👶🏻 WEE ONES DESERVE THE BEST START IN LIFE 💚

First stop on the way home from the hospital, a peaceful smile appears on baby Luca’s sweet face.

Why should kids get checked by a chiropractor after birth? Because after being squished inside mom growing, then being pushed and pulled out, and then poked and prodded with tests, they’ve been through a lot! Rule #1 about holding a baby is “support the head” because we know how unstable a newborn is, so we shouldn’t be surprised that all that stress on their neck can disrupt the simplest aspects of development. Any misalignment or restriction in the upper neck can interfere with the glossopharyngeal nerve, the spinal accessory nerve, and the vagus nerve - making it more difficult for newborns to breastfeed, turn their heads freely, and digest/sleep/soothe normally. It’s not a surprise that these are the most common challenges we see in newborns and much of it is unresolved trauma from birth! Chiropractic provides safe, gentle, and effective adjustments to restore normal neurobiomechanics, releasing tension in their bodies, and allowing them to experience this new world fully!

Chiropractic Care: More than Pain Relief

How you choose to benefit from chiropractic care is a personal choice AND based upon your overall health and condition of your body when you present for assessment!! Bottom line: it is ALWAYS better to be evaluated sooner than later AT ANY AGE for optimal health and best results from a personalized plan of management.

There are basically 3 categories of chiropractic care – acute, maintenance or supportive. ⭐️ Learning about the differences in care will explain how these approaches work to provide symptom relief and/or help ensure you are achieving your functional, mobility (movement), and lifestyle goals.

✴️ ACUTE CHIROPRACTIC CARE ... It is used for issues of the neuro-muscular-skeletal systems that have only been present for less than 3 months AND the goal is simply symptom relief... to help patients get back to their pre-injury level of function and mobility.

✴️ SUPPORTIVE CHIROPRACTIC CARE ... It is for patients who have chronic underlying conditions, issues that have been present for more than 3 months, and chiropractic care is required help to manage their symptoms and prevent issues from getting worse. While full function may not be restored, the goal is to enhance mobility, reduce discomfort, and improve overall quality of life.

✴️ MAINTENANCE CHIROPRACTIC CARE ... It is recommended to have regular chiropractic assessments to prevent future issues from developing, aim to prevent injuries, and work to maintain long-term function and movement. Instead of waiting until symptoms such as pain, stiffness, or lack of movement appear, maintenance chiropractic visits ensure your neuromusculoskeletal system (nerves, muscles, and bones) stay functioning optimally.

‼️ ALL CHIROPRACTIC care is designed to:
1. Determine CAUSE of the symptoms/issues including lifestyle factors: sleep posture, nutrition/deficiencies, fitness or lack of, stress,...
2. ADDRESS the root cause of dysfunction/symptoms, and bring relief as quickly as possible.
This may involve appropriate choices of: 🌀Chiropractic adjustments to poorly moving/misaligned spinal and/or extremity joints.
🌀Soft tissue therapy to relieve tension and improve mobility.
🌀Pain management techniques, such as ice, heat, laser therapy, or electrical stimulation
🌀Rehabilitation exercises to support healing and prevent further strain.
🌀 Lifestyle advice on posture, dietary considerations, stress reduction,...

🆘 Chiropractors are responsible to refer for Diagnostic x-rays or ultrasound, to Physiotherapy for rehab, to medical doctors for appropriate testing & illness/injury management, even to certain specialists for further assessment and best strategies for managing conditions.

*** Your care plan depends on your unique health needs. Our goal is to help you feel and function your best. ***

Introduction to Chiropractic.

From Hippocrates and Galen, to the 19th century British bone setters, the importance of the spine and nervous system as they relate to the health of the individual has long been recognized.

With increased knowledge & success, there has been a greater appreciation for natural, conservative health methods. Chiropractic has championed the concept of holistic healthcare, focused on restoring the power and integrity of the body and mind to better deal with stress and dis-ease. 

Chiropractic is directed at evaluating & locating the cause of biomechanical & structural derangements of the spine, which could affect the nervous system and the body’s natural defence mechanisms. It seeks to restore spinal structural integrity, which has an effect on the total health of the individual.

As a formal profession, Chiropractic is 130 years old in 2025, founded by a Canadian, DD Palmer.

🍱 PREP DAY … SHAPE UP YOUR NUTRITION

Nutrition is the foundation to optimal health. It will affect your energy, mood, sleep, performance, recovery, hormones, skin, fat loss/gain!… A healthy diet (NOT deprivation) is more than counting calories & macros; it is about quality food in the right amounts at the right time.

To shape up your nutrition:

🥗 Focus on consuming plenty of fruits, vegetables & whole grains. Aim for veggies on half your plate, 30 different veggies a week, eat from the rainbow.

🥚 Choose healthy proteins like eggs, fish, beans, nuts & lean meats.

💧 Drink water instead of sugary beverages. Green tea has huge health benefits. Limit coffee to 2 cups a day.

❌ Avoid high-sodium, high-sugar & highly processed foods. Pay attention to food labels to make informed choices (preservatives, colors/dyes).

🤯 PREP DAY... SHAPE UP YOUR MINDSET

Change Your Mindset. Change Your Body. Change Your Life.

Naturally, unfortunately, our brains are on default to negative mindset, merely for survival. And with the holiday season fast approaching, it is critical to be aware & prepare for stress, pressures & the busy-ness of what that usually entails! 🎄

Healthy living and reaching our goals are more than working out and eating well. The secret to success in anything is to create a POWER MINDSET. Know that it can be trained like any muscle. We can learn the power & freedom that comes from looking at life thru the lens of appreciation & reflect NOT ruminate.

IT'S BACK !!!!!!!!!

Saskatchewan Chiropractors believe that the health of all residents is vital, no matter what their social or financial standing, AND years ago we discovered that the most requested personal item needed in the cold winter months is socks. Since 2016 Chiropractors have provided a Toasty Toes Sock Drive so no one has to go without socks.

In partnership with The Salvation Army, participating clinics will collect NEW socks of all sizes and types until November 30. Another option is to donate to your clinic and they will purchase socks for you! In the 9th Annual Drive, Drs. Schulte, Siwak & Burgis have a goal to collect over 200 pairs!

Please drop off during clinic hours: Monday to Friday 8:00 – 5:00 (closed from 12-1)

Want to start a challenge with another business?? Challenge other schools?? Let us know how we can help with posters, prizes, etc!
