What area will be massaged during a session at chirocure?​
Our practitioners holistically treat the whole body and traces the discomfort as far as possible back to the original cause.
We aim to heal both the cause of the disorder as well as the symptoms.

How does massage compliment my chiropractic care?
Remedial massage therapy stimulates the flow of blood to the tissues, which allows toxins that have built up in the muscles due to overuse or injury to be removed, thus speeding up the repair process.
It also improves joint mobility and flexibility through the active release of specific muscle groups that may be reducing normal range of motion.

Can I have a massage before my Chiro appointment?
Massage can be performed as preparation for chiropractic adjustment because it relieves the muscle tension that may be pulling joints out of alignment and make it easier to move back into place.

What Remedial Massage techniques do we use at ChiroCure?
Our practitioner provide a healing treatment that can be gentle or strong, deep or shallow depending on individuals presentation and preference.

• Health Supplements. Dr.Leski often recommends a daily multivitamin, fish oil (Omega-3 fatty acids), Magnesium, and pro-biotins (healthy bacteria for your intestinal tract).

• There may be other supplements that may be suitable for your circumstances, please ask your practitioner next time you visit ChiroCure Clinic.

• Achieve Good Posture/Balance. A good posture is a balance between flexion (forward motion) and extension (backward motion). This means the muscles on the front and back of the body need to be both strong and flexible for good posture. In addition, balance from the right and left hand side of the body must be maintained. Chiropractic care at ChiroCure Clinic can help to restore the balance required for good posture.

• Sleep in the Proper Position. Sleeping on your stomach twists your neck and should be avoided. Sleeping in the foetal position reverses the spinal curves and should also be avoided. Dr. Tania Leski recommends sleeping in a neutral position. Often, placing a pillow between the knees when sleeping on your side or a pillow under the knees when sleeping on your back can help reduce back pain and are better positions for your spine.

• Invest in a Good Chair, Pillow, and Mattress. A great deal of time is spent each day using your chair at work and your mattress at night. Dr. Leski can provide personal ergonomic factors related to your specific needs regarding your workstation and chair as well as pillow and mattress recommendations. ​​

• Our Chiropractor can help you chose the right pillow for you. We offer memory foam pillows and therapeutic water pillows for purchase online or at ChiroCure Clinic.

• Pre-and Post-Exercise Activities to prevent muscle strain or ligament sprain, warm up your muscles before you exercise by walking in place or running more slowly at first and stretch your muscles after exercise.
• Stretch Your Back and Legs After Each Hour of Sitting. Whenever sitting in a car or at a desk for long periods of time, stretch at least one time each hour to help keep muscles from tightening up. This can help prevent injuries and back pain.
• Never Cradle the Phone Between Your Neck and Shoulder. Get a hands-free handset instead.
• Do Not Overload Your Backpack, Purse, or Wallet. Remember to carry your backpack over both shoulders to balance the weight. Children’s backpacks should weigh no more than 15% of their body weight. Keep your wallet out of your back pocket when sitting and especially when driving.

Does therapeutic treatment help?
Therapeutic treatment including massage therapy aims to relieve blocked sinus and fascial muscles that can cause blockages. 
Techniques applied by our massage therapists include treatment to the head,  face, neck and torso to ensure that the skull bones move freely and “breathe”, permitting body fluids to drain without interference.

What does treatment at ChiroCure involve?
Our therapy generally involves soft massage of the nose, forehead and cheeks, to release the pressure on the sinus cavities and allow for free drainage of fluids.

Our Practitioners helpful hints to help you avoid a sinus attack…

• Wash your hands to avoid contracting colds
• Maintain a balanced diet to prevent infection
• Avoid alcohol and cigarettes, which stimulates sinus inflammation.
• Maintain regular treatment to keep the immune system healthy.

** Prevention of sinus infection is much less painful and debilitating with massage treatment at ChiroCure Clinic!

• Hydration Help Remove Toxins from the body
• Keeping properly hydrated is even more important for patients who undergo chiropractic treatments.
• Patients may experience a variety of mild side effects for the first 24 hours following an adjustment, ranging from headache, to nausea, to dizziness. This is actually perfectly natural.
• When the body is put into proper alignment from a chiropractic adjustment, it releases all the tension it has been holding.
• At the same time, it will release various toxins that may have built up as a result of that tension.

​
​Dr. Tania Leski recommends that patients keep hydrated following any chiropractic adjustment, as doing so will help eliminate toxins from the body more quickly. This will greatly cut down on the severity and length of time for any side effects from the adjustment.

• Numerous studies have shown the importance of drinking water to maintain a healthy, well-balanced body.
• It is important to stay hydrated to maintain proper kidney and digestive function, and remove waste and toxins from the body.
• The human body is made up of 60 percent water, but every day some of this water is lost due to breathing, perspiration, and urination.
• To replenish this supply, people should drink plenty of water.
• Although there is no set rule for everyone, ChiroCure Clinic practitioners suggests an average of eight cups of water per day.​
