Computerized Posture Scan

“What Are Computerized Posture Scans”

chiropractic posture scans

In a few of my more recent postings, you may have heard me refer to a computerized posture scan so I would like to take the opportunity here to explain to you what a computerized posture scan is.

The computerized posture scan analyses the alignment of your shoulders, ribcage, hips, knees and most importantly your neck.

It is an excellent preliminary screening tool to demonstrate where the spinal misalignments (subluxations) exist in your spine and also where you might be developing spinal arthritis and bone spurs.

We simply take a couple of pictures of you with our ipad and within a couple of minutes we can show you exactly where your trouble areas are.

These are now a part of our free initial consultation but I would like to mention that we will also be offering them at the Burlington Sound of Music Festival on Friday June 14th from noon to 6 pm.

Just look for us under the Life Chiropractic tent in the vendors area and we will be happy to scan you, your family and your friends.

Hope to see you there!

Blood Pressure Danger

“Urgent Health Update From Our Burlington Clinic | New Blood Pressure Danger Discovered”

blood pressure mediation risk
If you are one of the millions upon millions of north Americans taking blood pressure-lowering drugs, you need to know this!!

These drugs carry a danger that no one knew until recently …. a huge increase in hip fractures.

You already know that breaking your hip can be devastating as you get older.

Well, I recently came across a new study on blood pressure medications showing that within just a few days of starting these drugs, a massive number of people are suffering hip fractures.

The Archives of Internal Medicine published a little-known case analysis of over 300,000 Canadians.

And what was discovered from this study is that you have a 53% higher hip fracture risk within 45 days of taking your first ACE inhibitor, and a 58% higher risk when you start on a beta-blocker, two of the most highly prescribed blood pressure drugs in the world.

Now, if you mention the higher risk of fracture to most doctors, they are probably going to tell you to take a calcium supplement.

But that just makes things worse.

Mainstream doctors do not seem to know the science behind this. But one of the most well-conducted studies in history, the Harvard Nurses Study, showed there was absolutely no protection from fractures with any dose of calcium you can take.

In fact, the reverse was true … nurses who ingested higher amounts of calcium had an increased risk of bone fracture!

And if you are taking blood pressure drugs and/or calcium supplements, I am really, really sorry that you have been misled.

But there is good news.

We can show you how to improve your blood pressure and your overall heart health naturally.

Treating Carpal Tunnel

“Here’s And Effective Treatment For Carpal Tunnel Syndrome”

treating carpal tunnel

If you are suffering from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), you need to read on.

CTS is typically characterized by pain and numbness and tingling in the wrists, hands and fingers.

The main symptom of CTS is numbness of the thumb, index finger, middle finger and half of the ring finger (on the thumb side).

The numbness typically occurs at night and can peak during the early hours of the morning. Extreme tingling and pain can also result which usually spreads upwards into the forearm.

These symptoms can become so intense that they often times awaken sufferers from their sleep.

CTS usually affects your dominant hand but can affect both and it can be intermittent (it comes and goes). People who typically get CTS perform repetitive daily tasks with their hands and fingers: working at a computer, texting on a cell phone, playing video games, cashiers, assembly line workers and individuals who use hand tools, vibrating hand tools especially.

Loss of grip strength is usually the first sign that you are developing CTS; you begin to drop things and you have difficulty twisting a lid off of a jar for example. In advanced cases, the numbness, pain and tingling will appear at any time during the night or day.

Medical treatments involve medication, night splints and even surgery but you need to know that there is another option which is chiropractic care.

CTS results from compression of the median nerve. The median nerve goes from your neck all the way down into your hands and fingers.

The median nerve can become compressed in 2 places.

In the neck itself due to misalignment of the neck vertebrae (subluxation), and in the carpal tunnel itself (which is in the wrist) from misalignment of the tiny wrist bones or both.

The reason why chiropractic can get such great results with CTS sufferers is because our treatments can actually decompress the nerves in the neck and in the wrist, and there are no drugs or surgery involved.

So, if you or someone you know is struggling with CTS please give us a call.

Remember that consultations are always free of charge and we have office hours on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and most Saturday mornings.

Our phone is 905 335 LIFE (5433).

Benefits Of Chiropractic Adjustment

“Here Are The Many Benefits Of The Chiropractic Adjustment”

chiropractic care

We recently discussed 2 topics; one being the negative impact that vertebral subluxations have on your health, and we also defined what a subluxation is and how you get them.

Now we will discuss what a chiropractic adjustment is and the benefits adjustments have on your health.

And for those of you who don’t know, a chiropractic adjustment is the special thing that only we are trained to do to help re-align your spine.

In other words, adjustments are what correct your subluxations.

[flashvideo file=http://lifechiropractic.s3.amazonaws.com/05.07.2013.benefit.chiro.adjustment.bi-1.mp4 image=https://lifechiropracticcentre.ca/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/benefit.of_.chiro_.adjustment.jpg width=500 height=299 /]

Here is what you absolutely need to know about the effects of the chiropractic adjustment …

They decompress your nerve roots.
They decompress your spinal cord.
They help to maintain proper and healthy spinal curves.
They reduce any tension on your spinal cord.
They improve your nerve transmissions.
They relax your muscles.
They improve function of your internal organs.
They reduce any pain you may have.
They prevent spinal arthritis and spinal degeneration.
They cause your nerve tissue to come alive and stay alive.

Now knowing this, what man, woman or child would ever want to go without having chiropractic care?

And another thing that our patients absolutely love about chiropractic is that there is never any drugs/medications involved and there is never any surgery involved.

To find out more about chiropractic care and how we may be able to help you and your family, all you have to do is call us at 905 335 LIFE (5433) to schedule an appointment for your free initial consultation.

Causes Of Subluxations

“How Do We Get These Things Called Subluxations?”

Subluxation and chiropractic
In our last posting we defined what a subluxation is and outlined the negative effects they have on your spine and your health in general.

I would now like to explain how you get them and it is extremely important that you understand this!

Remember that a subluxation by medical definition is ‘a partial or incomplete dislocation of a vertebra.’ And it is virtually impossible for all 24 of your spinal vertebrae to stay in their correct anatomical position for your entire lifetime because ….. subluxations are caused by STRESS.

[flashvideo file=http://lifechiropractic.s3.amazonaws.com/04.23.2013.causes.of.subluxation.brad-1.mp4 image=https://lifechiropracticcentre.ca/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/causes.of_.subluxations.jpg width=500 height=299 /]

There are 3 kinds of stress that affect
children and adults alike.

Physical, mental/emotional and chemical.

Examples of physical stress would be the whiplash injury to your neck from a car accident, lifting injuries to your lower back, falls onto the lower back and tailbone ( especially in children ), and even the birth process itself can be the first episode of physical stress for most of us.

When you are under extreme or constant mental/emotional stress from things such as challenges with your kids, or your personal relationship with your partner or you are unhappy in your job, the muscles in your neck, upper back and lower back become over-tight. And because these muscles attach directly to your spine, if they are over-tight for extended periods they can actually pull the vertebrae out of their normal position and cause them to misalign or subluxate.

Chemical stress results from an accumulation of toxins in your body. Examples of some of these toxins would be tobacco, alcohol, drugs ( prescription and non-prescription ), sugar, refined and processed foods, and even vaccines and flu shots contain numerous toxins that are not good for your body.

So the lesson we need to learn here is that stress causes subluxations and no man, woman or child can ever escape the effects of stress. We are all subjected to all 3 forms of stress our entire life. This means that we are always at risk of getting subluxations in our spine.

In our next posting we will discuss what you can do to minimize the negative effects subluxations have on your spine and your health, and this will apply to both children and adults.

In the meantime, if you have any questions or concerns about your health or your children’s, all you need to do is call us at 905 335 LIFE (5433). Remember that consultations are always free of charge and family appointments are also available. Why? Because subluxations tend to run in families.

Subluxation

“What Is This thing Called Subluxation?”

Negative Impacts of SubluxationsTo be truthfully honest, this is the most important word that you should be crystal clear about its definition because of the significant impact they (subluxations) have on your health.

When you are in most chiropractic offices, you will hear about subluxations, you will read about them in any chiropractic literature or research articles, and they are referred to in most patient education pamphlets/postures/videos.

So it is critical to know exactly what a subluxation is so you as a patient can make sense of all these things.

[flashvideo file=http://lifechiropractic.s3.amazonaws.com/04.16.2013.subluxation.brad-1.mp4 image=https://lifechiropracticcentre.ca/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/04.2013.subluxation.jpg width=500 height=299 /]

 

By definition, a subluxation is an ‘incomplete or a partial dislocation of a vertebra’.

And we all have them; children and adults alike. It is virtually impossible for all 24 of your spinal vertebrae to stay in their proper and correct anatomical position for your whole life.

Here is what scientific research tells us that subluxations do to your body and the negative impact they have on your health:

compress your nerve roots
compress your spinal cord
cause abnormal curves in your spine
stretch your spinal cord
impair nerve transmission
cause tight and tense muscles
impair internal organ function
cause pain and discomfort in your body
cause arthritis and degeneration in your spine
cause your nerves to go into hibernation mode or a coma-like state

Now, you do not have to be a health professional to figure that none of these are good for anyone’s health.

In our next post we will review what causes subluxations but in the mean time if you have any questions or concerns about your health or your family’s health, please call us at 905 335 LIFE (5433).

Remember that consultations are always free of charge and family appointments are also available. And the reason we recommend family appointments is because subluxations tend to run in families.

Red Meat Eaters Beware

“Is Red Meat Good For You or Not?”

Burlington chiropractor

This is not whether it is good for you to eat red meat or not.

It is about the kind of red meat that you are eating.

If you do eat red meat & you feed your children red meat, it is very, very important that you read this!

The problem is most studies on red meat do not differentiate between commercial beef & pasture-raised meat.

Commercial beef is not only different by nature, it may very well be giving you health problems.

It has the wrong kind of fat that is unhealthy for your heart.

But contrary to what you hear, it is not because it is red meat.

Some red meat in fact, can be very healthy.

Cattle, in one form or another have been on this planet for millions of years.

They have successfully survived by grazing on grasslands & prairies.

Cattle’s natural diet consists of grasses & legumes.

Most cattle no longer eat their natural diet.

Growers feed them cheap grain & other ‘feedstuff’ in order to fatten them up quickly to sell for profit.

Most growers are not really concerned about your health.

They are mostly concerned about generating profits.

But what are some of these ‘feedstuffs’?

Please pay attention here….right now it is chocolate bars, rainbow sprinkles, gummy worms & stale cookies!! Corn prices are so high that ranchers are adding these processed sugary junk foods to the cow’s diet as we speak.

Not to mention that corn fed beef is not that much better for you.

The growers try to explain this away by saying that a cow’s stomach is able to break down these large sugar molecules providing most of the energy they require for milk production.

But just because they can feed this stuff to cows does not mean that they should.

Why? …. because a direct injection of sugar into the bloodstream of a cow is causing cows to suffer from the same chronic diseases humans do when they eat this way.

It is no wonder red meat has been linked to certain chronic health concerns.

How could any cow that is raised in such a way remain healthy & produce healthy beef?

Nearly impossible!

It causes the cows to become fatty instead of lean. Toxins, hormones & antibiotics then accumulate in the fat.

These then get passed on to you & your children when you eat commercial beef.

This is simply not good for you or your health.

The bottom line is factory-farm red meat is simply horrible stuff.

And you have every right to be scared to death of it.

However, pasture-raised, grass-fed beef could not be any more different.

You have nothing to fear when you make it a part of your diet.

And neither should your precious children.

In fact, this type of beef is loaded with health benefits:

• Grass-fed products have 3 – 5 times more conjugated linoleic acid ( CLA ) than commercial animals. CLA is an important nutrient that has cancer preventing properties.

• Grass-fed beef has 4 times more vitamin E. Grain-fed cows have so little vitamin E ( one of the most powerful antioxidants for humans ), that researchers at Colorado State University recommended supplementing the cows!!

• One study revealed that a grass-based diet for cows help them produce more vitamin A and E, as well as cancer fighting anti-oxidants such as glutathione and superoxide dismutase ( SOD ) compared to grain-fed cows.

And don’t be fooled by the label ‘organic’.

This means that the cattle do not have detectable levels of antibiotics or hormones in their body at the time of slaughter.

And most organic cattle eat nutritionally deficient grains.

Grass-fed meat is a deep red to maroon color, not pink like the commercial beef.

And it is very lean and richer in flavor.

So, now that I have identified a serious problem for you, let me also offer you a solution to this very same problem.

Life Chiropractic Centre ( Burlington, Ontario ) has partnered with Brooker’s Meats (Schomberg, Ontario ).

You can order your organic, grass-fed red meat products directly from their web-site along with a vast array of other healthy foods.

Their web-site is: www.brookersmeat.com. and it is very easy to navigate through their web-site to place & pay for your order.

You pay Brooker’s directly.Brookers-logo3

At the end, it will ask you for delivery instructions & this is where you will type LIFE CHIROPRACTIC CENTRE, BURLINGTON into the box.

This is important….

Delivery date is the 3rd Wednesday of every month directly to our clinic; 2501 Guelph Line/ Beacon Hill Plaza.

You need to place your order by the Sunday preceding the 3rd Wednesday of every month ( 72 hours prior to delivery ).

The food is packaged & delivered in special insulated bags that will maintain the food for up to 4 hours. [ the insulated bags need to be returned on your next delivery date or there is a $2.50 charge ]

We receive the food by 4:30 pm & you can pick up any time before 7 pm on the 3rd Wednesday of the month.

What else you receive: free delivery to the clinic ( $10 value ) plus an additional 5% discount on your total order!

I have been ordering from Brooker’s for the past 6 months & their meat is fantastic!

A great selection of fish, pork, chicken, turkey, beef, etc, and some prepared dishes as well as gluten-free products.

I will never eat commercially grown meat again after having tasting the difference with Brooker’s.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at 905 335 LIFE (5433).

We look forward to helping you & your family eat healthy & eat local.

Abnormal Posture And Your Nervous System

“Here’s How Abnormal Posture Can Negatively Impact Your
Nervous System”

Burlington chiropractor

If you have been to chiropractors before, you have probably made the following observations for yourself;

1 – different spinal adjusting techniques.

2 – different explanations of what chiropractic is.

3 – some chiropractors require you to stay on a schedule of care whereas others may not.

4 – some blend various forms of physical therapies into their treatments ( hot packs, cold packs, electricity etc. ).

5 – some chiropractors see a lot of children whereas others may not.

6 – some chiropractors require you get a spinal xray whereas others may not.

7 – some chiropractors will talk about subluxations whereas others may not.

The whole purpose of these articles I prepare for you is to help  clear any confusion or misconceptions you may have about chiropractic care, & teach you about what chiropractic really is & its many health benefits. Because the fact of the matter is, if you had a good grasp of what chiropractic is really all about, there would be no way in this world you would ever not have your spine adjusted on a regular basis. And moreover, you would make sure that chiropractic treatments would be the number 1 priority for all your children plus everyone else you care about.

Let us clarify what a subluxation is because you will hear some chiropractors use this word regularly. And if you are learning about subluxations, you are probably in a pretty good place.

A subluxation ( a partial or incomplete dislocation of a vertebra ) has 2 components; spinal misalignment and nerve interference. And do not ever think that you do not have subluxations in your spine. Everybody does – it is impossible not to regardless of pain or symptoms you may or may not be experiencing.  Abnormal or poor posture is a type of subluxation because it has the necessary 2 components; spinal misalignment and nerve interference. Poor posture also adversely affects spinal flexibility and range of motion.

Here is the important stuff that you need to know. This is how poor/abnormal posture and poor spinal flexibility affect your nerve system:

1—abnormal input into your central nerve system. [parents pay attention here] Abnormal input into the central nerve system has been linked to sudden infant death syndrome, balance problems, visual disturbances, tinnitus ( ringing/buzzing in ears ) and impaired development of the pediatric central nerve system.

2 – tethering ( adverse prolonged stretching of the spinal cord in the neck resulting from loss of neck curve, forward head posture &/or hump back ) will result in motor and sensory impairment. Tethering of the spinal cord has also been linked to demylenating diseases such as multiple sclerosis, optic neuritis & Guillain-Barre Syndrome.

3 – dysfunction of nerve transmission/electrical nerve interference has been linked to altered expression of one’s DNA.

4 – accelerated spinal joint degenerative disease and subsequent mechanical irritation of spinal nerves.

All of the influences listed above ( 1 to 4 ) involve the sympathetic part of your nerve system. It has been established that the sympathetic part of your nerve system is the primary controlling factor in immunity and this is how abnormal posture & spinal motion adversely impacts one’s individual health & well-being.

And you thought that chiropractic was not appropriate for kids?!  Or, you thought it was only good for your aches & pains. Well, I now hope that you are seriously thinking again!

The goal of a corrective spinal adjusting technique ( such as the one we practice at Life Chiropractic Centre ) is to:

1 – correct poor posture & spinal range of motion to the greatest degree.

2 – minimize spinal degeneration.

3 – improve overall function of your central nerve system.

4 – improve your overall systemic heath.

What better gift is there that you can give to your children? What better gift is there that you can give to yourself?

And just to be clear about one thing … a drop-in, country club type of chiropractic office cannot offer you these benefits. It is impossible. Spinal health & hygiene requires a regular approach just like your diet, your exercise program & your dental health. But what type of chiropractor you choose all depends upon your priorities and what is important to you and your children.

If you would like to make an appointment to have your spine checked or you would like to refer someone to our office whom you know needs our help, it is easy. All you have to do is call 905 335 LIFE ( 5433 ) and schedule an appointment for a free initial consultation. We will also include a computerized posture scan and remember that family appointments are also available. And the reason we recommend family appointments is because subluxation patterns and tendencies run in families and we can easily check everybody at the same time.

Heart Disease And Your Posture

“Here’s How Heart Disease Relates To Your Posture”

Burlington chiropractor

For those of you who have investigated chiropractic to one degree or another, you probably have an idea of our claims about how your posture can affect the health of your internal organs.

For those of you who do not believe such a connection exists, or you are not totally convinced that such a connection exists, then this is just for you.

This was published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society in October of 2004.

This journal is one of the most read &  most reputable journals in the world in the field of medicine.

TITLE: Hyperkyphotic Posture Predicts Mortality in Older Community-Dwelling Men and Women: A Prospective Study

The objectives of this study were to determine the association between hyperkyphotic posture and rate of mortality & cause-specific mortality in older persons.

Hyperkyphotic posture is when you have a hump in your upper spine and/or you have forward head posture. This hump has been called a widowers hump in the past but the scary thing is that it is now quite prevalent in young adults & even teenagers due to the huge increase in modern technology injuries now affecting  our society.

The study was conducted by several doctors from the University of California, Los Angeles and the University of California, San Diego.

The subjects of the study were 1353 residents of a  retirement dwelling in Rancho Bernardo, California who had measurements of hyperkyphotic posture discovered during an osteoporosis assessment.

The participants were followed for an average of 4.2 years, with mortality & cause of death confirmed using review of death certificates.

The conclusion: “ … persons with hyperkyphotic posture had a 1.44 greater rate of mortality. “  In other words, older men and older women with poor posture have higher mortality rates, which means they die sooner. And when they investigated cause-specific mortality analysis ( ie. what did these people actually die from? ),  “ hyperkyphotic posture was specifically associated with an increase rate of death due to atherosclerosis.”

So, what this means is that when you have poor posture, specifically hyperkyphosis ( forward head posture &/or hump back ), you will die sooner from a heart attack or some type of heart disease.

Now, remember that this was published in one of the most reputable journals in the world in the medical field. But, did your family doctor tell you about this? Most of them do read these types of journals, by the way. And, how important do you think it is to know that poor posture can actually cause you to have a heart attack? I am sure that most of you will agree that it is very important to know and now you do.

So, what should you do now?

What you should do is take the measures to find out if you are at risk. And this is where a chiropractic assessment is in high order. Remember that posture & spinal health is our specialty & we can easily determine your degree of risk using a computerized posture scan and a simple xray.

And at what age should you do this? As soon as you are old enough to use a cell phone, video game or computer because one of the biggest concerns with modern technology injuries is forward head posture &/or hump back; a major cause of heart disease as you now know. Never has the old saying ‘as the twig is bent, so grows the tree’ been more fitting.

At Life Chiropractic, we use an advanced approach to specifically diagnose & treat forward head posture & hump back. And why we focus so much on this is because heart disease is now becoming a very serious concern in our younger generations.

But what is really scary is it is now estimated that 40% of the time, your first symptom that you have heart disease is a fatal heart attack! [Fatal means you do not get a second chance.]

To schedule an appointment for your free initial consultation is easy. All you have to do is call us at 905 335 LIFE ( 5433 ).

We will even include the computerized posture scan and remember that family appointments are also available.

The reason that we recommend family appointments is because  subluxations ( these are what cause forward head posture & hump back ) run in families, so it is critical that we check all your children as well.

Treating Backyard Trampoline Injuries

“What All Parents Should Know About Backyard Trampolines And The Injuries That Can Result From Having One”

Treatimg a Trampoline Injury

It is springtime and not only do parents tend to urge their kids to get out of the house and play outside after a long winter, but most kids do so with utmost enthusiasm.

Backyard trampolines have become very popular over the past 20 years, but with their popularity comes inherent dangers.

As a parent, here is what you need to know about trampoline use purely for the sake of the safety and the health and well-being of your children.

[flashvideo file=http://lifechiropractic.s3.amazonaws.com/04.02.2013.trampoline.brad-1.mp4 image=https://lifechiropracticcentre.ca/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/trampoline.jpg width=500 height=299 /]

• As early as 1977, the American Academy of Pediatrics ( AAP ) issued warnings about the dangers of trampoline use.

• In 1998, an article in Science Daily reported that there were a quarter million ( 250,000 ) trampoline-related injuries treated in hospital emergency rooms between 1990 and 1995. And the annual number of injuries had grown from 29,600 per year to 58,400 per year.

• In 1998, the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery revealed that 43% of all injuries were sustained by children between 5 and 9 years of age, 28% were sustained by children between 10 and 14 years of age and even more distressing ; 15% of all injuries were sustained by children under 4 years of age!

• The journal Pediatric Neurosurgery reported that in the year 2000, trampolines were responsible for more than 6500 cervical spine ( neck ) injuries in 1998.

• In 2001, the Consumer Product and Safety Commission reported that since 1990, there had been 11 trampoline-related deaths, 6 of which involved children under the age of 15.

• Consumer Reports released a study in 2004 stating 98,000 people were treated in ER because of trampoline –related injuries in 2003, and more than 50,000 of these cases involved children.

• In 2007, the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System reported a 133% increase in trampoline-related injuries between 1990 and 2005.

• Studies have proven that despite attempts to educate people/parents about the risks, the number of injuries has increased exponentially each year leading the AAP to declare trampoline injuries among children as an epidemic and to recommend banning them from home use entirely.

• Safety nets placed around the outside of trampolines do not correct the problem of the dangerously large gaps between the springs or stopping more than 1 child from being on a trampoline at one time.

• From a chiropractic perspective, there are several regions of the spine which you should be concerned about when your child has been injured on a trampoline: the neck, the tailbone and the lumbar spine or lower back. Other common injuries include dislocations or fractures involving the upper extremities ( arms ), facial abrasions and sprain/strain type injuries.

So, my best recommendation to you if are considering buying a trampoline is NOT TO.

If you already have one, make sure that your children are closely supervised by an adult at all times, and there is only 1 kid at a time on a trampoline.

Should your child have any complaints after trampoline use, it warrants further orthopedic and neurological evaluation and possibly an xray.

This is where we can help. All you have to do is call 905 335 LIFE ( 5433 ) and schedule an appointment for your free initial consultation.

Family appointments are also available which means we can check your whole family at the same time.
