“Is chiropractic and physiotherapy safe for my child?” It is a valid concern. After all, children are still growing, their bones are developing, and their muscles, joints and nervous systems are constantly changing. As someone working in the musculoskeletal healthcare environment, one thing that stands out is how important early intervention, proper assessment and age-appropriate…

Have you ever gone to bed feeling perfectly fine, only to wake up with a stiff neck, a sore back, or that uncomfortable feeling that you haven’t rested properly? You stretch. You turn your head. You try to loosen your back. And then you wonder: “Could my pillow be the problem?” “Is my mattress too…

Strong bones; When was the last time you thought seriously about your bones, muscles, joints, tendons, and ligaments? For many of us, the answer is probably: when something starts to hurt.
