Many athletes benefit from chiropractic because it keeps them in peak condition without the use of drugs. Whether it's during the season or in the off-season, chiropractic care is becoming the competitive advantage that many athletes are now seeking. When your body is in better alignment, your nervous system is finely tuned, and all pistons are firing. This leads to better performance, fewer injuries and quicker recovery. This can be accomplished with the help of one of our sports chiropractors in NS Chiropractic Clinic.

Kinesio / Rock Taping Method

• - Provides support to muscle structure

By lifting the skin on a microscopic level, Rocktape & Kinesio Tape effectively relieve pain through facilitating lymphatic drainage in the affected muscles. This lifting power also serves to decrease any inflammation that may be occurring.

In the event of a misaligned pelvis, the baby's natural environment is restricted during development. It can also contribute to a non-optimal position for delivery. A baby in the breech position can prevent a non-invasive, natural birth, possibly leading to a c-section or the use of drugs that the mother may not want. At NS Chiropractic, our goal is to keep the spine aligned so the entire body can work effectively. We provide drug-free, natural care for expectant mothers that will lead to the best delivery outcome.

We use both Belly Pillow® (Early & Late Pregnancy pillow) and Hylo-table with abdominal swingaway, which are optimum equipments for pregnant women.

Car accidents are tricky. While they may produce very obvious symptoms and conditions, they may also produce slight misalignments that are not detected until later. These misalignments, untreated, can lead to other conditions. For this reason, it is important to seek chiropractic care following any car accident, no matter how minor. This will ensure total alignment of your body and prevent future conditions from arising.

Beyond whiplash, car accidents can produce a number of symptoms and conditions, including:

• - Back Pain
• - Chest Pain
• - Radiating pain in extremities
• - Neuropathy
• - Disc herniation
• - Numbness
• - Pinched Nerves

Each of these conditions is the result of misalignment in the musculoskeletal system, or from a defect in the nervous system. In many car accident cases, traditional doctors will treat the symptoms of the injury without diagnosing its root. When this happens, it can lead to long-term physical issues. These issues could have been corrected with chiropractic treatment that helps the body redevelop its strength and motion, as well as heal itself properly.

Standing, sitting, lying and sleeping properly counteracts the constant force of gravity on the body, reducing stress on the spine and ensuring that the joints work efficiently.

Nowadays the convenience of laptops, tablets and smartphones has made our working lives far more flexible, efficient and accessible than they’ve ever been.

However, the digital age we now find ourselves immersed in brings with it a number of problems. Many of us now endure ‘normal daily aches and pains’, the most common of these being neck ache, upper back pain and related headaches.

We are seeing more and more of these problems in our clinics and, although the cause of the pain is not always immediately obvious to our clients, when we question them more about their lifestyle and how their pain may have started, they often admit to spending long hours crouched over an electronic device.
