AURORA CHIROPRACTIC is closed until Feb 2, 2021. Stay healthy & happy. We look forward to seeing you soon! Here's an interesting article by Jack Linshi.... Your Candy Crush addiction might be harming your neck more than your productivity, according to new research. Looking down at your phone can add up to 60 pounds of pressure on your spine, depending on the angle. That’s according to a new study from spinal surgeon Dr. Kenneth Hansraj and published in Surgical Technology International. People spend two to four hours per day on average with their heads tilted downward in activities like texting and reading, the study said. Over the course of a year, that time adds up to 700 to 1,400 hours of excess stress on the cervical spine, or up to 5,000 hours for high school students. Over time, this causes a hunched-forward position and increases the risk of spinal wear and tear. It’s nearly impossible to avoid the technologies that cause these issues, Dr. Hansraj wrote in the report. But people can take preventative steps by looking at their phones while maintaining good posture, defined as having one’s ears aligned with their shoulders.

Please remember that we're a SCENT FREE clinic. Although your perfume or cologne might smell wonderful, it may have detrimental results to patients who have allergies. Thank you.

Happy New Years! Nothing like a tasty charcuterie tray that resembles a spine!

Good morning! Here's something fun to try. Open the link below. You will see the entire earth. There are numerous green spots around the earth. These green dots are local radio stations. Touch the green dot and play the local radio station. It's amazing! You can listen to any radio station in the world. We haven't picked a favourite yet. There are so many good ones!

Our clinic remains temporarily closed for the safety of our patients and community. Hope all of you are doing well and continuing on with physical distancing. These next two weeks are so important! With so much time on our hands, we decided to paint the entire upper floor of our home, including our fireplace! Change is so refreshing! It feels so much more positive to be doing something productive. Stay Safe and enjoy this precious time with your pod! ... #makinglemonadeoutoflemons See more

Dear patients, As the health and safety of our patients, staff and community is of the greatest importance to us, in following public health authority recommendations on social distancing we have made the difficult decision to temporarily close our clinic in an effort to help slow the spread of COVID-19. Please be advised that Aurora Chiropractic will be closed effective immediately.... All scheduled appointments for this time period will be cancelled/postponed, and patients will be contacted as soon as possible. We will be reassessing the situation at the end of March regarding rescheduling. Please note that we will be monitoring advisories by the public health authorities closely and will update you if we need to extend this projected re-opening date. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Trust that we recognize the importance of your health care appointments and appreciate your understanding as we navigate this unprecedented and challenging situation together. Best regards, Dr. Bradley Kerr, DC

After much deliberation in the wake of world events regarding Covid-19, we feel it is in the best interests of our patients and community to suspend chiropractic treatments, effective immediately. We feel it is important to take a proactive rather than a reactive course at this time. Please continue to follow our page for updates and tips for self care in the upcoming weeks. At the end of March, we will re-evaluate the situation and keep you posted. We apologize for any ...inconvenience. We regret having to take this measure, but feel it is the responsible course of action to take to help mitigate the situation.

If you’re calling our clinic and getting a busy signal, it is because our phoneline is down and the best Telus can do is to send someone tomorrow. We apologize for the inconvenience.
