Chiropractors are health professionals concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, and the effects of these disorders on the function of the nervous system and overall health. There is an emphasis on manual treatments including spinal adjustment and other joint and soft-tissue manipulation. Our Chiropractors believe in the value of working in conjunction with mainstream medicine. They place a strong emphasis on patient education, post injury rehabilitation, and lifestyle advice. They strive to incorporate these components into each of their appointments, tailoring treatment to the needs of each patient.
Whether you are seeking assessment and treatment of mechanical injuries, relief from daily aches and pains, looking to improve in your respective sports/hobbies or just seeking to live a healthier lifestyle, the physiotherapists at Creekside use evidence based practice to meet your goals. Our approach to prehab and rehab is active focused and the crux of our philosophy is to empower our clients with education on how their bodies’ work and tools to become their own physio. Along with manual, hands-on techniques, the active approach entails tailored exercises paired with lifestyle and daily cues to ensure that you are always working towards your goals and being able to move pain-free.
Massage therapy is the manipulation of soft tissues of the body including, muscles, connective tissues, tendons, ligaments and joints. Massage Therapy is a clinically-oriented healthcare option that helps alleviate the discomfort associated with everyday and occupational stresses, muscular over-use and many chronic pain conditions and promote relaxation and well-being. Therapeutic massage can ease tension and reduce pain, and can be used on its own or as an adjunct to other manual therapies.
Coming from the Traditional Chinese Medicine healthcare system, acupuncture is a common modality used to create a neuroendocrine response. Your neuroendocrine system refers to the aspects of the brain and body that regulate chemicals responsible for hormone balance, mood, immune strength, digestive health, stress, inflammation, and more. Acupuncture is the use of hair-thin, stainless steel needles or pins that are inserted into the body along specific channels. The channels are associated with internal organs like the liver, spleen, and heart, and with specific tissues like blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and fascia. The needles interact with the flow through these channels, and stimulate an electrochemical change which affects the physiology of the associated organs and tissues.
Acupuncture alone has been shown to have efficacious results in treating conditions such as depression, anxiety disorders, insomnia, pain, gas and bloating, IBS, Crohn’s disease, skin conditions, sciatica, arthritis, headaches, menstrual issues, weight gain/loss, and addictions.
Our acupuncturist has extensive training in Nutrition & Diet Therapy, Moxibustion, Cupping, and Acupuncture. As a holistic practice, Traditional Chinese Medicine encompasses all of these modalities in each session, according to the client’s individual health goals and needs.
