Focus on Pain Prevention this Summer at Vancouver Orthotic Clinics
Benjamin Franklin is quoted as saying, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” I couldn’t agree more. I do not, however, agree with that other adage, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” More on that below. Hi, Dr. Michael Horowitz here, your friendly neighborhood chiropractor in Vancouver, and owner of Vancouver Orthotic Clinics. At our offices throughout the Lower Mainland of BC we treat a variety of conditions, such as flat feet, foot pain, ankle, knee, hip, neck and back pain. All too often we see patients only to correct their bodies by the time they’re already in pain. The damage has been done. If we wait for our bodies to break down and allow weeks, months, even years of neglect, and this can lead to a more challenging approach to treatment. Sometimes damage cannot be undone, that’s why we like to promote early intervention and prevention strategies in health care. This is after all, our holistic chiropractic approach.
This month, we hope you’ll stop pain in its tracks with information about our featured summer symptoms for active folks. Shin splints and sciatica, also known as anterior tibial tendonitis is a repetitive strain injury affecting runners, and those involved in field and racquet sports.
Shin splints is a sensation of shearing pain in the lower leg. Sciatica is a very common cause of low back pain. Patients may experience numbness, tingling and weakness down the leg. Typically it is felt past the knee joint into the foot. These two conditions can be painful and debilitating. For more on symptoms and solutions of shin splints and sciatica click here for this special post.
At Vancouver Orthotic Clinics our team believes good posture starts from the ground up, so for better posture and alignment and shock absorption, we’d like you to consider having your feet examined at one of our clinics. We offer diagnosis and treatment and often recommend custom orthotics to fit into your favorite shoes.
All patients start off with the consultation postural foot and spine exam. Ultimately, this leads to both a diagnosis and a treatment plan. We use the newest 3D Gate Scan technology and we can recommend a variety of options to keep you moving well and pain free. So let’s fireproof your body with early detection and prevention.
