Who use our services
The following is a small sampling of the types of people, from different walks of life, who take advantage of Wellness Chiropractic at Diskin Life for a variety of reasons, including some physical challenges they face.
Babies may start their lives with a strenuous or challenged delivery…
Children’s active lifestyle produces many physical stresses to their spines. Just watch a child learn to walk (and fall so many times), fall out of bed, bounce down stairs on their bottom, dive into the couch, fall off the bike and swing; and these are but a few common causes of nerve system interference. Depending on the emotional "stress" atmosphere at home and quality of nutrition, both emotional and chemical stresses can create interference in a young person's nerve system. The earlier interference is detected, the easier the better the results can be expected.
Parents experience the constant bending, lifting and reaching to care for young children, forces carers to repeatedly stress their spines awkwardly on a daily basis. With the often intense and unrelenting demands children place on their parents, no wonder emotional and mental stress can accumulate so rapidly in this environment.
Students carry heavy school bags to and from school, and then all the sedentary hours sitting studying, often forces their posture to compensate, creating unnatural habit patterns and stresses in their spines. The mental pressure of studying, and additional stress of exams, puts an extra burden on their already overwhelmed nerve systems. Students often find they can study and concentrate better when their nerve systems are clear, so we see a number of them seeking extra Chiropractic care around their precious exam times, because it seems to help them with their study abilties and ultimately their results.
Seniors have accumulated years of work, family and other activities. Their bodies accumulate a lot of physical, chemical, mental and emotional stress from full lives, which they have not been able to fully adapt to. While earlier is far better than later; It’s never to late to discover the benefits of Wellness Chiropractic at Diskin Life.
Athletes work to achieve fitness, and keep pushing their bodies to new limits. Unfortunately this process is frequently carried out incorrectly. Even when the activity is performed carefully, pre-existing stress patterns can mean that even a proper workout can unknowingly create serious spinal problems. Pushing their bodies beyond their comfort limits can create newfound stress, not just from the physical pressures, also from the mental strain, and possibly lacking appropriate nutrients to compensate for their above-the-norm efforts.
Professionals/Executives sell their time and talent with enormous cost of health robbing stress effects. Besides the excessive sitting, with its known sedentary lifestyle risks, their lack of physical activity is further burdened by dealines and poor eating habits, which places further stress on their bodies and minds. As focused, clear decisive action can make the difference betweeen success and failure, these people choose to keep themselves optimally functioning to optimise their business results.
Office Workers often lack regular and sufficient activity and suffer from poor postural habits. Sitting or standing all day, often in the same position, can lead to spinal stress. The stress of high intensity mental and intellectual pressure magnifies many health issues too.
Factory Workers often have to repeat similar movements, and can place unnatural stress on specific areas of the spine, causing premature wear and tear, as well as forcing compensations in other areas, creating secondary problems, not to mention the mental stress of often monotonous and repetative duties.
Drivers are stuck for long hours of sitting, which is not healthy for the spine, especially aggravated by the climbing in and out of the vehicle, often in a hurry. Their quest for fullfiling dealines against the uncontrolable traffic scenarios places them in compomising mental and emotional stress too.
Pregnant Women enjoy the many benefits of Wellness Chiropractic that can be so helpful during all stages of pregnancy. This period of rapid development hormonal changes, the laxity of connective ligaments and shifting weight bearing structures, may cause many pregnant women to unnecessarily experience unnecessary fatigue, pains and sitffness. As the centre of gravity changes, so does the stress to the spine. Besides helping to relieve the discomfort, many expectant mothers experience that Wellness Chiropractic helps normalise nerve system function and help the experience of pregnancy feel natural, as it should. This is an important component of overall good health. Your Wellness Chiropractor will take special precautions with you during your pregnancy. Modifications to the table or adjusting techniques are made during each stage of your pregnancy.
The benefits of Wellness Chiropractic care may also be noticed during delivery. Many Wellness Chiropractic clients report that their deliveries were faster and more comfortable than deliveries previous to Wellness Chiropractic care. The birth process, even under natural and controlled conditions, is potentially traumatic and can stress a still developing spine. During the pushing stages of labour, the spine, particularly the neck, may be injured as the baby is compressed and pushed down the birth canal. During the birth process, the baby’s spine may be stressed, which may cause nerve interference. This neurological disturbance, known as Vertebral Subluxation, or nerve system stress, causes interference to normal nerve system function, which is what Chiropractors are the only health care providers trained to locate and address.
Chiropractors also find that infantile colic may be associated with poor spinal function (Subluxations), arising from physical stresses to the infant’s spine during birth, or inappropriate handling during the early weeks of life. Modern obstetric practices, such as birthing the babies with the mother lying on her back, the use of forceps, suction, induction and epidurals may subject the infant to significant trauma. Such stresses may lead to Subluxations in the infant causing nerve interference. This nerve interference may upset the function of the gastrointestinal system resulting in pain and colic. Reduction of spinal stress and the relief of nerve interference may explain the positive effect Chiropractors have on infantile colic. A study in Denmark in 1989 carried out by a Chiropractor and a medical practitioner reported that in 94% of cases of colic, a successful result was obtained following a two week period of care. This research confirms the results of other studies and observations of the effectiveness of Chiropractic.
