We offer foot scans using Foot Levelers technology. Why get a foot scan? Your feet are your foundation, and without proper support in your arches this can cause issues and pain in your knees, hips, low back, shoulders and neck. Next steps — we use your personal foot scan to order a pair of custom 3D Foot Levelers orthotics. If you are interested in getting your feet scanned, ask Dr. Aucoin or Dr. MacPhail at your next appointment or contact us. ____________________________________ 📍1592 Barrington St. Halifax, NS 📲 902-492-2102 📧 [email protected]

Our Chiropractor Brigitte MacPhail loves treating shoulder’s with neurofunctional acupuncture! This patient’s case was a frozen shoulder. Neurofunctional Acupuncture is a precise peripheral nerve stimulation technique, in which acupuncture needles are inserted into anatomically defined neurofunctional sites and stimulated with electricity for therapeutic purposes. Neurofunctional Acupuncture is a physiological intervention similar to exercise that elicits existing available regulatory mechanisms, and is a great treatment in adjunct to manual chiropractic care. Neurofunctional acupuncture is great for patient treatment of: - Sports related injuries and other movement disorders - Musculoskeletal pain (neck, shoulder, low back, joints, etc.) - Chronic pain (headaches, sciatica, osteoarthritis, facial pain, etc.) - Stress related problems The Contemporary Medical Acupuncture Program is offered at McMaster University, where Dr. Brigitte MacPhail completed her studies in acupuncture. For more information on this therapeutic technique, or to book a treatment with Dr. Brigitte MacPhail, please contact us at 902-492-2102, or email [email protected].

Spine-Align Technology
Such a cool technology to use as an alternative to traditional chiropractic manual adjustments. Come check us out! The Spine-Align instrument can detect abnormal motion in your spine and assess whether the joints are “stuck” and need to be adjusted. It is a piezoelectric sensor which registers information faster than your body (muscles) is able to react. This means a precise and accurate reading of each joint’s movement is recorded for us to see in real-time (without any tissue/muscle involvement). Benefits: - stimulates a manual adjustment without the cracking and twisting - controlled, specific and precise force applied to treatment areas - real-time feedback - no side-effects - painless Both chiropractors at our clinic, Dr. Brigitte MacPhail and Dr. Monique Aucoin, are trained in the Spine-Align technology and can use during your appointments. 📲 If you would like to know more about this technology give us a call 902-492-2102 or take a look at our website maritimechiropractic.ca #chiropractor #chiropracticadjustment #maritimechiro #halifax

repost from @halifax.chiropractor Dr. Brigitte MacPhail••• Patellofemoral pain syndrome involves pain at the front of your knee. Sometimes referred to as “runners knee”. It is usually caused by a muscle imbalance, which we are looking to correct here using a technique called contemporary medical acupuncture. DM me if you have any questions! #chiropractic #electroacupuncture #halifaxnovascotia
