Chiropractic
The term chiropractic literally means practicing using the hands. Chiropractic is about treating the root of the problem, not the symptoms. Chiropractors are professionals trained to take thorough history, diagnose and treat neck, back, headaches and other musculoskeletal conditions also including extremities (arms and legs). Spinal manipulation is known for giving quick and long lasting relief by aligning the segments of the spine, clearing any nerves that might have been irritated. Chiropractic care also helps correct poor posture along with offering ergonomic, nutritional lifestyle counselling that could be a factor for the symptoms. Chiropractic is also about preventive care, educating you how to prevent yourself from reinjuring.
As for someone who does not have severe pain, you should at least go for a check-up by a chiropractor 1-2 times a month. Your body is like your car. You bring your car to get maintenance check from using it overtime, your body is also worn off from repetitive work in your daily life activities. You would benefit a lot from chiropractic care for your long term health.

Chiropractic care involves spinal manipulation/adjustments. There are many techniques that can be used, mainly is the diversified technique, which means adjusting each person’s spine is done differently. The determination of different techniques depends on the age group and the medical history. Generally a typical adjustment involves a high force, quick accurate thrust that is pain-free. As for elderly or patients would severe pain or cautious conditions the adjustment would be done with low force meaning the thrust would be more gentle. Adjustments are safe! You might hear a “popping” sound during either types of the adjustment, it is the sound of air/gas releasing from the joint space like opening a can of pop.
Who can benefit from chiropractic?

Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient form of alternative medicine, originating in China. It is a safe and effective method based on the premise to maintain homeostasis of one’s Qi (energy), an essential component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). When the body is healthy, Qi flows smoothly through the body’s meridians – a conceptual network of pathways or channels within the body for the flow of Qi. Along these channels are pressure points, called acupoints, where manual pressure can be applied or a thin needle would be inserted to clear any disturbance in the flow of Qi – which was believed to be the root cause of health ailments. Over thousands of years old, acupuncture is widely practiced throughout the world that consists of both traditional and modernized techniques and is widely researched and used by many allied health professionals.
What to expect:
Although acupuncture is known for the use of needles, other methods include cupping, herbal medicine, heating therapy, acupoint pressure therapy, QiQong (exercise) and GuaSha – a technique that utilizes a massage tool to improve circulation.
Acupuncture needles are thin metal needles (smaller than needles used for blood work or vaccinations) that are inserted into the body’s acupoints or specific areas of the body depending on the patient’s chief concern. Most people feel no pain upon insertion of the needle.
Acupuncture can be used to treat a variety of conditions such as musculoskeletal pain, circulatory imbalances, headaches and many other health ailments.


Orthotics
Your feet have a direct impact on the rest of your body, your feet support the weight of everything above them. When a small problem develops in your foot, subtle changes in the way you walk create a chain reaction that affects your posture and the mechanics of how you walk. These changes place stress on the joints higher up in your body. This may lead to foot pain, knee pain, hip pain or back pain.
What Is A Custom Orthotic?
Custom orthotics are a device designed to align the foot and ankle into the most anatomically efficient position. They look like insoles, but are biomechanical appliances that are custom made to correct your specific foot imbalance. Custom orthotics work on your feet much like glasses work on your eyes – they reduce stress and strain on your body by bringing your feet back into proper alignment. The plastic body of the custom orthotic helps to re-align the foot by redirecting and reducing certain motion that takes place during the gait cycle. Custom orthotics fit into your shoes as comfortably as an insole – and they have the advantage of having been made from precise imprints of your feet.
Who Needs Custom Orthotics?
Your chiropractor can prescribe custom orthotics to help correct your specific foot and body imbalance. You can help your chiropractor by discussing any nagging foot, leg, or back problems, and even by simply asking if your feet could be part of the problem.
