35 Weeks and Counting!

May is here and I am 35 weeks along in my pregnancy! I enjoyed a lovely baby shower this past weekend that my mom and sister planned for me. Time is really flying!

I have been very fortunate to feel healthy and well during my pregnancy to continue treating my patients.  The baby's estimated due date is June 5th so I am hoping that I will be able to work up until at least Friday May 16th.  After the May long weekend, I will assess if I can work longer at a very reduced schedule.  I will most likely begin maternity leave starting the last week of May.

As I will be reducing my schedule in May, patients please book any last appointments with me at AIM Health Group (905) 812-0644 for chiropractic treatment or if you require orthotics as soon as possible.  I will be on maternity leave for a few months.  In the interim, Dr. Ken Kinakin, my colleague at AIM, will be treating my patients.

Please let me know if you require any referrals for massage therapy and/or physiotherapy.  I have some great colleagues to refer you to during my maternity leave!

Lower Back Injuries in Volleyball and Core Strengthening for Prevention

1/4/2014

Lower back pain is a common volleyball injury.  It can often progress from an acute injury into a chronic problem if not treated appropriately.  Common causes for lower back injuries in volleyball are not warming up enough before playing, overarching the spine during a spike, serve or set, diving for a ball and landing improperly, having an overall lack of strength in the core muscles, and decreased overall flexibility.  

As a chiropractor, I see many volleyball athletes that have lower back pain.  I commonly see the joints in the lumbar (lower) and sacro-iliac (SI) spine get jammed up and misaligned.  Also ligaments crossing the joints and muscles in the lower back, gluteals, and hips get sprained and strained.  Spine adjustments, soft tissue techniques like Active Release Technique® and Graston Technique®, acupuncture, and KinesioTaping® are excellent to decrease back pain quickly.  If you are experiencing back pain that is not resolving, please consult with your chiropractor, physiotherapist, athletic therapist, doctor, etc.  There may be an underlying injury that requires an x-ray or MRI.
