Arthritis Month. Please read on.

September is Arthritis Awareness Month. We're sharing four examples of how a chiropractor can provide you with drug-free, non-invasive ways to manage your arthritis and its pain.

Following an initial assessment, history, and physical examination, your chiropractor can recommend which treatments are appropriate for your specific arthritis management needs.

1. PATIENT EDUCATION: Education builds confidence. Chiropractors provide guidance on pacing, flare‑up management, and self‑care strategies that help you stay active and in control.

2. SPINAL MANIPULATION: Spinal manipulation may offer short‑term pain and mobility improvements for patients with some forms of arthritis.

3. SOFT-TISSUE THERAPY: Soft‑tissue techniques may reduce muscle tension and help improve your mobility.

4. EXERCISE GUIDANCE: Exercise is the foundation of arthritis care. Chiropractors guide patients toward safe, effective movements that improve strength, mobility, and daily function.

Looking for a spine, muscle and joint expert to help you prevent or manage your arthritis? Visit your local chiropractor! In Ontario, you can visit a chiropractor without a referral from a family physician or other health care professional.

It's soon back-to-school time for many of our students in Orillia and surrounding areas. For the parents, after school supplies are secured, perhaps, a posture check is in order? Do they have good posture? Are they bent over with a hunched look? Are they tired, easily, complain of headaches, or back and neck pain? If yes, consider booking them for a posture check and spinal exam. A few key adjustments and exercises, now, can help prevent a host of troubles later in life. I always remember the saying about young spines, "As the twig is bent, so grows the tree." And for the rest of us without children in our homes, we will be cautious on the roads, especially in school zones. Good luck to All.

Adding Manual Therapy to an Exercise Program Improves Long-Term Patient Outcomes Over Exercise Alone in Patients with Subacromial Shoulder Pain: A Randomized Clinical Trial
In our office we see and treat a large number of shoulder conditions including rotator cuff, tendonitis, and general stiffness and pain. All of these are classified as subacromial shoulder pain. We have seen very favourable results in most patients. As a Chiropractor I was sure the reason we help so many people is the addition of manual therapy, specifically spinal adjustments, in addition to mobilizing the shoulder, releasing sore muscles, and giving home exercises. This study supports this premise that adding manual therapy to the tried and true benefit of resistance exercises for shoulders is even more effective.
Manipulation usually includes the neck and upper back, although recent studies have also shown that upper back treatments are often just as effective as neck and upper back manipulations. Patients in our office always have the choice to be adjusted the way they like, and, where they like.
