Chiropractic Care

Comprehensive Care in Lower Sackville

Every function of your body is controlled by your nervous system, and how it works is directly tied to how you feel. When you have accumulations of stress in your body, whether physical, chemical or mental stresses, it can negatively affect your nervous system.

The effects of this cumulative stress shows up in your spine as areas of subluxation or joint dysfunction, which is a spinal joint that has altered movement and poor biomechanics .

When the joints of your spine are not moving adequately, this creates further irritation on the nervous system, making you feel unwell. This can lead to pain, headaches or aches in other parts of your body. You might even feel pain in your neck, shoulder, arm, wrist, elbow, back, hips, knee, and leg; the symptoms can tremendously affect the quality of your life.

Don’t worry, we’ve got good news. Chiropractic is a natural, holistic solution to this problem and works to solve the root cause of the pain, segmental spinal dysfunction and the irritated nerves themselves, and can also improve your overall health and wellness.

Our Chiropractic Techniques

We are happy to meet our patients at their comfort level. If you’d prefer to have a light touch, or gentle mechanical instrument adjustment, we can meet that need. We want you to relax, enjoy, and fully benefit from your chiropractic care. If you’re comfortable with a more traditional manual adjustment, we’re able to do that, too. The primary adjusting techniques we use include:

  • Diversified: After identifying which vertebrae have lost their normal motion or optimal biomechanics, a specific manual thrust is applied to free up “stuck” spinal joints.
  • Activator Methods®: This is a system of spinal evaluation combined with a handheld adjusting instrument that delivers a consistent, low-force thrust.
  • Thompson: Thompson Terminal Point technique is a system of analysis and a special table that reduces the amount of energy needed to adjust your spine.
  • Webster: The Webster Technique is a technique offered in later pregnancy to improve maternal spine biomechanics, and to reduce soft tissue stresses related to the uterine ligaments.
  • Pro-Adjuster™: Our computerized instrument will  adjust your spine, by tapping on each vertebra, using precise force, speed and angles to help each vertebrae assume a healthier disposition. 
  • Orthotics: Problems in your feet can create compensatory problems in the back and neck. Custom orthotics can make a dramatic difference. Learn more about Foot Levelers and the Orthotic Group.
  • Subluxation Station: This technology helps us assess your nervous system by measuring tiny amounts of heat using an infrared thermal scanner along your spine.
  • Posture Assessment: Posture assessment helps produce optimal posture and spinal alignment. As your spine assumes a more competent relationship with gravity, symptoms diminish and health can return.

During your first visit, one of our chiropractors will ask you about the problems you’ve been having, how they’re preventing you from living your life to its fullest, and what your ultimate goal for health is.Your spine will be scanned using a non-invasive infrared thermal scan, and your weight distribution will be measured. Your feet will be scanned to assess your arches. Your chiropractor will then discuss your health history in detail and perform a series of orthopedic, neurological, and specific chiropractic tests to determine if your problem is a chiropractic case.From there, a plan based on your symptoms, the root cause of your problems, as well as your goals will be put into action by the chiropractic team.

When you visit Back To Health Chiropractic for chiropractic care, you’ll receive so much more in terms of health and wellness education. Many patients in care currently have added 20-minute walks to their days to ensure they keep their joints in the spine adequately lubricated and mobile. The chiropractic team will also give their patients simple exercises to do at home to strengthen the spine and improve posture.They’re also a source of lifestyle advice regarding supplements to take, water intake, reduction in screen time, increasing your socialization outside the home, and other activities you can do to improve your physical and mental health.It’s not just about neck or back adjustments. We truly want you to improve your health and wellness from head to toe in a multitude of ways.
