So what’s with the popping associated with certain types of Chiropractic adjustments?  Isn’t cracking your joints supposed to be bad for you?

Not all chiropractic techniques involved the ‘cavitation’ of joints (the escape of oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide, which releases joint pressure).  Some use table or instrumental assisted adjustments where no appreciable cavitation is experienced.  The ones that do however are no less safe, comfortable and effective at reducing spinal fixation, clearing nerve interference (subluxations) and improving your health.  As a matter of fact, it’s been shown by John Hopkins University that joint cavitation (specifically in the hand) dos not contribute to the formation of arthritis as falsely believed by grandmothers worldwide!

When you hear the noise from a professionally delivered adjustment, it’s similar to the pressure release you get from opening a bottle of champagne.  It’s like having a party in your spine!  Ultimately, with less pressure your joints move better, line up better and just plain feel better.

5 ways to help kids enjoy movement
from an early age

A child’s first 5 years are a key time for them to learn fundamental movement skills like jumping and running. Kids who aren’t grounded in these basic skills will grow up with less physical literacy meaning they won’t enjoy moving and so won’t be inclined to activity.

And there are other benefits they’ll miss out on too. Moving with confidence won’t just make kids enjoy being active, they’ll also be more likely do better in school, be healthier, and have a higher sense of self-esteem and well-being.

You can help your kids become more physically literate by:

1. Nurture your baby’s motor skill development

You can help your baby lay the foundation for developing physical literacy by focusing on motor skill development.

 2. Push back against PE cuts

Even though we’re seeing more and more research showing how important school PE programs are to physical literacy, PE and recreation budget cuts are everywhere these days. Calling or writing letters to your local representative could help to keep or even add new PE programs.

3. Don’t be in a rush

Try to work with your kids at their own pace. Focus on successes and positive reinforcement. Compliments will go a long way to building on the confidence and healthy ego that physical activity can bring.

4. Make it fun

Sports are so often about winning and losing. Sure, competition can make activities exciting but sometimes that pressure takes away the fun. If kids are enjoying being active then they’ll keep being active.

5. Be an active role model

Whether you see it as a plus or a minus, our kids watch us and model their behaviour on ours. Kids with active parents are far more likely to be active themselves.

What is one sport or activity you've always wanted to try? What do you think about you and your kids trying it together?

Early childhood is a critical period for the development of healthy, active living behaviours. 60 minutes per day is the goal to strive for!  Remember to make it fun!

"Flip for Your Spine"...

Professional real estate flippers can recognize the beauty and value in any dilapidated house. Take a home on the brink of falling apart, install some new hardwood floors, fix the foundation, upgrade the kitchen and bathroom fixtures and voila, you recouped your investment and much more.

Flipping spines is similar…many patients begin their care with dilapidated spines. Kyphotic cervical curves, degenerating discs and postural distortions – all compounded by inefficient electrical (nerve) system function. These are the signs of neglect that often present during an initial chiropractic inspection. Unfortunately, most spine owners don’t know the maintenance required to keep their spines in a healthy, liveable state. It isn't until a crisis ensues that they learn how far they let their property go.

Moving out of a bad spine is not an option, but flipping it back to shape is. If you have chronic spinal issues due to neglect or lack of knowledge, a master Chiropractor can help you get it back to ‘live in’ condition. With the right plan and enough time, you’ll recoup your investment and more in health benefits.
