The day you plant the seed is not the day you eat the fruit. This quote has resonated with me so much this year. In todays society there is a lot of emphasis on immediate gratification. As a type A personality I often find myself falling into the trap of thinking I’m not succeeding unless I see results right away. Whether it’s be a new lifestyle, new relationship, new career, new treatment plan.... hard work + patience + positive attitude =results ... Keep your head up the fruit is coming team #mindset #motivation #hustle #gratitude #hardwork #torontohealth #health #chiropractor #toronto #motionislotion #keepsmiling

Let’s talk about the neck adjustment For many people there is a lot of hesitation around getting there neck adjusted... and rightfully so, it’s a sensitive area where many of us hold a lot of tension. So let’s walk through some of the common fears together. ... what is the loud pop? Between your spine there are discs. The discs have liquid in them called synovial fluid. When we increase the range of motion to the area we are adjusting a simple chemical reaction occurs... due to a decrease in pressure the liquid turn to gas causing a popping noise.... science is cool right isn’t turning my head that much bad? if you watch closely very little rotation is actually used in the adjustment. You get a lot more rotation simply checking your blind spot. is it safe? For most people neck adjustments are an extremely safe and healthy way to treat neck pain! However, like any treatment there are certain contraindications. Some conditions which would make you not a candidate for this include: connective tissue disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, Down syndrome. my grandma told me I can get paralyzed from an adjustment Ok this one gets me every time . This is simply not true and not even on the informed consent form. However stroke is... and let me explain why. Chiropractors do not cause strokes but the main symptom of a stroke is neck pain. As primary care practitioners it’s our job to distinguish between regular neck pain and more serious causes of neck pain... and that is why we go to school for so long :) Hopefully that was insightful!
