Allergies
Report
Allergies Many allergic and asthmatic reactions are caused because of hypersensitivity of the immune system and chiropractic care can help.

Allergies are often treated with chiropractic care. Many allergic and asthmatic reactions are caused by hypersensitivity of the immune system and/or respiratory system. Researchers have found that the immune and respiratory systems depend on normal communication from the brain and spinal cord to control and coordinate their functions properly.

Therefore, if your neck is misaligned, it could cause an imbalance in your nervous system function. This upper cervical spinal joint irritation could possibly produce or exaggerate asthmatic and allergic symptoms. For example; many asthma and allergy sufferers have had traumas such as head injuries, auto accidents, or falls which could have injured their upper cervical spines. The good news is that we can perform an upper cervical examination to determine if chiropractic care can reduce your allergic and asthmatic reactions. Schedule an appointment today!
Auto Accidents
Report
Auto Accidents Many studies have shown that years after whiplash victims settle their insurance claims, roughly half of them state that they still suffer with symptoms from their injuries.

If you have been involved in a car accident, whiplash injuries need to be taken very seriously. Because symptoms of a whiplash injury can take weeks or months to manifest, it is easy to be mislead into thinking that you are not as injured as you really are.

Too often people don't seek treatment following a car accident because they don't feel hurt. By far, the most common injury to the neck is a whiplash injury. Whiplash is caused by a sudden movement of the head, either backward, forward, or sideways, and the consequence is a damage to the supporting muscles, ligaments and other connective tissues in the neck and upper back.

Unfortunately, by the time more serious complications develop, some of the damage from the injury may have become permanent. A lot of studies have shown that years after whiplash victims settle their insurance claims, roughly half of them state that they still suffer with symptoms from their injuries. If you have been in a motor vehicle or any other kind of accident, don't assume that you escaped injury if you are not currently in pain. Contact us today!
Bedwetting
Report
Bedwetting A lot of of clinical research studies demonstrate that chiropractic care can help with bedwetting by removing any irritation that may be affecting the nerves that control bladder function.

Bedwetting is stressful for everyone involved. Lack of bladder control can cause embarrassment, shame, and interfere with normal social development. All of the reasons of bed-wetting are not fully understood. There are children whose bladders are underdeveloped for their age and who have difficulty recognizing when their bladder is full. This is much more common in children under four years of age.

If a child, who had been dry at night for a period of time - weeks or months - suddenly starts bed-wetting again, this may be a sign that something is wrong. Most often this occurs when some form of stress is in the child's life: a new baby in the home, moving to a new neighborhood, or a divorce. Bedwetting may also be a sign of physical or sexual abuse or some other disease process. If your child wets the bed after having been dry at night in the past, it is important that they be seen by a doctor. The bed-wetting may be a sign that stress or a disease is causing the problem.

Chiropractic can help by eliminating any irritation that may be affecting the nerves that control bladder function. These nerves exit an area of the spine called the Sacrum. In adults, the sacrum is one large fused bone that is very resistant to injury. However, during childhood, the sacrum is separated into five individual segments. If these segments become misaligned, due to a fall or other type of trauma, they can compromise the nerves that are responsible for bladder function. While chiropractic is not an usual treatment for bedwetting, countless children have been helped by being adjusted. In fact, a number of clinical research studies have demonstrated that chiropractic care can help many children suffering from bedwetting. Contact us today!

Dr. Danielle is hands down, the BEST! She is down to earth, informative and just really knows her stuff. She genuinely cares about her patients and wants to help. She has been my saving grace for my neck and back. She is amazing at her job. The only chiropractor that I have ever truly noticed a difference in my body after visiting. If I could give 10 stars, I would! Make an appointment! You will love her!

I have been seeing Dr. Alex for about a year now. Ever since my first appointment, I felt very well taken care of when at the office. The location is great, office environment is friendly, and the treatment I have received has truly been tailored to my health needs. Dr. Alex is very professional and has listened to my health concerns, explained what can be done to assist, and treated accordingly. This is a great clinic!

Dr. Alex is the best! Caring, attentive, extremely knowledgeable and takes the time to explain to the patient what's going on. Dr. Alex has worked wonders for my neck pain and back issues. I also like the friendly staff and cleanliness of the office which made me feel very safe and comforable despite the Covid-19 pandemic. Would highly recommend!

This is the best chiro experience I've had. Over the years, I've gone to several chiropractors and Dr. Alex is by far the most friendly and knowledgeable person in her field. Highly recommended.

My family and I love our visits to University Chiropractic! Dr. Danielle is so personable and lovely, so is the office staff, and we really feel at home there. She adjusts my husband and I and our two kids. I personally have noticed that I hardly wake up with stiff necks anymore, and I have less back pain (busy mom here) since I started seeing her! She has helped my husband immensely with arthritis in his lower back--he is no longer in daily pain since he started seeing her for it.

Dr. Danielle is hands down the best chiropractor I've been to. After having regular chiro visits for over 20 years, I was unable to get in to see my doc during an emergency pain situation and was referred to Dr. Danielle. She completely gave me new -- way more accurate -- information about my issues. She put me on a path of solving my chronic problems as opposed to tolerating them. Changed my life. I am virtually pain free and not needed constant care anymore. In SIX MONTHS. Highly recommended.

Always caring, friendly and knowledgeable. Love the KST. Central location near subway, Loblaws (for a quick stop on the way home) and parking in front.

Love these people! Knowledgeable, professional and always looking for ways to make me feel special. I highly recommend them!

I highly recommend this team to everyone! Especially pregnant women. I found Dr. Sandra Childers when I was pregnant with my first child 5 years ago and I'm SO glad that I did. She made my pregnancy so much more comfortable and I truly believe set me up for the easiest delivery possible. I've stuck with her and she is great with babies and kids too! My son loves going to the Chiropractor. Dr. Kirk is also amazing and very thorough. They listen to what's really bothering you and they truly care.
