What Can A Chiropractor Do For Me?
Doctors of Chiropractic are skilled primary care health care professionals, who specialize in diagnosing and treating neuro-musculoskeletal disorders (conditions involving the nerves, muscles and joints) within their scope of practice. Chiropractors believe in treating the whole individual, and practice without drugs or surgery. Treatments usually involve a chiropractic adjustment, which is a gentle, directed pressure and soft tissue release.
Doctors of Chiropractic believe that dynamics exist between lifestyle, environment and health. In addition to clinical treatment, the Chiropractor at Horseshoe Wellness Chiropractic & Acupuncture is a great source of information related to nutrition, lifestyle and exercise. Our Chiropractor will gladly make a referral to another appropriate health care provider when chiropractic care is not suitable for a patient's condition, or the condition warrants co-management in conjunction with other members of the health care team.
Chiropractic care may also be used to provide symptomatic relief for patients with chronic conditions. According to patient surveys, by treating the neuromusculoskeletal elements of such disorders, chiropractic treatment has been shown to improve the general well-being of the patient.

A custom orthotic is a device designed to align the foot & ankle into the most anatomically efficient position. They look like insoles, but are biomechanical medical appliances custom made to correct your specific foot imbalance. Custom orthotics work on your feet much like glasses work on your eyes - they reduce stress and strain on your body by bringing your feet back into proper alignment. Custom orthotics fit into your shoes as comfortably as an insole & they have the advantage of having been made from precise imprints of your feet.
The symptoms of poor foot mechanics can include any one of the following:
-localized foot pain
-bunions, hammer toes
-arch/heel pain
-leg/knee pain
-hip or back pain- even neck pain

Orthotic Assessment is included in this pricing and will entail gait observation (pattern of walking), orthopaedic testing, gait analysis by using a gaitscan which scans the foot, maps foot pressure and produces a 3D image to make your custom orthotic.
