What is chiropractic care? What is a chiropractic adjustment? From your Oakville chiropractor at Halton Chiropractic Clinic.

WHAT IS CHIROPRACTIC?
Your Oakville chiropractor believes that wellness is a state of health where your body is free of interruption or interference to any part of the nervous system. Your Oakville chiropractor can discover problems that are interfering with your nervous system. With highly specialized hands-on healing techniques, your Oakville chiropractor will work with you to reduce and eliminate discomfort which will allow your nervous system to work at its best. After your adjustment from your Oakville chiropractor, your body will be able to heal itself and you will find relief from spinal back and neck pain.

WHAT IS A CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENT?
An adjustment made by your Oakville chiropractor is a highly skilled and precise movement applied by hand to a joint of the body. An adjustment by your Oakville chiropractor loosens the joints to restore proper movement and optimize function. When your Oakville chiropractor adjusts a joint, a gas bubble escapes which causes a popping noise. Adjustments by your Oakville chiropractor help your spine return to optimum health by restoring and maintaining nerve and joint function. With chiropractic care at Halton Chiropractic Clinic Oakville you will be healthier, pain free and living life to the fullest again.

At Halton Chiropractic Clinic Oakville we educate on the warnings signs such as headaches, back pain, neck stiffness, pain in your shoulders, arms or legs, numbness in your hands or feet. Your chiropractor at Halton Chiropractic Clinic Oakville knows much that like a tooth cavity, most people will have a subluxation long before they notice any symptoms.

At Halton Chiropractic Clinic Oakville, your chiropractor will reduce and correct subluxations with highly skilled adjustments to your spine.

However your chiropractor at Halton Chiropractic Clinic Oakville will inform you that long-term, chronic subluxations will require more frequent adjustments to retrain the problem areas of the spine to hold the vertebrae in their normal, healthy positions. You Oakville chiropractor will put you on the right track to a healthy lifestyle.

Oakville Reflexology: The stimulation of reflex points on the feet, available at Halton Chiropractic Clinic

Reiki Oakville: Channeling the Universal Life Force Energy

Reflexology is used to alleviate physical symptoms through stimulation of one "zone", the feet. Reflexology is an ancient technique from over 5000 years ago. In reflexology there are approximately 7200 nerve endings in each foot.

During a reflexology treatment, massaging foot muscles allows blood to circulate more freely. In a reflexology treatment a client will remove all footwear and relax on a table with their feet raised. The feet are cleansed prior to a reflexology treatment and then relaxed. The reflexology practitioner will stimulate the reflex points all over the feet, taking note of any pain or tenderness. Tender spots found on the feet during reflexology indicate that you may have a problem in the corresponding part of the body.


Reiki Oakville: The universe is filled with an inexhaustible supply of energy. It is this universal & productive source of power that flows through the hands of the Reiki practitioner and into the body of the receiver. Reiki is effective wherever the hands touch because Reiki hands radiate energy at any time. The Reiki practitioner directs energy to a problem in the body that is most out-of-balance.

Reiki brings the body and mind into an even balance and works on all levels; physical, spiritual and emotional. A Reiki treatment is a simple, non-intrusive process. Reiki encourages self-healing, strengthens body and soul, reduces stress and rebuilds harmony.
