Spinal Manipulation more effective than other types of care

Spinal Manipulation more effective than other types of care 
“According to a 2004 article in The Spine Journal, spinal manipulative therapy for both chronic and acute lower back pain was more effective and provided more short term relief than many other types of care including prescription #drugs, physical #therapy, and home #exercise.”

I was in a car accident. Do I have Whiplash?

What is a #whiplash injury? Is it problematic? Can it be treated? Should I be #worried? 

The term, “Cervical hyperextension/ hyperflexion injury” is synonymous with “Cervical acceleration/ deceleration syndrome” (CAD), and #Whiplash. CAD injuries are associated with a cornucopia of complaints including: neck pain, headaches, symptoms in the upper quadrant, radicular complaints, paresthesia, muscle weakness, TMD, visual disturbances, vertigo/dizziness, low back pain, tinnitus, difficulty sleeping, hypersensitivity to light or noise, fatigue, impaired cognitive function, diminished concentration, irritability, and memory loss. 

At our office we deal daily with #MPI injury claims following motor vehicle accidents. If you've been involved in a car #accident contact us at 204-586-8424 and we can help guide you through the claims process and help get you back at 100% as quickly as possible.

What is Jumper's Hip? Dancer's Hip? Snapping Hip?

What is Jumper's Hip? Dancer's Hip? Snapping Hip? 



Psoas tendinopathy often arises secondary to repetitive flexion of an externally rotated hip. The condition is commonly termed “dancer’s hip” or “jumper’s hip”, as movements associated with these activities predispose participants to injury. 

Psoas tendinopathy is particularly common in ballet dancers – with more than 90% reporting clicking or snapping. The condition is also seen in athletes who participate in resistance #training#rowing, track and field, #running (especially uphill), #soccer, and #gymnastics, and #hurdling

Treatment of this condition involves a multi-faceted approach. Sift tissue treatments by hand (#myofascial release, trigger point therapy), acupuncture, laser therapy and home rehabilitation are all part of our plan to correct not only the pain of psoas tendinopathy but also the underlying cause.

Training As A Grown-Up

Training north of 40 need not be as daunting a task as it sounds nor does it need to be a mash up of low impact hamster wheels and resistance bands. With proper education and planning, training into your 40’s and beyond can push you to new heights and successes.
First thing first, we need to set out some ground rules:
  1. Have a plan and know that it will change. Life happens and changes occur so planning 10 month training systoles is nothing more than a recipe for disaster. I like to see my patients plan in 4 week blocks. This allows you to plan a single month’s worth of gym work, events, rest and recovery.
  2. Recovery and prevention are KEY habits. Recovery from high intensity workouts is key at any point but becomes paramount once we reach our 40’s and up. Tissues lose elasticity, HGH and Testosterone levels drop and our ability to heal reduces. Getting adequate rest, keeping joints, bones, muscles and connective tissues healthy and eating smart will eep you healthy, mobile and fuelled up for your day to day and your workouts.
  3. Hae a go to “quick and dirty” workout for when your day turns into a train wreck. Finding time to get to the gym or park to put your work in can be impossible some days, we all know that; those are the days to have a simple, effective 15 minute blast that you can go to to get at least SOMETHING done. I’m partial to 15 minutes of 10 Kettlebell swing, every minute on the minute. 25 minutes will get you 150 swings and a nice explosive workout when time is crunched.
  4. Put strength work at the top of you training pyramid. As we age muscle mass decreases. It sucks but its true. We can fight this decline by having strength work as our top priority when training.
Thanks for reading and let me know what other topics you’d like to see discussed moving forward!
