ADULTS

An increasing number of adults are among the people who chiropractors help each year to learn what’s causing their spine, muscle or joint pain and attain treatment to alleviate it. But you don’t have to be in persistent or long-term pain to visit a chiropractor. Many adults visit chiropractors to manage sporadic pain, deal with the impact of repetitive strain, reduce their risk of injuries or improve their flexibility, mobility and posture.

CHILDREN & TEENS

From multiple sports to being hunched over electronic devices for extensive time, children and  teens often put a lot of pressure on their growing bodies. This pressure can lead to low back and neck pain and dysfunction, as well as various conditions affecting their peripheral joints, which a chiropractor can successfully treat. Some chiropractors pursue additional studies to specialize in pediatric chiropractic. However, infants should be under the care of a pediatrician, family doctor or nurse practitioner. Sometimes a chiropractor will collaborate and communicate with the infant’s health care provider team on care of their spine, muscles and joints.

EXPECTING MOTHERS

Pregnancy can bring many changes, including low and upper back, pelvic and foot pain, as well as carpal tunnel syndrome. About 50 to 80 per cent of all expecting moms experience low back pain. If you’re an expecting mom, you’re among the people who chiropractors help to relieve your aches and improve your mobility. They can also develop a therapeutic exercise program for you and educate you on how to reduce or prevent pain now and after your baby is born.
