Chiropractic Significantly Improves Scoliosis

Chiropractic care, including adjustments and exercises, may significantly improve scoliosis, according to a new report.

The study included 28 patients with scoliosis. According to the report, “The average beginning primary Cobb angle was 44″. Patients received the same chiropractic rehabilitation program for approximately 6 months. At the end of active treatment, improvements were recorded in Cobb angle, pain scores, spirometry, and disability rating. All radiographic findings were maintained a 24-month follow-up”

Findings showed that patients “reported improvements in pain, Cobb angle, and disability immediately following the conclusion of treatment and 24 months later.”

Why you need to reconnect your life power after a trauma

by Dr. Brent Lipke DC

When Christopher Reeve aka Superman fell and broke his neck, his brain didn’t become totally disconnected from his body, or he would have died, but he did become partially disconnected brain from body. 

When this happened, less of the LIFE power from his brain flowed to his body and his body began to degenerate.

The day after his injury, although he looked the same, he was as disconnected from that LIFE power as he was ever going to be. 

Years later, before he died, how did he look? Muscles atrophied, organs weakened, but his body was the same amount disconnected from his brain as right after the accident.

All that changed, was time passed. What happened to superman in a second happens to people on a smaller scale every day due to the traumas of life.  They slowly get disconnected from parts of their body leading to disease.  Chiropractors focus on reconnecting this LIFE power between the brain and body, restoring normal function.

To learn more about how a safe, gentle and scientific, Chiropractic adjustment could TRANSFORM your health contact your chiropractor.  If you are interested in a complimentary consultation, CALL  The Family Chiropractic Centre, 519-837-1234. 

I’m Dr. Brent Lipke, educating you to help you educate others !

Meet: Dr. Dan Vitale DC

“Growing up as a very active youth and involved in various contact sports, I had sustained several injuries and became quite familiar with the healing arts professions. 

The Chiropractic profession attracted me very early due to its hands-on, drug-free, prevention-focused approach.  My mother had a severe low back injury and was told that she required surgery and quickly considered other options.  She was referred by a friend to a Chiropractor and within 3 months she was pain-free.  She began referring all her family and friends to this ‘new-found’ profession.”

Dr. Dan graduated from York University with a Specialized Honours in Kinesiology and Health Sciences.  He earned his Doctor of Chiropractic from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College where he met his wife Cynthia.  They both graduated in 2005, returning to her hometown of Guelph.

Together you will often find Dr. Dan and Cynthia running, biking or swimming: training for an up-coming race as they have both completed Ironman USA in Lake Placid.   Dr. Dan also enjoys hockey, golf and cross-country skiing.

Dr. Dan believes that we can lead a very healthy and pro-active life through a balance of proper alignment and nerve function through regular Chiropractic adjustments, daily physical activity, whole foods (along with individualized supplementation), restful sleep and effective stress-coping techniques.

“I look forward to meeting you in person and giving me the opportunity to provide you and your family a natural, safe and drug-free approach toward optimum health.”

Dr. Dan Vitale joined the Family Chiropractic Centre on November 1, 2009.
