Have you ever paused to think why you no longer hear, “She/he never had a day’s illness in her/his life!”? Life has changed drastically over the last half century. The abundance of facilities mean that the average person needs to put in far less physical effort to get the same things. Activities of normal everyday living have become mechanized. Commuting is rarely on foot — in fact the health conscious need to make a specific effort to walk. Shopping, socialization, entertainment etc. are all done online. This has resulted in damages to the physique.

Reverse the Impact of Bad Posture and Lifestyle

Poor posture puts a strain on the spine which in turn damages neural connections affecting breathing, digestion, and circulation. When you visit a Stittsville chiropractor, the first thing he/she will do is to ask numerous questions about your daily routine at work and at home. This is to assess whether the physical distress you are suffering is due to lifestyle factors, different kinds of stressors or underlying damage to the spine and/or extremities. Stooping or slouching in front of a computer or hunching ...
... over a tablet or smartphone places an incredible strain on the spine and neck.

Once you define what needs to addressed and your overall health goals, your chiropractor will decide whether you need adjustment for subluxation of a spinal vertebrae or an extremity, or whether you need some lifestyle modifications with massage. Extremity adjustment, i.e. adjustment of the numerous joints in the body, including the jaw, shoulder, ribs, wrist, elbows, fingers, hand, hip, ankle, knee, toes, and the foot, should always complement spinal adjustment. Such treatment can be extremely successful in treating rotator cuff injuries, frozen shoulder, generalized shoulder pain, meniscus injury, chondromalacia patella, and generalized knee pain.

Enjoy More Than Pain Relief

However, when you opt for Stittsville massage, your chiropractor will tailor it to your specific needs. Recovery from injury and loosening the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue bring relief from chronic patterns of tension. So you not only enjoy pain relief, but will also find yourself more energetic with a calmer frame of mind and will relish a sense of well-being never experienced before. If it is paired with dietary adjustments, you might even enjoy weight loss. Improved circulation and greater mobility are some of the welcome side effects of chiropractic massage. Since such massage stimulates the lymphatic system, your immune system is strengthened. The release of endorphins acts as mood stimulant and makes you feel that the present is rosy and the future is promising.
