Case history: Jane's chair caused her injury.

A case history: Jane (name changed, yadda..), a valued employee of a leading local business institution, came to see me about pain that had progressively developed in her lower back over the past year. There was no particular event to account for her discomfort, yet by the end of a work week, she was very happy for the weekend to get some relief. This was an important clue. Through insightful discussion, I understood that Jane spent a good deal of her job seated at her desk and working with a computer. I asked Jane to demonstrate her work posture and it became evident that her habits at work put excessive strain on her back… over time, the strain was developing into a chronic injury. We discussed modifications Jane could make to her desk, chair and computer arrangement… she found and liberated a better chair from an absent coworker. Jane found to her delight, that with chiropractic treatment, a better chair and new work habits to prevent ongoing injury, she was no longer worn rag

Welcome Wagon.

Dear Neighbour: As a Welcome Wagon sponsor and an unofficial representative of Collingwood’s health care providers, I extend my welcome to the neighbourhood. Thank you for the opportunity to introduce myself to you. In Collingwood, we have all the day-to-day conveniences and entertainment of a larger city without the distance and rush to get anywhere. Shopping and the cinema are only minutes away. The summer theatre is excellent. From my door I can be at the south end of Blue and ready to ski, or hiking on the Bruce trail, in ten minutes. The waterfront is five minute bike ride away. I enjoy the atmosphere of the smaller community and when I want to get away from it all… I am! As a personal introduction, I am originally from Scarborough and have resided in Collingwood for some 24 years now. It has been great to make a home here, raise a family, and serve the community. My interests have ranged through being an assistant soccer coach for my kids’ teams, Beaver and Cub Scout leader, help

Does stress seem to get the better of you?

Does stress seem to get the better of you? Studies reported in Scientific American emphasize the danger of stress to one’s health and well being. Students are more apt to get sick before exams and take up to twice as long to recover than during vacation periods. When people with allergies are forced to deliver a speech or face stressful situations, their allergy condition worsens over the course of the next day. Wounds take 24% longer to heal for stressed caregivers than for non-caregivers. Stress limits the ability of the immune system to fight off infections and even undermines the effectiveness of flu vaccines. With chronic stress, all sorts of bad things can happen. Not only does stress hamper your body's ability to fight infection and heal wounds, but also increases your risk of heart disease, osteoporosis, and autoimmune diseases including type 2 diabetes. Make no mistake… this is a significant health problem. What does this have to do with chiropractic, you ask? For many peo
