Dear Reader, If you or someone you know is suffering from headaches of any type, then perhaps you'll find this an interesting read... ROYGBV - no, that's not a weird chiropractic code, but rather the common acronym for the colours of the rainbow: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Violet. We'll come back to this later... Photophobia = light sensitivity, which is a frequent symptom of migraine. Fact: did you know that migraine headache affects nearly 15 percent of people worldwide?

It can be tough to jump out of bed in the morning when pain starts before your feet hit the ground. While morning pain isn’t uncommon, it doesn’t have to be a regular part of your life. With a consistent effort to identify and reduce pain while focusing on better (and more) sleep, you can keep it from slowing down your morning.

Back pain is incredibly common. In fact, about 80 percent of adults will experience low back pain at some point in their lifetimes. And more than a quarter of adults report experiencing low back pain during the past three months.

Chiropractic for Headache Relief

Many people consider a headache a normal occurrence: you pop a few pills, and it usually goes away.  If it doesn’t, you double the dose. The problem with this “pill for every ill” approach is that a headache is not normal, and should not be accepted as a normal part of life.

Chiropractic Care Helps You Sleep

If you live until you’re 85 years old, you will probably have slept for over 250,000 hours.  Your body needs this sleep to replenish your energy levels: lack of it for prolonged periods of time will cause cell and even brain damage, and created psychological problems.  Yet, millions of people continue to suffer the ill effects of insomnia.

Despite the fact that there’s no snow on the ground in the city at the current time, we can be sure that there will be a dump sooner or later.  Keeping the reality of a Toronto winter in mind, it would be wise to start thinking about snow shovelling safety.

Those who have never visited a chiropractor are probably unaware of the incredible health benefits that it can bring to your life. There is usually a misconception among many people that chiropractors are not qualified medical practitioners and as a result they don’t offer scientifically proven treatment methods, but that isn’t true. On the contrary, qualified chiropractors use natural and evidence based methods to administer treatment to their patients. All treatment that they provide have not only been clinically tested and proven to be effective but also don’t expose the patient to dangerous side effects as is usually the case with the traditional medical model.
