Our Therapies
At Erin Centre Chiropractic and Wellness, we understand that each individual's path to wellness is unique, which is why we offer a diverse range of alternative therapies designed to support holistic healing and bring the body back into harmony. Whether you're recovering from an accident, dealing with chronic pain, or simply seeking relief from stress, our wellness therapies provide non-medicinal and complementary approaches to support your well-being.
Chiropractic
Chiropractic is based on the theory that good health depends in part upon a normally functioning nervous system. When the body’s structures are functioning normally, a state of health exists. When the body’s physiology is abnormal, a disease state begins; thus abnormal functioning begins.
Many people believe that chiropractic only treats orthopedic conditions such as backaches, sciatica, whiplash, disc problems or headaches. Though chiropractic has had a long track record of benefiting these conditions, any functional disorder, including those which involve organs, may respond to chiropractic care.
Massage Therapy
Massage therapy provides an alternative health option to help alleviate the soft-tissue discomfort associated with everyday and occupational stresses, muscular over-use, and chronic pain syndromes. It can greatly reduce the development of painful muscular patterning, if employed early enough after accidents involving trauma and injury.
Massage can benefit people of all ages and conditions – babies, children, pregnant women, the elderly, and those in chronic pain all can benefit from massage therapy.
Naturopathy
The term naturopathic medicine refers to a system of health care that uses natural methods and substances to support and stimulate the body’s inherent self-healing process. The naturopathic doctor views the individual as an integral whole, where symptoms of disease are seen as warning signals of improper functioning of the body.
Naturopathy’s primary goal is to treat the underlying cause of disease
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is one of the oldest, most commonly used systems of healing in the world. Originating in China some 3,500 years ago, it has become popular in North America only in the last three decades.
Using pathways of the body called meridians, acupuncture acts to balance energy and forces in our body to restore health to the mind and body.
Stress Counseling
Meditation is the art of calming the mind and focusing it on an object. By doing this, we can manage our physical and emotional pain. Meditation gives us a tool to use for coping with the apparent disharmony in our lives. Meditation can also be used to reduce psychological stress, psychophysical stress, and physical stress.
Peace of mind, clarity of thought, reduction of stress, and a more positive outlook on life are just some of the early benefits of meditation.
Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a patient-centered system and philosophy of health care which uses manual therapy techniques to enhance the body's innate ability to heal itself. It is based on an extensive knowledge and understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the body, thereby applying the understanding of the relationship of one part of the body to all its other parts. Osteopathic treatment can ease pain and improve tissue mobility which helps the body function as a whole. It therefore can treat a wide range of conditions ranging from chronic neck and back pain to athletic injuries and pre- and post-natal care.
FAQS
Is chiropractic care safe, especially for children and older adults?
Chiropractic care is generally considered safe when performed by a licensed and experienced chiropractor. Chiropractors undergo extensive training to provide safe and effective treatments. For children, chiropractic adjustments are modified to be gentle and appropriate for their age. Chiropractic care can benefit older adults by addressing age-related issues like arthritis and stiffness. However, it's essential to communicate your medical history and any concerns with your chiropractor to ensure personalized and safe care.
How many chiropractic sessions will I need to see results?
The number of chiropractic sessions required varies depending on your condition, its severity, and your overall health goals. Some individuals experience relief after just a few sessions, while others may need ongoing care for chronic conditions. Your chiropractor will assess your progress and adjust your treatment plan accordingly. They will also discuss your expectations and provide recommendations for the frequency of visits to achieve the best results.
Can chiropractic care treat conditions beyond back pain?
Yes, chiropractic care can address a wide range of conditions beyond back pain. Chiropractors are trained to treat musculoskeletal issues throughout the body. This includes conditions such as neck pain, headaches, sciatica, joint problems, and even non-musculoskeletal issues like allergies or digestive problems. Chiropractic adjustments can enhance the body's ability to heal itself and promote overall wellness, making it a valuable option for various health concerns. However, it's essential to consult with your chiropractor to determine if chiropractic care is suitable for your specific condition.
