Have you been in an motor vehicle accident?

If you have recently been in an MVA (motor vehicle accident) and have experienced a whiplash type injury, it is critical that you seek some form of treatment. As a Vancouver chiropractor, I have seen injuries become chronic when not tended to in a timely fashion. Deal with the pain and inflammation first thru either natural (ice, arnica) or phamaceutical options recommended by your MD, then have a chiropractor assess your spine (xrays if nessesary) and recommend a treatment plan to improve your mobility and decrease pain.

At Vancouver Chiropractic, we have 13 years of experience dealing with ICBC and motor vehicle injuries.

Vancouver Chiropractic care for headaches

If you are experiencing tension type headaches, it may be time to have your spine checked for misalignments. When vertebral segments are not moving correctly, the body has to work harder, expend more energy, and put pressure on associated nerves. Those nerves may be innervating the head, eyes, ears and neck muscles. If that is the case, you may start experiencing tightness, stiffness, headaches, and fatigue.
At Vancouver Chiropractic, we believe prevention of headaches by stretching, correct posture, and stress reduction are your best tools. However, if you are already feeling the symptoms, then your alignment may need to be adjusted. Come see Dr. Nora for a check-up to determine a correct course of care that is right for you.

Kids and Chiropractic

With so many things on the go with little ones, its easy for parents to forget the importance of their kids' spinal health. Let me remind you how valuable it is to get you children checked at every milestone. Just like you would their teeth and eyes, their spines are just as if not more important to the functioning of their day to day growth. Postural imbalances and strain from falls, growth spurts, improper footwear, etc... are examples of what can affect their musculo-skeletal integrity. For more information on how chiropractic for kids can assist your child's proper spinal function contact Vancouver Chiropractic inc. 604-685-0052.or vancouverchiropractic.ca

Chiropractic & Pregnancy

Pregnancy is one of the most important times to see a chiropractor! From the moment you conceive the body starts a chain reaction of changes due to the cascade of various hormones. Some are easy to see and others relate to changes in posture and position leading to discomfort.

As weight is gained, a downward pressure is exerted on the pelvis and lower spine and with the secretion on the hormone relaxin the ligaments in the body become further flexible. This can lead to tremondous vulnerability to strain in the lower back and pelvic joints as well overworked muscles which support these structures.

According to recent studies, chiropractic care can improve comfort levels in the second and third trimesters as well reduction for need of anelgesics during delivery.

Chiropractic care can also assist new moms with postitional stress associated with breast feeding and postural strain caring for a newborn.

Contact us if you have any questions on how chiropractic care during pregnancy can help you.
