In today’s world most people are living a high stress lifestyle, trying to somehow balance between long days at work and busy family lives. A constant feeling of being on the run and the inability to dedicate enough time for oneself to relax and wind-down leads to stress which can have a detrimental effect on overall health.

 

Individuals subject to stress have an increased risk of becoming affected by vertebral subluxations, resulting in a lowered immune system adversely affecting the body’s ability to fight off illness or disease thereby decreasing health potential.

 

Vertebral subluxations are subtle misalignments of the spinal joints causing nerve interference and decreased communication in the nervous system. Because the nervous system controls all function in the body, these misalignments negatively impact this communication link and may directly impair overall health resulting in dysfunction and disease.

 

It is therefore important to treat any form of misalignment in the spinal joints and nervous system to ensure that the spine stays in proper alignment and the nervous system stays in optimal working order.

 

Chiropractic care is dedicated to treating the body with a non invasive drug free approach that involves supporting and strengthening the spinal column and surrounding joints.

 

These treatments are designed to get to the root-cause of spinal stress unlike drugs and other forms of treatment which often seek to mask or control symptoms instead of curing them.

 

Finding a chiropractor to help improve your health can be a simple as asking a friend for a referral.

 

Dr. Mark Fleet is the owner of the Harbourview Family Chiropractic Clinic located in Oakville Ontario. He has been dedicated to providing chiropractic care in Oakville for over 14 years. He has treated a wide range of fellow neighbours ranging in age from newborns to seniors. His outstanding dedication and care for the health and well-being of his patients has earned him the trust and gratitude of those he treats.

 

During the initial examination Dr. Fleet takes advantage of cutting edge technology including electromyography and thermography to help diagnose any dysfunction in the spine. Electromyography involves placing sensor probes along the muscles running parallel to the spine to determine the electrical activity readings. Muscles that are in a higher state of contraction are often not as relaxed as they should be and therefore give off more energy. Thermography is a device whereby an infrared camera takes reading of different areas of the spine and compares them side to side to determine how much stress the spinal nerves and internal organs are under. Both these scans are very non invasive, painless and take little time to perform.

 

Once the initial examination is complete, a second visit is booked to discuss individual findings and appropriate treatment to correct the underlying cause of symptoms and ill health.

 

As treatment progresses Dr. Fleet continually monitors progress to ensure patients are on the proper road to recovery.

 

Dr. Fleet’s friendly manner and the clinic’s outstanding staff make for a comfortable and relaxing experience for any patient, young or old.
