Leg Pain Relief
“Leg Pain Can Affect Kids, Teenagers, Adults And Seniors”
It is not normal to have pain in the legs at any age unless there is a pre-existing medical condition or a fracture.
Leg pain is often times the result of pinched spinal nerves in the lower back area. Also, it can result from inflamed spinal joints in the lower back area as well. The nerves from your lower back area ( the lumbar spine ) form what is called the sciatic bundle. This bundle of nerves go through your lower back, into your buttocks and then right down each of your legs right to your feet.
Pain can result anywhere along the path of the sciatic nerve and you don’t have to have lower back pain ( lumbago ) to have leg pain. They can be, and often are, mutually exclusive. That is why many people do not associate leg pain with a lower back problem because they do no have any lower back pain. Spinal nerves and spinal joints become irritated when the vertebrae associated with those specific nerves and joints become misaligned.
And if you have a spine, you have misalignments. It is impossible not to unless you are perfectly motionless your whole life.
Leg pain can also affect the hip joints, one or both. These joints can become misaligned from excessive wear and tear, and trauma. The same thing can happen to the knees, ankles,, and joints of the feet. Did you know a lot of hip and knee replacements can be prevented if people maintained good spinal hygiene ( alignment ) throughout their whole life? Let me explain …. let’s say you weigh 200 lbs just for round numbers. There is something called ‘heel strike’. This is the weight on each of your legs each time your heel strikes the ground during walking, jogging or running. Now, if your pelvis is level and not twisted ( ie. good hygiene/alignment ), your heel strike should be pretty equal – 100 lbs each side if you weigh 200 lbs. But what if your pelvis is un-even and/or twisted such that one leg heel strikes with 120lbs and the other with 80 lbs? What do you suppose would happen to the hip and knee on the side of the excessive weight? RIGHT! They are going to wear out quicker and sooner.
I see this all the time in practice. Patients come in with back pain and/or leg pain. They have had hip or knee replacement surgery and 100% of the time when I take a look at their lower back alignment on xray film, their pelvis is either tilted, twisted or both. All of these joints ( hips, knees,ankles, feet ) including the joints of the spine can be re-aligned back to an anatomically correct position with chiropractic treatments in most cases.
Burlington Leg pain, whether from a spinal origin or specific joint dysfunction responds extremely well to chiropractic treatments. Relief can be realized without medication and the health of the joints will improve.
This will also improve stability, durability and longevity allowing you to continue to be active with little or no leg pain or discomfort.
The Many Benefits of Chiropractic Care
“Chiropractic Care Can Not Only Relieve Aches and Pains, But It Can Be Very Beneficial to Your Overall Health as Well”
Chiropractic is a primary health care profession within the holistic ( all natural ) category that holds a very unique approach to health.
The principle and practice which underlines chiropractic health care is that it is vitally essential that you have a healthy spine to have good health. This may be obvious to some as they have experienced problems with their neck or lower back or their ribs & have sought out a chiropractor for relief of symptoms. But what hundreds of thousands of patients have noticed over the past 115 yrs is that their bodies have recovered from other ailments after beginning chiropractic treatments. Also, many of these patients have noticed a definite overall improvement of their general state of healthy & well-being.
I have practiced chiropractic care here in Burlington, Ontario at the Life Chiropractic Centre since 1991. These are some of the clinical observations I have made since I started in clinic at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College where I graduated in 1986 & all through my years of private practice. Please note that clinical observations are not scientifically documented research studies. They are real, un-biased, non-manipulated observations that are documented as a result of on-going examination with the patient.
The patient expresses to the treating chiropractor what changes & benefits ( or not ) they have noticed since using chiropractic. The list will isolate those areas or conditions that have IMPROVED ( which does not account for complete resolution of symptoms or conditions for numerous patients ): headaches, sinus headaches, tension headaches, migraines, hearing, ringing in ears, vision, cognitive abilities, concentration, memory, mood, sleep, energy, difficulty swallowing, dryness of throat,difficulty breathing, blood pressure, pulse rate, angina, constipation, diarrhea, IBS, ulcerative colitis, infertility, frequency of urination, bladder infections, urinary tract infections, colds, ear infections, throat infections, sinus infections, chest infections, overall immunity, agility, athletic performance, durability, vitality, strength, endurance, muscle tone, skin tone, neck pain, shoulder pain, arm pain, wrist pain, hand pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, rib pain, chest pain, lower back pain, leg pain, sciatica, hip pain, knee pain, ankle pain, foot pain, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis,fibromyalgia, joint pain, whiplash, work injuries, sporting injuries, motor vehicle injuries, post-surgical recovery, birthing process, post-natal recovery, posture, scoliosis, singing voice and self-confidence.
PLEASE NOTE – these conditions have been ‘improved’ not ‘cured’, and the truth be known is that no doctor anywhere cures anybody of anything. The human body can cure itself of any condition or disease known to man & the job of any doctor, whether a Burlington chiropractor or MD is to assist the healing process. The body has the best chance to heal itself only if one specific condition is met. This condition being that your master control center, your central nervous system, is working at optimal potential.
The central nerve system runs EVERYTHING! Millions upon millions of functions take place in your body every second without your conscious awareness. And when your nerve system can work without any interference, your body can perform it’s own miracles. So how does all of this relate to chiropractic? Just think of your spine. 24 little bones called vertebrae that stack up upon one another. Between the vertebrae come out your nerves which go to every part of your body. The nerves attach to your spinal cord which is inside your spine. The spinal cord attaches to your brain which is inside your skull. The brain is the master computer, the generator of all the power that is required to run every function of your body & it sends this power to the body through the spinal cord & nerves.
What if a vertebra gets slightly misaligned due to a bad fall, accident, difficult birth, extreme emotional stress etc., etc. and interferes with the function of that nerve? What do you suppose will happen to all the body functions that are the responsibility of that nerve? Better or worse? Do symptoms arise when your body is functioning like a finely tuned swiss watch or a $5 replica you by from a vendor on the street?
And the sad, sad thing is that many people think & subscribe to the practice that toxic drugs & medications to mask symptoms is the answer to getting healthy & staying healthy. The only job of a chiropractor is to ensure that all the vertebrae in your spine line up as best as they can so your nerves can transmit all the power/information to the rest of your body as best as they can. Then and only then will your body have the best capacity to heal itself if it is not well & maintain itself in a healthy state. And the most wonderful thing is …. all without the use of toxic drugs or surgery.
Chiropractic when used properly, will truly add years to your life and life to your years.
Treating Fibromyalgia
“Here’s a Burlington Fibromyalgia Pain Relief Story”
A 40 yr old female made an appointment with me for a free initial consultation.
She was referred to me by her neighbor who thought I may be able to help her with her fibromyalgia.
You see, this lady had been diagnosed with fibromyalgia when she was 30 yrs old just after the birth of her second child. Initially she thought that something went wrong during the birth process because she was suffering from lower back pain that persisted after the birth of her child.
Her family doctor told her that this would eventually go away but it did not.
In fact, not only did it persist but it progressed. Her back pain became more severe & more frequent. This was starting to seriously affect her home life as she not only had a newborn to look after, but also a toddler which imposed definite physical demands on her.
Eventually her family doctor recommended she take medication for the symptomatic relief of the pain but thankfully she was wise enough to refuse because she was breast-feeding her newborn & she did not want to contaminate her breast milk with the drugs as this could have serious consequences for her newborn.
This is when her neighbor suggested she consult with a Burlington Chiropractor to see if there was anything I could do to help.
When I first met this patient she was pale, fatigued, weary looking, hunched over in obvious pain & shuffled around like she had a 20lb weight attached to each of her legs. She moved with great deliberation & was in obvious discomfort & extremely stressed because she could not attend to her family appropriately nor could she enjoy her family life with her children or her husband.
She was looking for answers & was desperate.
All she was told was that there was no known cure for fibromyalgia because there was no conclusive evidence as why one gets fibromyalgia. And the only solution offered up by her family doctor was medication & this was to make her more comfortable at best, but not a cure.
This does not surprise me because after 25 yrs of practice I have yet to see a disease that was the result of someone not taking enough medication. Her family doc did not even suggest she consult a nutritionist for some dietary & vitamin counseling which has shown to benefit some people.
This did not surprise me either because it is more the exception than the rule that a medical person would refer a patient to a natural health care provider. This would be like admitting that they are inferior & that just doesn’t stroke the inflated medical ego very well.
Anyway , this patient did fit in with the clinical presentation of fibro. An early middle- aged female, insidious onset ( which means no apparent reason ), fatigue, muscle stiffness and tenderness. I explained to her that what I do is by no means a cure but I have had excellent results with my fibro patients & have definitely improved the quality of their lives.
We proceeded with a thorough examination & health history, and we started treatment that very day as she was very anxious to begin.
Well, the rest is nothing short of a miracle.
Her second treatment with me was 2 days later & she had noticed a significant improvement already.
She said that the pain level hadn’t changed much but she felt much more flexible. Within about a months time her pain level had diminished by 50%, her flexibility was almost normal & her energy level was 30% better.
By the 6 month mark she was a fully functioning mother again & she said to me that she doubted that she ever had fibromyalgia at all. Well, she may have or she may not have. But the important thing is that what I did for her helped her body heal WITHOUT the use of medications. And she was so thankful & grateful that she was able to enjoy her motherhood & her marriage without any limitations.
Now as with anything, results can never be guaranteed as every individual is different but this particular patient responded extremely well to her chiropractic treatments and she was enjoying the quality of life that every person deserves.

Back Pain Treatment Becomes Infertility Cure
“How a Weekend of Too Much Needle Point & Some Burlington Chiropractic Care Helped a Patient’s Infertility”
This is an interesting story on how our Burlington chiropractic care helped cure an INFERTILITY problem purely by chance.
About 20 yrs ago, a 28 yr old lady came into our office with a very sore neck. She was looking for some relief for her neck and heard somewhere from someone that chiropractic treatments would help. I found out that she had spent the weekend doing a lot of needle work preparing a quilt for a Christmas present.
When she got up that Monday morning, she was in extreme neck pain — so much so that she sought out a Burlington chiropractor for relief as many people do.
During the consultation, I discovered that she was also a chronic lower back pain sufferer and was also very concerned that she and her husband had been trying to conceive for 18 months with no success.
This was a huge concern for her as she was at the age where she and her husband were planning to start their family. But, she was not in my office for anything but the terrible pain in her neck. She just mentioned the other things because I asked. She was not expecting anything but help with her immediate problem – her neck.
Now, being a chiropractor, I was immediately thinking how her spinal health ( or lack thereof ) may impact her bodies ability to conceive as they were sure that it was not her partner. Examination of her xrays confirmed that there were pinched nerves in her neck that were the cause of her immediate problem but also there was a severely pinched nerve in her lower spine which was accounting for her lower back pain.
It is interesting to note that in a female, the nerves from the lower spine ALSO control the following organs and tissues: lower bowel, ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, and bladder. What most people don’t realize is that lower back problems can also cause problems with these body parts as well, one of them being infertility. What is even worse is that people are told they then need to take medication to fix the problem !
In all my years of practice, I have rarely seen a health problem that was due to a lack of medication. I have read the statistics though — where properly prescribed and administered medication is the leading cause of death in the US and accounts for over 20,000 deaths annually in our country. These numbers are staggering !
Anyway, this lady started an a chiropractic treatment program with me and was soon noticing relief of her neck pain. She also started to notice relief of her lower back pain. The reason is, is when we start correcting a spine, we correct the whole spine. Not just where the immediate problem is.
This patient then discontinued care with me about 3 – 4 months later due to some unforeseen personal circumstances. She then returned to my office 10 yrs later because she was having neck pain – again!
As we re-aquainted with one another, she said she had something to tell me. I said ok – what do you want to tell me ? She said she wanted to thank me for helping her get pregnant and that she was the proud mother of 2 beautiful girls and that she now had the family her and her husband had always wanted.
I congratulated her but asked her why thank me? She was convinced that it was her chiropractic treatments that helped her become fertile because it was just a couple of months after she stopped her treatments that she conceived her first child. And because she had noticed such an improvement in her lower back pain that she knew her temporary inability to get pregnant was due to an unhealthy lower back.
As I reviewed her previous case history it came back to me how I initially suspected her infertility problems could very well be due to the pinched nerve in her lower back and it turned out to be true.
So, this is a story of how life truly works in strange ways – where a weekend of too much needle point, a sore neck and a subsequent visit to a chiropractor helped this person have a family !
If you are reading this and are having issues with infertility and getting pregnant ( or know someone who does ), why don’t you give chiropractic a try ? Please call me at 905 335 LIFE ( 5433 ) to schedule your FREE CONSULTATION . We will get together and discuss what I would be able to do to help.
Treating Colic in Babies
“How a Colicky Burlington Baby Finally Stopped Crying After 2 Straight Months of Screaming”
This is a story about baby T whom I 1st met when she was 10 wks & 1 day old. A beautiful little baby girl with an exceptionally healthy set of lungs. So much so that a very tired, weary, frustrated & confused young mother brought her daughter in to see me to help her stop screaming.
You see, baby T was colicky & had been screaming for 2 months straight & her mother was at her wits end. 2 months of yelling, screaming, extreme fussiness, sleepless nights & that anxiety that all conscientious parents would have – wondering what they were doing wrong. And nothing they tried worked; car rides, holding, rocking, walking, stroller rides or nursing. She just kept on fussing & screaming for hours on end.
Nothing, I mean NOTHING would stop her until she would finally fall asleep due to sheer exhaustion, but often times she would be up all night because she ended up sleeping during the day & this is what took it’s greatest toll on the rest of their young family.
They took baby T to the family doc for help but were told their baby was healthy & this would soon pass. But hour after hour & night after night the crying would go on & on until one day she screamed straight thru from 2pm until midnight. 10 hrs straight.
That was it.
Baby T’s mother had had enough & decided to take her to a Burlington chiropractor for a check-up. She had learned from a friend that a chiropractor had helped her baby with colic, so she decided to give it a try. That’s where I come into this story.
I met with baby T & her mom & she filled me in on the whole story. I explained to her that there is no known definite cause for colic. It is defined as “periods of crying, apparent abdominal pain & irritability” in an otherwise normal, healthy baby. And this was baby T to a tee.
I could tell by looking at her and examining her that she was tense & stressed & not at all comfortable. I told her mom that I have had very good results treating colicky babies whether newborns or a few months old ( this is the typical age range for colic to strike ) & her mom immediately asked what I expected her to ask…. How?
I explained to her that from the chiropractic perspective, the birth process can be very traumatic for the baby ( not to mention the mother ). Especially if labour is long, difficult, induced & especially if forceps or the vacuum suction is used to assist the delivery process.
This can upset a little spine. And just like with an adult, if your spine is not healthy & aligned properly, this can lead to a multitude of conditions & health problems.
What I told baby T’s mom made sense to her, & she asked me when we could get started. I said right now & she agreed enthusiastically.
I proceeded to gently treat baby T every couple of days & after about 2 wks, her mom finally started to notice a significant change.
First, the late night crying had subsided. The rest of the family was very happy as now everyone could sleep peacefully.
Then the evening screaming sessions started to lessen & they were not as long & drawn out. And when she did scream & cry, it was not as long & often. Baby T’s mom was committed to keeping her appointments & noticed continual & steady improvement week after week until one day, baby T did not cry at all.
She finally had a happy, comfortable day for the whole day as a new baby should. Mom was ecstatic, relieved & very thankful as were the rest of the family.
By the time baby T was 8 months old , she was colic-free. An occasional scream if she was hungry, wanted attention or couldn’t reach her toy but that was it. She was a normal, healthy baby once again & her mom told me she couldn’t imagine what they might have gone through if they didn’t bring their precious little daughter to the chiropractor. I told her I was glad that I was able to help.
Now, if you have a colicky baby ( or know someone who does ), there is no need for you, your family & especially the baby to suffer. Pls call our office & schedule your FREE CONSULTATION & I will be able to determine if I can help with your colicky baby. Remember, we are here to help.
Lower Back Pain Story
“How A Lower Back Pain Sufferer Started Golfing Again at 70 Yrs Of Age!”
This is a story of a gentleman who barely walked into our office because he was suffering from extreme lower back pain.
His back had ‘gone out’ & he had been bed-ridden for at least 3 weeks before he made it into the office to see me. When it first happened , he went to see his family doc.His family doc told him he had a problem with his sacro-iliac joint and prescribed him some medication.
And that’s what MD’s do is to recommend / prescribe medication. But believe me, in all my 25 yrs of practice I cannot recall someone having a health problem because they were NOT taking drugs.
Getting back to this story, this patient did not get better. So he was prescribed a different, stronger drug & another & another because nothing was working. He was still in excruciating pain & could not get out of bed even to use the washroom. The family doc then arranged for a nurse to come into his home to inject him with Demerol & this made him so sick & nauseated that he said “forget it!”.
He decided to try something else.
He remembered one of his friends had a bad back & called her to get the name of her chiropractor. He knew that her back got a lot better after visiting a Burlington chiropractor and that’s where I come into this story.
This poor man barely, & I mean barely walked into my office. It took every ounce of his energy to keep a straight face & keep himself from shedding tears of pain. He could not even sit down during the consultation. He needed to stand up & lean against the wall for support.
So I asked him what happened.
He told me he just bent over to put on his socks one morning, something clicked in his lower spine & he could not get up. The pain progressed to the point where he could not move or stand. I asked him what the family doc recommended & he told me he was instructed to take pain-killers & put heat on his back.
YIKES! – I said to myself. Putting heat on something that is already inflamed & painful is the WORST thing you can do! Heat just caused the inflammation to increase & his pain level went thru the roof !!
I immediately got him down on the exam table & put an ice pack on his back for 30 min. This offered him enough relief that I was able to examine him & his family doc was right . He did have a mis-aligned sacro-iliac joint. But drugs & heat was totally the wrong way to treat this.
The joint needed to be re-aligned. And I told this patient also that it wasn’t bending over to put his socks on that caused the problem. I asked him if he was taking care of his spinal hygiene like he was his dental hygiene. Like most others, he said “no”.
I told him that it wasn’t his fault that no-one told him that he should be taking care of one of the most important parts of his anatomy & that I would do the best I could to help him.
I gently re-aligned his sacro-iliac joint & told him to go home & lie down with knees bent & apply ice to his back instead of heat. We followed this same procedure several times over the next 2 wks at which time he was able to walk quite comfortably on his own.
He took no more medication & was very thankful for that too because not only did it not work, but it caused him to become severely constipated which did not do his lower spine any favors either. ( the lower back nerves & the lower intestines are directly connected ).
I will never forget the day about 2 months after I first met him when he came bouncing into my office with a huge smile on his face.
I asked him what’s up & he told me he just shot a 91. I said I didn’t realize he was a golfer & he told me he hadn’t golfed for 20 yrs because of his back. But he was feeling so much better that he decided to give it a try and now he was golfing better than ever!
This patient has continued maintenance treatments with me faithfully over the past 15 yrs & still plays golf regularly at 85 yrs of age !
You see, it is an absolute must that you keep a healthy, flexible properly aligned spine for your whole life because as you age, your spine can be you greatest asset or your greatest liability.
