Why Your Posture Matters (& how to improve it)

2022-10-07T11:31:01-04:00

How Chiropractic Helps with Inflammation

2022-07-27T16:22:06-04:00

Imagine you’re carrying some boxes down the stairs when you trip and fall on the last step. After picking yourself back up, you notice that your right ankle hurts, you look down and see that it’s completely swollen and red.

2022-07-05T14:46:35-04:00

How is Chiropractic Different from Osteopathy and Physiotherapy?

2022-04-01T14:26:01-04:00

How is chiropractic different than physiotherapy or osteopathic manipulations? This is a frequently Googled question that I wanted to address. First, these fields can all be very complimentary. Second, chiropractic could be the missing part of the puzzle for you! So why are chiropractic, physiotherapy, and osteopathy different fields? Let’s define these, as manual practitioners certainly have some similarities and overlap in what they practice.  Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (DOs) offer a wide spectrum of care, looking at the body on a cellular level.
