Who We Help
When you have a subluxation in the nervous system, it can manifest itself in many different symptoms, including:
- Back Pain: Lower and upper back pain can be caused by a number of problems, including muscle strains, poor posture and lifestyle factors, like tech use and ergonomics, ligament sprains, disc issues and other underlying medical conditions.
- Neck Pain: If you are experiencing neck pain, you aren’t alone. Our increased use of technology, poor posture, past injuries, muscle strain, poor sleep behaviour and tension in the muscles can all lead to neck pain.
- Headaches & Migraines: If you suffer from headaches or migraines, you know they interrupt life and keep us from enjoying it. Headaches and migraines are often a sign of a subluxation within the nervous system and chiropractic treatments can help alleviate the symptoms and deal with the cause issues.
- Shoulder Pain: Shoulder pain can be caused by problems like old injuries, poor posture and working for long hours while seated in an ergonomically incorrect position. It can lead to numbing of the hands, pain in the joints and make it impossible to sleep well.
- TMJ: The temporomandibular joints (TMJ) are the two joints that connect your lower jaw to your skull. Pain in this area can come from misalignments and result in clenching your jaw and grinding your teeth, among other symptoms. Chiropractic can help bring your jaw and neck back into alignment and alleviate the symptoms.
- Asthma, Breathing Issues: Asthma affects the lungs and causes repeated episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness and coughing. Chiropractic treatments help reduce inflammation, which can lessen asthmatic symptoms.
- Carpal Tunnel: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome causes numbness, tingling, and pain in the hand and forearm. A visit to Dr Malcolm and his team will lessen the interference in your spine, hand and arm, helping improve circulation, which can help reduce the symptoms of carpal tunnel.
- Arthritis: Arthritis is an inflammation of or swelling in one or more joints. Chiropractic helps lessen inflammation, which, in turn, reduces the symptoms experienced by arthritis sufferers.
- Heel Spurs: Heel spurs are bony growths caused by a calcium deposit. If you put extra stress on your feet, through athletics or because of your career, carrying extra weight or even wearing shoes without proper support, heel spurs can occur. Treatment can help increase your range of motion in the foot.
- Range of Motion/Flexibility: An adjustment from Dr Malcolm or a member of his team will help realign the bones and joints, and, in turn, can help restore range of motion and improve flexibility.
- Posture: Poor posture can affect every part of your body, causing further complications in the back, neck, limbs, joints and nervous system. Treatments can help realign the body and improve your posture.
- Scoliosis Management: Scoliosis is a sideways curve of the spine. Treatment through chiropractic can help reduce inflammation and improve spinal alignment.
- Disc problems: Disc degeneration and herniation can be caused by any number of reasons, but the end result is the same: a nagging pain, making it impossible to enjoy life. Chiropractic can help alleviate the pain.
- Sciatica: Sciatica can be caused by injury or pressure on the sciatic nerve and results in pain, weakness, numbness or tingling in the leg and parts of the lower back. Chiropractic can help alleviate those symptoms.
