Natural Constipation Treatment

“Constipation Can Be Significantly Reduced Through Chiropractic Adjustment”

life chiropractic center
Constipation can affect children and adults both and is typically characterized by infrequent bowel movements and/or difficult or hard bowel movements.

Often times constipation is caused by a pinched nerve in the lower back ( lumbar spine ).

The nerves from the lumbar #1 level in the lower spine go directly to the large bowel.

When this nerve gets compressed or pinched due to poor posture in this area of the spine, constipation is often times a result.

Chiropractic adjustments to correct spinal alignment here can have a huge positive effect on bowel function.

If you or someone in your family is suffering with constipation, consider chiropractic care.

Safe, natural and non-invasive treatments.

Improving Moms Sleep

“Advise From Our Burlington Clinic For All Those Mom’s Who Have Trouble Sleeping”

life chiropractic center

This is for all those mom’s out there who have trouble falling asleep at night.

I have consulted with hundreds of mom’s of all ages over the past 26 years & one of the most common complaints that I hear is that many of them have difficulty falling asleep.

A lot of them either resort to taking a sleeping pill before bedtime which cause them to have brain fog the next morning, or they drink too much coffee during the day just to try and keep up with all the house chores & the kids.

And mind you, these are not a solution to the problem.

Now, if this sounds like you I want you to know that I may have a solution for you.

And the even better news is that it does not involve the use of drugs or medications.

And , it is no secret that when you get up in the morning well-rested, you have much more energy to get through your day.

Addiction And Teenage Computer Use

“Parents Need To Monitor Teenager Computer Use”

life chiropractic center

If you are a parent and your kids are using your computer or have their own, you need to read this!

Adolescents ( especially ) who are internet addicts may also be at increased risk of substance abuse according to a study in the March issue of the Journal of Addiction Medicine.

Teens with “pathological internet use” are more likely to have past or recent use of illicit substances, according to the study by Dr G.Floros & colleagues of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.

The new research also points toward some common personality characteristics among adolescents who are abusing the internet and have a history of substance abuse.

The researchers surveyed the entire adolescent population (aged 14 – 19 ) on the Greek island Kos regarding internet use, substance use and personality factors.

Internet addiction means not only just heavy internet use but also consequences such as losing track of time spent online, neglecting other activities and having difficulty cutting down on internet use.

Of the 1221 teenagers who responded to the study, about 15% were heavy internet users and 5% showed signs of internet addiction.

Thirteen percent reported past substance abuse, including a 7% rate of substance abuse within the past month.

Both substance abuse & heavy internet use were associated with distinct personality profiles including higher scores for characteristics classified under the label of “psychoticism.”

According to the Eysenck model of personality theory, psychoticism includes traits such as nonconformity, aggressiveness and impulsiveness.

Internet addiction has not yet been formally accepted as a psychiatric diagnosis but according to these researchers it has many features common with addictive diseases. ( ref.  The Chiropractic Choice, Feb. 2012 )

So what does this mean to you as a parent?

If you yourself spend time at a computer surfing the web, you know that you can spend literally hours doing so without even realizing how much time has passed.

The same goes for children of all ages.

What this study is saying is to keep an close eye on your teenagers surfing especially if you know  there is a past history of, or you suspect substance abuse.

And, if there is a family history of substance abuse with either of the parents ( or both ), keep an even closer eye.

Computer addiction can be a sign of other possible addictions.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to call us at 905 335 LIFE ( 5433 ).

Lower Back Pain Relief For Mom

“Lower Back Pain Relief And Spinal Care For Moms In Burlington”

life chiropractic center

[flashvideo file=http://lifechiropractic.s3.amazonaws.com/06.12.12.mom.lower.back.pain.2.bi1.mp4 image=https://lifechiropracticcentre.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/moms.lower_.back_.jpg width=490 height=299 /]

First of all, lower back pain is usually caused by misalignments in your lower back or your pelvis or both.

These misalignments can result from things such as the extra weight placed on your lower back during pregnancy, the stresses associated with childbirth and all the wear and tear placed on your back doing the things you need to do to look after your family and your home.

One thing you need to understand is that medications do not and will not correct spinal misalignments.

They are merely an attempt to mask the pain and there is always the risk of potentially dangerous side-effects.

What you need to know is that chiropractic care has proven to be highly effective in helping mom’s of all ages get significant relief from their lower back pain.

Our treatments can help your back feel better and stronger giving you more energy which will make it a lot easier for you to do what you need to do. And there are no dangerous toxic side-effects.

Shortness In Breath

“Natural Solution To Shortness of Breath In Children From Our Burlington Clinic”

life chiropractic center

If you have noticed that your child is short of breath following exercise or playing sports such as soccer or hockey, here is some very valuable information for you.

Often times this condition can be misdiagnosed as a mild form of asthma but I would like to explain to you what the most likely cause is because I am sure you would rather not have your child puffing on medication.

[flashvideo file=http://lifechiropractic.s3.amazonaws.com/06.05.shortness.in.breath2.bi1.mp4 image=https://lifechiropracticcentre.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/shortness.in_.breathe.jpg width=490 height=299 /]

When you refer to The Chart of Effects of Spinal Misalignments found on this web-site, you will see that the nerves from the T1 level and the T3 level go directly to the trachea ( which is your windpipe ), your bronchial tubes and your lungs.

If these nerves become compromised due to spinal misalignments ( subluxations ), breathing difficulties including shortness of breath are sure to result.

Also, if your child has even the slightest degree of spinal curve or scoliosis in the thoracic region of the spine, this will restrict normal motion of the rib cage which will in turn impair the function of the lungs.

It has been my personal hands-on experience that chiropractic care can be of a huge benefit for children who suffer from shortness of breath.

Our treatments will correct any spinal misalignments which will restore normal breathing capacity and another thing that you will really appreciate as a parent is that there are no harmful or toxic side-effects.

So, if you are concerned about your child’s shortness of breath, please call us right away. I know we can help. Our phone number is 905 335 LIFE ( 5433 ) and we have regular office hours on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and most Saturday mornings.

Consultations are always free and remember that we are here to help families just like yours build vibrant, healthy, drug-free lives.

Treating Colic

“Treating Colic With Chiropractic Care”

life chiropractic center
Spinal misalignments are a frequent occurrence in new-borns and especially if the delivery was difficult or complicated.

Often times this can result in colic for the new-born baby. How do you know if your baby has colic?

If they cry inconsolably for at least 3 hours per day, at least 3 days per week for at least 3 weeks in a row, then there is a very good chance they are suffering from colic.

Chiropractic treatments can benefit most colicky babies alleviating a great deal of stress for the baby and mother both.

If you have a colicky baby of your own, give chiropractic a try. Our treatments are safe, non-invasive and all-natural.

 

Hay Fever Relief

“Here Is Some Help For Parents Whose Kids Suffer From Hay Fever From Our Burlington Clinic”

life chiropractic centerIf your child is suffering from hay fever, this is what you need to know to be able to help them.

Hay fever is a form of allergic rhinitis that is typically characterized by sneezing, watery, itchy, puffy eyes and a red nose which usually starts off runny and then ends up being stuffy.

Hay fever is usually the worst for sufferers in the spring and fall but it is not uncommon for kids especially to suffer from hay fever during the summer months as well.

[flashvideo file=http://lifechiropractic.s3.amazonaws.com/05.15.2012.hay.fever.bi1.mp4 image=https://lifechiropracticcentre.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/hay.fever_.jpg width=500 height=299 /]

Anti-histamines are what a lot of parents give their children for hay fever. But, I strongly urge all parents to carefully review all the side-effects that are associated with anti-histamines.

And what you will also discover if you look closely is that these types of medications may only offer some symptomatic relief at best.

Our treatments on the other hand, are different.

The chiropractic approach to helping hay fever sufferers is to improve immune system function.

When you refer to the Chart of Effects of Spinal Misalignments found on this web-site you will see that misalignments at the C2 and C4 levels which are at the top of the neck can make one prone to hay fever.

And we know that this is a problem area for a lot of kids.

Corrective treatments here can really boost immune function offering hay fever sufferers a great deal of relief.

And, there are no dangerous side-effects.

So, if your child is struggling with hay fever and you do not know what else to do, please give us a call at 905 335 LIFE ( 5433 ).

We can send you more information on how chiropractic can help hay fever or you can always schedule an appointment for a free initial consultation for you and your family.

Remember too, that we are here to help families just like yours build vibrant, healthy, drug-free lives.

Unleash The Power

“May Is Unleash The Power Month At Life Chiropractic Centre Here In Burlington”

life chiropractic center
Unleash your Power?  What the heck does that mean?  Well, let me tell you it has nothing to do with your hydro bill and everything to do with your life.

But before I explain, let me ask you this …. did you know that there is ‘electricity’ inside your body?

Moreover, did you know that there is a ‘generator’ inside your body that manufactures this electricity or power?

Even if you didn’t, it’s ok because here I am going to teach you all about your power, where it comes from, where it goes, what it does, what happens when it gets shut off, how to turn it on again and how to keep it turned on.

If you can grasp this understanding for yourself, you will have finally grasped the truth, and your life and your kids life will never be the same again.

First of all, your body requires electricity or a power supply to control and co-ordinate all the millions and millions of functions and reactions that take place in your body every day. Your body, your kids’ body, your dogs’ body, your cats’ body – every living thing requires a power supply to live.

Without this power supply nothing would be able to live.

This is a scientific fact.

In fact, one of the criteria for a medical doctor to pronounce someone as officially ‘deceased’ is that their brain no longer registers any electrical activity.

Now, I have just given you a clue where your power comes from; it comes from your brain.

This is what your brain does.

It generates the power that is required to run your body.

So, the brain is actually the generator that is inside your body.

It has a huge responsibility and that is why it is protected by the thickest bone in your body; your skull.

We know that the brain generates your power and that this power is required to run your body.

The next logical question would be …. ‘ how does this  power get from the brain to the body?’

If you asked this question for yourself, congratulations!

You are starting to get it.

The power gets from  the brain to the body through the spinal cord and nerves.

The brain is attached to the spinal cord and the spinal cord (which lies inside your spine) is a bundle of every nerve fibre in your body.

This is why spinal cord injuries can be so devastating.

In fact, the brain , spinal cord and nerves are one complete system.

The nerves are really extensions of your brain that go to every, single part of your body to ……?

You got it!

To connect it to the main power supply.

Now let me ask you this …. what would happen to your heart [for example] if we  physically cut the nerves that supply the heart which would then disconnect it from the main power supply?

Would it live or die? Obviously, the heart would die and then you would die.

Now follow me here; this is very important.

What if we just compressed the nerves that supply the heart and the heart could only receive say, 50% of its normal power supply?

Would this be good or bad for your heart?

Would this be good or bad for your health?

Would this ultimately move you towards health and vitality or would this move you towards sickness and death?

If you are not sure, what would the most logical answer to these questions be?

The logical answers are the right answers.

It does not matter if you answered these right or wrong.

The important thing is that you are starting to grasp the truth about health.

The truth is that nerves can be compressed. And the truth is that compressed or pinched nerves are horrible for your health.

These are what chiropractors refer to as subluxations.

Subluxations are when one or more of your spinal vertebrae ( your spine is made up of 24 vertebrae ) are misaligned and compressing upon a nerve and the most dangerous thing about them is that you can have them and not know about it until it’s too late.

It may be the nerve to your heart or right leg or stomach or liver or uterus or gallbladder or left arm or sinuses or ears or eyes etc.

depending upon where the spinal misalignments (subluxations) are in your spine…. it doesn’t matter.

Compressed nerves are horrible for your health — bottom line.

And do not think that you or your kids do not have any subluxations.

If you have a spine, you have subluxations.

We all do.

It is a fact of life.

What is important is this…” what are you doing to manage these dangerous entities caused subluxations?”

If you are doing nothing, then your health and your families health is at risk.

But this may not be your fault.

Maybe you just did not know.

But here is the most important truth that you will ever need to know for yourself and your family.

Chiropractors are the only doctors that are trained in detecting and correcting subluxations.

Chiropractic care keeps you connected to your main power supply so that your body can function , re-create itself and heal itself everyday of your life the way it was designed to.

This is an absolute truth!

Imagine what your health would be like if your body was bathed in a full and proper power supply every day of your life?

Really think about this.

If you and your family had exceptional health, what would your quality of life be like?

Did you know that the human body can heal itself from any disease known to mankind?

And this fact has been scientifically documented time and time again.

Do you think that this could happen in someone whose body is partially disconnected from its power supply?

If you don’t know, what would the logical answer be?

Why wait?

Would you not want to live every day fully connected to your power supply?

Chiropractic care turns on your power and will keep your power turned on with regular treatments.

Just imagine feeling well all the time, having a super-charged immune system, lots of energy, getting a good night’s sleep every night, little or no need whatsoever for drugs or medications, being in a good mood most of the time, having a mind that is as sharp as a tack and having abundant self-confidence and self-esteem.

Just think what impact this would have on your life, your children’s life and your family.

This can easily happen but only if……?  right! ONLY if your body is fully connected to its power supply.

Now you know the truth about health.

It does not come in the form of a powder, pill, prescription, lotion or potion.

Health is not an ‘outside-in’ thing.

It is an ‘inside-out’ thing.

Health comes from within you and chiropractic care is the only thing that will truly add years to your life and life to your years.

Unleash your power!
