The nervous system is remarkably adaptable, which is both a strength and a challenge when it comes to spinal care. When patterns of restriction have been present for a long time, the brain learns to work around them rather than correct them.😬 Regular adjustments give the nervous system consistent, accurate input, helping it relearn what normal movement actually feels like.🌿 Call us today to book your next adjustment.

Did You Wake Up This Morning and Realize You're No Longer 25?

Maybe you sneezed and your back locked up.

Maybe you bent over to tie your shoe and your spine filed a
formal complaint.

Maybe you slept wrong... and now your neck feels like it belongs to someone 50 years older.

We've heard them all !!

The good news? At Gillis Chiropractic & Wellness, we can almost always see new or existing chiropractic patients the same day they call.

That means you don't have to spend the next two weeks:

❌ Walking like a penguin
❌ Turning your entire body to check your blind spot
❌ Making strange noises every time you stand up
❌ Explaining to your friends that your injury occurred while "doing something really dangerous"... like getting out of bed

Whether you're dealing with:
✔ Back pain
✔ Neck pain
✔ Sciatica
✔ Headaches
✔ Joint pain
✔ Nerve pain

Our goal is to get you assessed quickly and help you get back to doing the things you enjoy.

With 29 years of experience serving the Saint John community, Dr. Steve Gillis has seen just about every way the human body can decide to protest.

Because pain may be inevitable... but waiting weeks for an appointment doesn't have to be.

Same-day appointments are available for most new and existing patients !!

Soft tissue work alongside spinal adjustments can make a meaningful difference for patients dealing with persistent muscle tension. When the muscles surrounding a joint are tight, they can pull the joint back out of alignment quickly after an adjustment. Combining both approaches gives the body a better chance to hold the improvement. Ask us whether this combination might be right for your situation.

I’m embarrassed to say this took me 2 hours. And it’s still not straight.

Most of you can relate 😂

The sacroiliac joint, where the base of the spine meets the pelvis, is one of the most commonly overlooked sources of lower back and hip discomfort.😣 It absorbs a significant amount of the force generated during walking and standing, and when it loses its normal movement, the surrounding muscles often compensate in ways that create tension further up the spine. A targeted adjustment to this joint can produce noticeable relief.😌

Some people assume they need to be in significant pain before chiropractic care is worth pursuing. In reality, many patients find it most valuable as a preventive tool.🛡️ Addressing small movement restrictions before they become chronic problems is one of the most practical investments you can make in long-term physical health.💪🏼 We would be happy to talk through what care might look like for you.

Most people who visit a chiropractor for the first time are surprised to learn that care isn't just about pain relief.😮‍💨 Many patients come in to improve how well their body moves, to manage recurring tension before it becomes a bigger problem, or to support their nervous system function as part of an overall approach to health.🌿 Let’s book you next appointment today!
