In addition to Chiropractic several other natural therapies are available.
Custom Foot Orthotics
Your feet have a direct impact on the rest of your body. Like the foundation of a house, your feet support the weight of everything above them. When a small problem develops in your feet, the subtle change in the way you walk will cause a chain reaction of adjustments in your posture and walking mechanics. These changes can put stress on joints higher up in your body, and lead to more serious problems.
Prescription orthotics look like insoles, but are biomechanical medical appliances that are custom made to correct your specific foot imbalance. Orthotics reduce the stress and strain on your body by bringing your feet back into proper alignment.
The symptoms of faulty foot mechanics can include any one of the following:
- Localized foot pain
- Bunions, hammer toes
- Arch or heel pain
- Leg or knee pain
- Hip or back pain
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a safe and effective treatment that involves the insertion of very fine needles through the skin and tissues at specific points on the body. There is no injection of any substance and the treatment causes no or minimal discomfort.
Acupuncture stimulates the body to produce its own pain relieving chemicals called “endorphins” resulting in relief of pain, general relaxation, and biochemical restoration of the body’s own internal regulation systems.
The World Health Organization has identified the benefits of acupuncture in the treatment of a wide range of medical problems including:
- Neurological and muscular disorders such as headaches, neck pain, back pain, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, tendonitis, sciatica, and arthritis
- Digestive disorders
- Respiratory disorders
- Addiction
Cosmetic Acupuncture
Cosmetic Acupuncture is an effective way to remove fine lines and wrinkles from the face. It stimulates and tones sagging and aging skin, while removing toxins and encouraging cell reproduction. It can erase fine lines and decrease deeper lines. It can help reduce double chins, sagging puffy eyelids, and virtually eliminate dark circles under the eyes. Cosmetic acupuncture helps to rejuvenate facial tissue by increasing circulation and stimulating collagen production, resulting in a tightening reaction of the facial muscles and a healthy glowing complexion.
Blood circulation is stimulated by inserting very fine disposable needles into specific acupuncture points on the face and body. The skin then becomes nourished, oxygenated and moisturized from the inside out. By also using acupuncture points on the body, the circulation of blood and energy is enhanced, thus promoting overall health and well being.
A 1996 report in The International Journal of Clinical Acupuncture reported that among 300 cases treated with cosmetic acupuncture, 90% had marked effects with one course of treatment.
Nutritional Supplements
Natural supplements are designed to provide your body with the nutrient support necessary to slow the aging process, help reduce the risk of degenerative diseases and help you better manage existing health conditions, naturally. Research suggests that as we age, food alone is unable to provide all the nutrients required to slow the biological processes of aging and maximize our defenses against age-related afflictions and degenerative conditions.
With all the supplements available today it can be difficult to determine what is most suitable for your individual needs. At Schomberg Chiropractic Wellness Centre we provide high quality Adeeva nutritional supplements and we can help you choose the supplements that are appropriate for your individual needs.
