Chiropractic Therapies For Your Health

• Most patients come to Dr. Canada with back or
  neck pain, or an acute condition. This can
  require seeing Dr. Canada on a regular basis for
  a while. Once the condition has been resolved,
  chiropractic care can continue on a wellness
  basis, or resume as needed.

5
Soft Tissue (Muscle) Therapy

• Soft Tissue (Muscle) Therapy is designed to
  restore full function to muscles and ligament.
  Dr. Canada uses a variety of Soft Tissue
  Therapies, including NIMMO, PIR and more. NIMMO
  or Receptor Tonus, is a specific chiropractic
  technique that address muscular problems by
  applying pressure on trigger points, allowing the
  muscle to relax and restore proper joint
  function. Postisometric relaxation (PIR) is a
  technique that is often used for patients in
  acute distress to restore full function to
  muscles and ligaments.

6
Therapeutic Ultrasound

• Therapeutic Ultrasound is often used to relax
  muscles that are too tight around a joint, in
  order to allow effective manipulation. It
  provides a deep heating effect beneath the skin,
  to encourage blood circulation and relaxation. It
  is completely painless.

7
Electric Muscle Stimulation

• Electric Muscle Stimulation is used to reduce
  pain, decrease swelling, increase blood flow into
  an injured joint or muscle and increase healing.

Dr. Canada places pads on or around the injured
area and then sends electrical pulses.
8
Cold Laser

• Cold Laser is the use of a low level energy
  (light) source that matches the frequency of
  cells, which enhances the bodys natural healing
  processes. It can increase cellular
  communication, so nerves can talk to muscles
  better. This process does not break the skin like
  surgical lasers.

9
Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA)

• Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) measures
  the speed of a slight current as it passes
  through body tissue, which enables Dr. Canada to
  determine lean muscle mass, fat mass, water
  inside cells (an indicator of toxicity) and basal
  metabolic rate. (BMR) BMR is the rate of energy
  expenditure by your body at rest. The information
  gathered can be used to help people who are in
  training (sports) or trying to lose weight.

10
Rehab Exercise

• Rehab Exercise consists of stretching and
  strengthening exercises specific to an area of
  complaint, using low tech rehab tools like foam
  rollers and gym balls. Dr. Canada will provide
  demonstrations and guidance, so you are able to
  do these rehab exercises at home.

11
Nutritional Counseling

• Nutritional Counseling is also available. Dr
  Canada is certified by the Loomis Institute of
  Enzyme Nutrition, the art and science of using
  nutrition to maintain homeostasis and health in
  the body. It can help you achieve optimal health
  using whole foods that contain protein,
  carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals and
  enzymes, without chemical compounds.

12
Massage Therapy

• Massage Therapy is also available.

13
The Dangers of Stress

• There are three kinds of stress that can wreak
  havoc on your health physical, chemical and
  emotional.
• Physical What is your body structure? Do you
  have scoliosis? Do you sit in front
  of a computer all day? Are you an
  extreme athlete? Do you suffer from injuries
  caused by an accident?
• Chemical What do you eat? How do you fuel
  your body? What environment do you
  live in? Are you exposed to toxic
  air or water? What does your body eliminate, and
  what doesnt it?
• Emotional Have you had a death in the family?
  Do you have a healthy relationship
  with others? How do you view your
  self? Your job?
• All three kinds of stress can cause inflammation
  that can result in varying levels of pain. They
  can cause stiffness, lack of motion, mild and
  acute pain and discomfort.
