Chiropractic treatment is suitable for everyone, regardless of age. However, certain periods of life, certain professions or certain sports are more conducive to "overuse" of joints, muscles or tendons, or to the adoption of inappropriate gestures and postures.
For pregnant women, the change in posture associated with pregnancy puts stress on the back and belly, also affecting the baby's development.
Chiropractic care during pregnancy facilitates a faster, less tiring delivery for both mother and child.
Knee pain, ankle sprains or scoliosis are excellent reasons to take your child to a chiropractor.
But also think about it if you have difficulty concentrating, digesting or sleeping.
These symptoms may be linked to abnormal mobility of the skull, pelvis or back, resulting in nervous system dysfunction.
Usain Bolt and Andy Murray, among others, benefit from regular chiropractic care.
Why?
- Better body perception (proprioception)
- Increased muscular reactivity
- A better balance
- Preserves joint flexibility
Do you really know your body?
Sportsmen and women sometimes have a violent relationship with their bodies, and when they feel pain they wait until the final stage to consult a doctor or reduce their efforts.
By enabling the body to find a perfect balance between the articular, neurological and muscular systems, the chiropractor optimizes the potential and vital energy of both top-level and amateur athletes.
Whiplash injuries should be treated by specialists such as chiropractors.
Long-term consequences such as impaired vision, jaw problems or mood disorders are often overlooked.
Cervical or back pain, dizziness or headaches are more "telling" signs that prompt prompt consultation.
However, following the acceleration/deceleration characteristic of whiplash, it's your brain that suffers the greatest trauma, even without direct impact on the head.
The result is a temporary inflammation of the brain, which needs to be managed to ensure the best possible recovery.
A functional neurological examination by the chiropractor is essential before any mobilization of the head or neck.
During follow-up, chiropractic care, physiotherapy and orthoptic (eye) sessions are often combined.
