A postpartum massage is a full body massage that occurs within the first 12 weeks after you give birth to your baby.

𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠: Many mothers find that their body swells during labour. Massaging can help to redistribute water within the body and encourage the draining and circulation of excess fluids.

𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐤 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: For moms seeking an increase in their breast milk supply, massage can be a great way to increase circulation and the necessary hormones to make this happen.

𝐇𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: The postpartum body is one of constantly fluctuating hormones. In addition to touch, many massages involve essential oils that may help elevate one’s mood and may encourage hormonal balance.

𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐱𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧: Many new parents experience the “baby blues” or even postpartum depression. Getting a massage can help to decrease stress contributing to these anxious and depressed feelings.

𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩: Everyone knows new parents need as much sleep as they can get! Massage can help parents relax and get their body ready for deep, restorative sleep.
Before beginning your massage therapy routine, be sure to check with your doctor or midwife to ensure your body is healed enough to begin.

There are non-addictive alternatives to prescription medications and opioids, such as chiropractic care, that you can use to manage your back pain. They can also be more effective in reducing your pain and getting you back to your regular life.

Here are some back treatment options a chiropractor may provide:

𝟏. 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐝𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭
Chiropractors deliver precise manual manipulation of the vertebrae of your spine, called an ‘adjustment’. This action restores your spine’s natural movement and improves its function.

𝟐. 𝐀𝐥𝐥 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐤
Pain can affect us in many ways and the starting point isn’t always clear. Work with multiple health care professionals to address the physical, psychological and social or occupational factors contributing to your back pain.

𝟑. 𝐌𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐊𝐞𝐲 – 𝐄𝐱𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐞!
Chiropractors can prescribe therapeutic exercise programs to help improve your body’s movement and reduce your pain. Once the initial pain subsides, these exercises may help you avoid future flare-ups.

𝟒. 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬
Reduce your stress by changing how your brain processes pain. Meditation, breathing exercises and body awareness techniques can help you change the way you experience pain.

𝟓. 𝐏𝐢𝐧𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞
Acupuncture is a technique where fine needles are inserted into specific areas of your body to address pain and function.

Chiropractic is a non-surgical, non-pharmaceutical approach to health. We often treat our patients for pain and injury, but we also seek to improve the functionality and movement of our patients, while restoring the structural integrity of the spine.

As holistic chiropractors we don't just focus on problem areas during treatment - we also look at underlying causes and treat the problem as a whole by taking into consideration all factors such as the patient's routines, posture, daily activities, diet and fitness. We then use all the information gathered to get to the root of the problem, treat it and then come up with a plan to prevent the problem from reoccurring.

One of the immediate benefits of massage is a feeling of deep relaxation and calm. This occurs because massage prompts the release of endorphins – the brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) that produce feelings of wellbeing.

Levels of stress hormones, such as adrenalin, cortisol and norepinephrine, are also reduced. Studies indicate that high levels of stress hormones impair the immune system.

Research continues to show the enormous benefits of massage therapy! To book an appointment call 416-232-0002 or visit us at www.wellnessrootschiropractic.com.

Scoliosis is a musculoskeletal condition of the spine in which it bends or curves sideways (laterally) from the centre. Scoliosis appears in about 3% of the population, typically affects girls (more than boys) and is usually identified during the 10-20-year age range.

When a scoliosis develops, the spine bends and twists along the vertical axis of the body. Curvatures can either appear as ‘C’ or ‘S’- shaped. These curvatures can have cosmetic and physiological effects on the body, and long-term may have significant health problems in cases of severe curvatures.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘀 𝗦𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱?

The primary goals of treating any form of Scoliosis is to:

Reduce spinal joint compression and tension that may be causing pain.
Release tightened spinal musculature.
Improve strength and flexibility throughout the spine and core muscles.
Prevent any recurrent pain and avoid further progression of the curvature.
Chiropractors can help a patient live well and avoid further invasive surgeries. To book an appointment call us at 416-232-0002 or book an appointment online at www.wellnessrootschiropractic.com

A trigger point can be described as a spot or point in a muscle that refers a sensation, be it pain or weakness, to another area of the body. For example, a trigger point in your upper trap muscle may cause a referral pattern into the side of the head, behind the ear.

Trigger points are very common and can occur within any muscle of the body. Patients that have trigger points often report persistent pain that results in decreased range of motion of that muscle. The most common muscles affected are in the head and neck area, which can lead to the development of other symptoms such as headaches, jaw pain, ringing in the ear, and eye pain.

𝟏. 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬🤕

Headaches can be caused by such things as dehydration, malnutrition, or a misalignment in the neck or spine. A chiropractor can help to relieve headaches and improve blood flow, which will increase the amount of oxygen that is supplied to the brain. They may also suggest some lifestyle changes.

𝟐. 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐉𝐨𝐛 𝐑𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐨 𝐒𝐢𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐝𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞🪑

If you spend most of your day hunched over a keyboard, it is not uncommon to wind up with very poor posture. Poor posture puts unwanted pressure on the upper back, neck, and shoulders. Regular adjustments can prevent future issues occurring.

3. 𝐋𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐑𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐌𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧🦵

If you notice that your arms and legs are not as flexible as they used to be, or if your neck won’t turn as far in one direction or the other, this is a good indication that you need to see your chiropractor.

4. 𝐘𝐨𝐮’𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧🏃‍♀️

If you spend time working out or playing sports, your body is subjected to additional strain and pressure. Regular chiropractic visits are beneficial to make sure you stay functional in your movements and avoid injury.

To book an appointment call 416-232-0002 or visit our website at www.wellnessrootschiropractic.com .

👏Five Drug-free Options to Treat Your Pain👏

1.It’s time for an adjustment

2. All hands on deck
Multidisciplinary Rehab. Work with multiple health care professionals to address the physical, psychological and social or occupational factors contributing to your back pain.

3. Movement is Key – Exercise!

4. Change your focus
Mindfulness Based-Stress Reduction: Reduce your stress by changing how your brain processes pain. Meditation, breathing exercises and body awareness techniques can help you change the way you experience pain.
