to show some of the latest chiropractic research that was available at the time of publication. 

“Chiropractic First” is an easy read and I highly recommend it to anyone who has never been to a chiropractor.  It is also a very enlightening read for anyone who has or is currently seeing a chiropractor. Be sure to ask your family chiropractor about “Chiropractic First”, by Dr. Terry Rondberg.

On the theme of patient stories and successes, I love to hear how chiropractic makes profound changes for people and their lives, even when these stories come from other chiropractic collegues’ offices.  I invite you to watch this testimonial video by following the link below.  This video share is from a patient of Dr. Dan Yachter’s clinic who suffered of migraine headaches and back pain. I have had the extreme pleasure of listening to Dr. Dan speak at a chiropractic conference in Toronto in 2007.  Listen and see how chiropractic gave this person a better quality of life. 

Here is the video …
