Aaaandddd, Kafui and Dr. Brenda Yee are back! This time they look at Lower Cross Syndrome and how it can affect sport performance and posture. We hear a lot about Upper Cross Syndrome (aka Student Syndrome or Office Syndrome) but we don't hear it's counter part, Lower Cross Syndrome, very often. Interestingly, it can contribute to the development of low back pain, achy/pinchy/clicky hips and so much more! Check out this enlightening video to spill to tea on Lower Cross Syndrome!

If you have any curiosities or topics that you'd like Dr. Brenda Yee and Kafui to make a video on, feel free to leave it in the comment section below! 

We are so excited to launch a new treatment combo starting Monday Nov. 18, 2019: CHIROPRACTIC & YOGA!! Treatments are eligible for extended health care insurance coverage. We've brought on-board Maddie Phillips, our neuromuscular reconditioning trainor and yoga therapy instructor, and we're delighted that she's joined your Guelph health care team to offer this exceptional exercise and movement therapy.

This specially designed program of care has been in the works for quite some time and we're thrilled to finally be accepting patients for this! We have TWO DAYS where you can try this treatment combo at no additional cost to you (FREE 15min ONE-ON-ONE yoga-styled therapy and instruction after chiropractic care) on the following dates:

1) Monday Nov. 18, 2019 1:30-7:45pm
2) Monday Nov. 25, 2019 1:30-7:45pm

Yoga-styled therapy is used to help recondition your body to adapt to new, healthier movement patterns while helping to decrease stiffness and pain. Your neuromuscular system has the capability to be retrained: much like practicing for a sport, training leads to improved technique and form to perform best at your sport. Our yoga therapy is targeted to your specific areas of complaint to help teach and guide you through realistic and comfortable movements so you can have better mobility and decreased pain. Book today or call to see how specific, personalized yoga-styled therapy and chiropractic care combined can help decrease aches and pains. 

What?! No medical referral/note required to see a chiropractor?! Yup, that's right! You do not require a medical referral/note to visit and seek care from a chiropractor in Canada. This is because chiropractors are legislated as primary care professionals in each province of Canada. What does that mean? It means you can pick up your phone right now and call your local chiropractor and book an appointment right away (or use online booking if that's more  your thing). This is wonderful knowledge  because if you're suffering from neck, low back, headaches or any muscle or joint pain you can access the care you need immediately. No long waits, no bouncing from appointment to appointment. The health care you need is immediately accessible, saving you time. 

Chiropractors also work closely with medical doctors to make sure that your health is in the best state it can be. It is routine for medical doctors and chiropractors to refer patients between one another so that the patient can have their needs met in the most timely manner possible. Whether that's manual treatment, rehabilitation, diagnotic imaging, blood work or special tests, your chiropractor and medical doctor work as a team to get you access to these health care services. Health care is better when everyone works as a team. Here at Nurture Family Chiropractic in Guelph, that's exactly what we do. We make sure the care you're getting is the RIGHT kind of care for your needs.
