Spring Allergy Relief

“For Burlington Area Allergy Relief This Spring, Here Is Something To Consider”

Many people think that along with spring-time comes allergy season.

And with all the drug commercials advertising allergy remedies, it would not take one long to be convinced that they have allergies.

But ask yourself this question … if there really is an allergy season, how come everybody doesn’t suffer from allergies?

What is the difference between those who do & those who don’t?

Want to know? … the answer is their immune system.

Some work better than others.

Why?

It all depends on your spinal alignment.

If your alignment is poor, so will be your immune system.

If your alignment is good, so will be your immune system.

So, if you truly want to combat those allergies this year without taking toxic medications, try chiropractic care.

You will be pleasantly surprised.

Keeping Kids Healthly

“Here’s Why Our Burlington Clinic Has Super Healthy Kids”


Did you know that poor health almost always follows poor posture?

And did you know that poor posture most often is due to poor spinal hygiene (poor spinal alignment)?

Did you know that posture is the most over-looked aspect of a childs’ health even though it is the most important?

Have your kids stand comfortably in bare feet with their back towards you.

Put your hands on their hips – are they level? Put your hands on their shoulders – are they level?

Have them turn 90 degrees so now you are looking at them from the side ( it doesn’t matter which ).

Look at their head – is it sitting on top of & in line with their shoulders, or is it sticking way out in front of their shoulders? [if it is, this is called forward head carriage & is caused by computer use & playing hand-held video games ]

If your child’s hips &/or hips are not level, or if they have forward head carriage, run – don’t walk – to your chiropractor.

Their health is at risk!

Burlington Chiropractic Care will help you & your children maintain good & healthy posture.

Then & only then will you be truly healthy.

Healthy Shoulders

“How Our Burlington Clientele Can Keep Strong And Healthy Shoulders


Do your shoulders click or pop when you move them around?

Do you avoid lying on one shoulder when sleeping because it is too painful &/or causes your arm to fall asleep?

If you answered yes to either question or both, listen up ….

If the vertebrae in your neck are not aligned properly (pinching the nerves in your neck), this can cause shoulder pain &/or arm numbness.

And your shoulder is a complex mechanism of joints, muscles & ligaments & if these are not balanced & aligned properly, this will definitely cause popping or grinding in the shoulder, & pain & numbness in the arm.

Solution?

You have 3 choices …1) ignore, 2) medicate or 3) fix.

If you choose to ignore or medicate, good luck! These are the 2 worst choices out of the 3.

If you want to fix the problem responsibly, chiropractic is your best choice.

Our specialty is to keep all of your joints aligned properly so that they do not wear out, become arthritic (click & pop), pinch your nerves & cause you grief.

It’s your house, it’s your choice … do what is right to take ‘the weight off your shoulders’.

Chiropractic And Bed Wetting

” Did You Know That Our Burlington Chiropractic Adjustments Can Help Stop Bed-Wetting?”

Chiropractic has helped many children overcome wetting the bed.

No, it is not ‘normal’ and it is not something you should wait to ‘grow out of’.

Remember this—the nerves from your lower spine just above your waist supply all the organs inside your pelvis including your bladder.

If any of these vertebrae are not aligned properly, this will slow down (pinch) the nerves that supply the bladder.
The bladder will then become weak & not be strong enough to hold the urine especially when sleeping.

Now you may ask… “how can my kid have pinched nerves?”

Answer this …” how many times have you seen your kids fall & land on their tush?”

These are the types of seemingly incidental falls that are the beginnings of all spinal problems.

Chiropractic will re-align the vertebrae, light up the nerves, strengthen the signals to the bladder so that it regains its strength.

This will significantly help to improve bladder function.

And all without the use of drugs or medications.

Natural Cure For Ear Infections

” Burlington Chiropractic Tip Of The Week – A Natural Way To Help Cure Ear Infections”


Remember that the germs that cause ear infections are already in your body.
They are part of your body’s natural flora.

When tissues become weakened, the normal germs will multiply to beyond normal
levels & cause an infection/illness.

Tissues become weakened from having poor nerve supply & thus poor defences.

Poor nerve supply is the result of misaligned spinal vertebrae pinching the nerves.

When this happens in the neck, the ears will suffer because the nerves from the neck
supply the ears.

Spinal adjustments re-align the vertebrae, light up the nerves & the tissues become
strong again & are able to fight off infections.

If you or your children are suffering with ear infections, try chiropractic care.

No drugs or anti-biotics & you will be pleasantly surprised.

Tip Of The Week

“Osteoarthritis Pain Relief Facts – Burlington Chiropractic Tip Of The Week”


If you are suffering from the pain of OSTEOARTHRITIS and you are taking over-the-counter non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for pain relief,you may want to consider this bit of research information.

Some drug studies have revealed that some of the most popular over-the-counter drugs can actually accelerate the degradation of the cartilage lining of your joints.

This would actually make your joints more susceptible to pain as the cartilage lining is important to maintain healthy & smoothly gliding joints. Now, what you may have not realized is that degradation of the cartilage lining of your joints is part of the osteoarthritic process.

So the point here is that you are probably making your osteoarthritis worse by taking these types of drugs!

Most of the time, osteoarthritis is a function of mechanical stress on the joint & one of the sources of mechanical stress is joint mis-alignment.

This is where I have good news for you.

Chiropractor’s specialty is to re-align all the joints of your skeletal system including your spine. [ And yes you can get osteoarthritis in your spine.]

So, if you are looking for relief from your osteoarthritis, give chiropractic a try.

The treatments are all natural & gentle with no toxic side-effects.

Depression Treatment Alternative

“A Natural Alternative To Help Combat Depression”

Many experts believe that there is no such thing as depression.

Just depressing thoughts.

And if you didn’t know, you are the only one who chooses what you think about.

When you catch yourself thinking a depressing thought, immediately stop & think about something that up-lifts you & makes you smile.

Also, get out-side. Observe the sun & moon & the stars & nature in all its glory.

This will force you out of your own mind box & distract your thoughts & you will soon feel better.

Also, chiropractic care has helped many people with depression.

The spinal adjustments help your body’s natural energy vibrate at a higher frequency & it is hard to be depressed when your energy is elevated.
