At Back2Health Chiropractic, all the therapists on staff are trained to treat a myriad of body pains quickly and effectively through an impressive array of manual therapies, from Chiropractic adjustments to Trigenics Functional Neurology and CranioSacral therapy.
We address more than just back pain or neck pain. We work on shoulders, rotator cuff injuries, running injuries, headaches, foot problems, etc. We incorporate a lot of soft tissue work in our treatment sessions so we can deal with repetitive strain injuries and similar issues directly. Some patients describe our sessions as physio, massage and chiropractic all rolled up into one.
Back2Health chiropractic treatment sessions are usually booked in 20- to 30-minute increments, giving the doctors enough time to incorporate a more holistic approach to healing the entire body. Patients often walk out of the office saying they feel lighter, taller, stronger or more stable.
The benefits?
One of the main benefits to visiting a chiropractor is pain relief. Whether its from an acute injury like a sprain, strain, fall or twisting incident or a more chronic, repetitive issue we dont turn anyone away. If we cant provide our patients with significant relief within a few sessions, we provide them with other options.
With sunny days turning the city into a figurative race track, athletic injuries are becoming more common in their clinic especially for the weekend warriors. So, the doctors at Back2Health encourage regular tune ups to help shift your body into high gear.
The idea of coming in regularly is very similar to the analogy of working out to get into shape. You dont just go to the gym once, have a workout and then say, There you go. Im done. Im in shape now. You have to make a consistent effort to try to change the body from the way it is, to the way you want it to be. Health is not an event; its a process.
To change the way the body works and feels, proactive treatments are the key instead of only reacting when something hurts.
Dr. Guenette, the clinic owner, says, If you want your body to run like a Formula One race car, you need to be tuned up a lot more often to stay in that kind of shape and that kind of performance. On the other hand, if you need your body to function more like a family car something you need to simply take you from point A to point B you still need to check in every once in a while; you just dont need as much fine-tuning.
Want to find out what causes all that tension and pain?
Most are surprised when I tell them over 80 per cent of the people who come into my office in pain have no idea what caused it. When we look at their typical behaviour patterns it becomes a lot more obvious: mental/emotional stress plays a big role. At Back2Health, we also address this stress component.
At Back2Health, we know everyone possesses the capacity to feel their best; each of us just needs a little nudge every once in a while whether its to the mind or body to help keep us on track.
