Introduction:

In the intricate dance of our bodies, the health of our joints plays a crucial role. If you've ever felt your body being a bit too flexible, you might be familiar with ligamentous laxity – a condition where ligaments struggle to maintain the stability of your joints, making them more prone to shifts and potential damage. This is particularly pertinent in conditions like Rheumatoid Arthritis. But fear not! In this blog post, we'll explore the empowering journey of overcoming ligamentous laxity through targeted exercises.

Understanding Ligamentous Laxity: Ligamentous laxity occurs when the ligaments, which connect bone to bone, face challenges in holding the bones in place. This lack of stability can lead to joint issues, especially in conditions like Rheumatoid Arthritis, where the immune system attacks the joints. However, there are proactive steps you can take to address and mitigate these challenges.

The Power of Purposeful Exercises: Enter targeted exercises – the key to unlocking strength and stability in the face of ligamentous laxity. In our latest video, we delve into effective strategies to realign joints and fortify them through purposeful exercises. These exercises focus on strengthening the muscles and tendons surrounding the joints, providing the necessary support for them to thrive.

Journey to Joint Health: Embark on a journey with us to enhance muscle strength, improve range of motion, and counter the challenges posed by ligamentous laxity. Whether you're currently experiencing joint discomfort or simply want to prevent future issues, incorporating these techniques into your routine can make a significant difference in your overall joint health.

Empower Yourself: Don't let ligamentous laxity hold you back any longer! Our video is a valuable resource that empowers you with the knowledge and exercises needed to build a stronger and more resilient you. By investing in your joint health, you're taking a proactive step toward a more vibrant and active lifestyle.

Conclusion: In the intricate web of our well-being, joint health holds the strings to our mobility and overall vitality. Ligamentous laxity may present challenges, but through targeted exercises, we have the means to overcome and thrive. Empower yourself with the knowledge shared in our video, and let's stride confidently towards a future of strengthened joints and enhanced well-being. Your body will thank you for it! 💪

I hope this video finds you in good health and high spirits! As we reach mid-summer, I wanted to take a moment to share some exciting news and updates from our clinic. What’s New - Arthritis Lately, I have been seeing more cases of arthritis in the clinic. Arthritis is a common condition affecting millions of Canadians, causing joint pain, stiffness, and inflammation. Factors like age, injury, infection, or genetics can cause arthritis. However, one of the most common causes is the wear and tear of joints from uneven wear due to poor posture and imbalances. Poor posture and imbalances can result from sitting for long periods, slouching, carrying heavy bags, or wearing improper footwear. These habits can stress your spine and joints, leading to misalignment and dysfunction. Over time, this can lead to degeneration and inflammation of the cartilage and bone, causing arthritis. Fortunately, there is a natural and effective way to prevent and treat arthritis: chiropractic care. As a chiropractor, I can help you improve your posture and alignment by gently adjusting your spine and extremities. These adjustments can relieve pain and increase mobility by restoring the normal function of your joints. Sometimes, I use shockwave or laser therapy to assist soft tissue and joint healing. Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses sound waves to stimulate blood flow and tissue regeneration. Laser therapy is a light therapy that uses low-level lasers to penetrate the skin and stimulate tissue healing. Another way I can help you prevent and treat arthritis is by providing you with custom-made orthotics. Orthotics fit inside your shoes and support your feet and arches. They can help you correct your foot posture and gait, which can affect your whole body alignment. If you are suffering from arthritis or want to prevent it, I encourage you to book an appointment with me today. I will assess your condition and design a personalized treatment plan that suits your needs and goals. Click here to book: https://www.tuttstreetfamilychiropractic.com/ How Our Clinic is Different At Tutt Street Family Chiropractic, our mission and vision are to change and save lives one person at a time in our community. We believe chiropractic care is more than just treating symptoms; it is about restoring health from the inside out. Chiropractic care operates on the belief that your body possesses an innate ability to heal itself when it is functioning and aligned correctly. Your spine is the communication channel for your nervous system, which controls every cell, organ, and system in your body. Stress, trauma, or toxins can cause your spine to become misaligned or subluxated, which disrupts the flow of information and energy between your brain and body. This can lead to pain, dysfunction, and disease. By performing gentle adjustments to your spine and extremities, I can correct the subluxations and restore the normal function of your nervous system. This allows your body to heal itself naturally and optimally without the use of drugs or surgery. With our care, you can do what you love again, whether playing with your kids, gardening, hiking, or golfing. You can also enjoy a higher quality of life and well-being. Special Offer This Week 10% off for new patients. If you have a friend or family member looking for a chiropractor or who could benefit from our services, please refer them to our clinic. We are accepting new patients; no doctor referral is needed. We offer same and next-day appointments, bill directly to insurance and ICBC, and are open 7 days a week. As a thank you for your referral, we will give your friend or family member 10% off their initial visit. To claim these offers, mention this email when you book your appointment online or in person.

Are you suffering from pain, like a slipped disc, and experiencing secondary complaints such as hip pain, muscle soreness, and fatigue?

Dr. Cary Yurkiw can help! A professional chiropractor can assess the underlying cause of your primary pain and help treat the secondary complaints associated with it.

A slipped disc occurs when the outer layer of your vertebral disc is damaged, causing the disc to protrude or tear. This can be caused by an injury, a physical strain, or a degenerative condition. Common symptoms of a slipped disc include back pain, sciatica, and numbness or tingling in the affected areas.

At Yurkiw Chiropractic, Dr. Cary Yurkiw is trained to diagnose and treat the underlying cause of your primary pain, as well as the secondary complaints associated with it. We use a combination of manual adjustments, therapeutic exercises, Shockwave, Decompression, and lifestyle changes to improve your overall health and well-being.

Dr. Yurkiw has years of experience and will take into account your medical history, lifestyle, and any medication you may be taking to ensure that they deliver the best care possible. We work to re-align your spine and correct any areas of misalignment to reduce the effects of your slipped disc.

If you're suffering from primary pain, such as a slipped disc and experiencing secondary complaints, contact us today. Dr. Cary Yurkiw is a chiropractor that will help you find relief and provide the right treatment plan for your specific needs.

Neck Pain  What causes it? What are the symptoms?

⭐ Stiff neck. People with neck pain often describe the feeling as though their neck is “stiff” or “stuck.” Neck pain can sometimes cause a decreased range of motion

⭐ Sharp pain. Neck pain may feel like sharp or “stabbing” pain that is localized to one area

⭐ Pain when moving. Neck pain is often exacerbated by moving, twisting, or extending your cervical spine, either from side to side or up and down.

⭐ Radiating pain or numbness. Your neck pain may radiate to your head, trunk, shoulder, and arms. If your neck pain involves the compression of a nerve, you may feel numbness, tingling, or weakness in either your arms or hands. Neck pain that is from a pinched nerve may feel like a burning or sharp pain that starts at the neck and travels down the arm

Headache. Pain that starts in your neck may also produce a headache called a cervicogenic (cervical in nature) headache. Neck pain with a headache may also be a symptom of a migraine headache

Pain when palpated. Neck pain may increase if your cervical spine is palpated (physically examined)
