Plantar fasciitis is inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of the foot and connects the heel bone to the toes, and causes severe pain in the heel of the foot. It can occur at any age. It can disrupt many aspects of your life including regular activities, sleep and mental health. That’s why it’s important to treat plantar fasciitis as soon as possible.

🩵chiropractors use laser therapy in combination with soft tissue techniques that including the foot and calf muscles

🩵reflexology also helps release muscle tension by working on the arch, heel, and surrounding kinetic chain, including tight calves and the Achilles tendon to reduce pulling on the heel bone
🩵reflexology also improves circulation and increases blood flow to the sole, delivering essential oxygen and nutrients to help the inflamed fascia heel

As we grow older, our risk of falling increases and so does the risk of serious injury from a fall. Most trips, slips, and falls happen in and around the home.

7 tips to help prevent falls at home:
🩵Reduce clutter around your house
🩵Ensure easy transfers in and out of the bath
🩵Wear non-slip footwear
🩵Have your eyesight and hearing checked every year
🩵Exercise regularly
🩵Have your medications evaluated
🩵Have your strength and balance tested

Unfortunately, one in every three Canadians more than 65-years of age will experience a fall, along with common injuries, such as hip, wrists and pelvic fractures.

If your mobility level is low, you may also have poor balance, which puts you at a higher risk of falling. Being mobile and continuing to improve your balance is vital to help prevent falls and injuries.

A serious fall, especially if you’re a senior, can take away your sense of independence and affect your confidence in living your life to the fullest.

Statistics show that more than 80 per cent of Canadians will experience back pain at some time in their lives. Will you be one of them?

Back pain hurts, of course, but it can also curtail your routine activities, such as picking up your child or getting in and out of your car. The good news is that while some causes of back pain are unavoidable, you can often prevent problems by adopting a few simple lifestyle habits to take care of your back.

Much like eating right, exercising and getting a good night’s sleep, having great posture can have a positive impact on your life. Many injuries can develop from poor posture. If not corrected, the long-term effects of not straightening up your back can negatively affect your body and alter its structure. If you suffer from poor posture, you’ll likely often experiences fatigue, achy muscles, chronic headaches, as well as strain and pain in your low back.

Parents are turning to chiropractic care more often for their children. Chiropractic care focuses on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal and nervous system disorders through manual adjustment or manipulation of the spine. For children, this form of therapy can be particularly beneficial, as their bodies are still developing and are more responsive to gentle interventions.

Benefits of Chiropractic Care for Kids:
🎃Improved Sleep - Regular chiropractic adjustments can reduce discomfort that might disturb your child’s sleep.
🎃Enhanced Immune System - By improving nerve function, chiropractic care may help boost your child’s immune system, making them less susceptible to illnesses.
🎃Better Posture - With the increasing use of tablets and smartphones, children are prone to developing poor posture early. Chiropractic treatments can correct misalignments and promote better posture.
🎃Support for Developmental Milestones - Chiropractic care can support a child’s developmental milestones, like walking and coordinated movements, by ensuring their joints and spine are aligned properly.
🎃Supports for Athletes and Sports Injuries - Chiropractic care can help your child recover from injuries and preventing them from recurring, improving performance, and making sure they can play their best all season long.

Chiropractic care for kids offers a safe, natural, and effective way to support your child’s health and development and can provide many benefits for children of all ages.

Come see Dr Citro or Dr Hooper to discuss chiropractic options for your family.

When getting ready to go back to school, students and their parents should take the time to choose the right backpack. Poorly designed or improperly worn packs can cause discomfort and even injury. Ontario’s chiropractors consider overloaded backpacks to be a leading cause of back and neck pain.

Tips for choosing the right backpack:
✏️The size should be proportionate to the wearer’s body size -the top of the backpack should be no higher than the top of the shoulder and the bottom no lower than the top of the hipbone.
✏️It should be lightweight and durable.
✏️The shoulder straps should be at least two inches wide, adjustable, and padded -they should not fit too snugly around and under the arms.
✏️The back should be padded for added protection and comfort.
✏️It should have a hip strap or waist belt to help reduce the strain on the back
✏️It should have several pockets to help to distribute the weight evenly

Tips for backpack wearers:
🩵Wear both straps and adjust them so that the pack fits snugly—you should be able to slide your hand between the backpack and your back.
🩵Don’t sling your backpack on one side— it puts excess stress on your neck, shoulder, and back.
🩵Don’t carry your backpack too low— it will make you lean forward and puts the weight on your upper back.
🩵Finally, and most importantly, don’t overload your backpack!

Keeping these tips in mind when choosing a backpack you can ensure both safety and comfort for your child.

If your child is experiencing any pain or discomfort Dr Citro and Dr Hooper are here to help.
