doubling down on chiropractic care, your fitness program, making better food choices and your nutritional supplements.

DOUBLING DOWN ON HEALTH PRACTICES FOR 2021 Hello everyone. Dr Brad here and this will be my last post for this year, and what a year it has been! This was to be our version of the ‘roaring twenties’, but the roar quickly turned into an ugly, nasty growl. Just like most of you, I am so looking forward to a new year; at least a new number anyway. I’m thinking that as we move forward, there is going to be a lot of discussion about health.... What is health? What does it mean to be healthy? Does health come from outside of you? Does health come from within you? What things should you do? What things should you not do? What things should you take? What things should you not take? For me personally, I have decided to double down on my own health habits. And I have already started. I am doubling down on those things that work for me; my chiropractic care, my fitness program, making better food choices and my nutritional supplements. The way I see it I have to be as healthy as I can for as long as I can. I have two kids that I need to help navigate through this new strange world. Unfortunately, most of my life experiences, wisdom and knowledge that I intended on sharing with them may not be all that applicable in this circumstance. We all may be flying by the seat of our pants for a while. And I need to be as healthy as I can for as long as I can so I can be here to serve you guys and provide you with the best chiropractic care that I possibly can. In my view, chiropractic care is the most important thing that anyone can do for their health. Chiropractic helps you move better. And when you move better, you feel better. And it’s not just feeling better physically. You also feel better mentally and emotionally. Every single one of my practice members would share with you a story on how chiropractic has benefited them. Less depression, less anxiety, sleeping better, bowels work better, less headaches, can walk the dog without extreme backache after 10 minutes, we finally made a baby, my 3-year-old child has fewer chest colds . the list goes on and on. I am not saying that chiropractic cures these things, but I am saying that chiropractic care helps your body work better. And that includes healing itself which is what it was designed to do. Let me say again your body was designed to HEAL ITSELF and has the capacity to heal itself from anything. And who does not deserve to have a body that works better . every single person deserves that. We all do! It is more important now than ever. So as we move forward into 2021, I want you guys to know that I have your back. You can count on me to guide you and help you and your family stay as healthy as possible. Because without health, everything else will start to crumble. Best wishes to you all!

Today we are going to talk about seasonal affective disorder (SAD). This is when people feel down and depressed during the winter months. This is why I want to give you some tips on how you can get out in front of this now especially if you are the type to get down during the gloomy... winter months. See more

TWO THINGS FOR IMMUNITY Hello everyone. Dr Brad here and today we are going to talk about immunity. This is a topic on a lot of people’s minds lately. There are two very affordable and highly effective things that I think every single one of us should be doing:... 1) Supplementing with zinc, and 2) Supplementing with Vitamin D3 Many studies have shown that zinc deficiency causes a severe impairment of immune system function. Other studies show that D3 plays an important role in immune function. It activates your T-cells which are critical for fighting off bacteria, viruses and infections. T-cells are superstars in fighting off infections. So, how much zinc should one take? 3 mg per day age 7 months to 3 years. 5 mg per day age 4 to 13 years. 10 mg per day 14+ years of age. And how much D3 should one take? First of all I recommend the LIQUID form. You can put the drops right into your smoothie or protein shake or right onto your food. Once you have finished breast-feeding your child (that’s where babies get their immunity from because their immune system isn’t fully active until at least 12 months), 200 International Units (IU) per day for kids and 500 IU per day for teenagers and adults. Personally, from the beginning of October through till the end of March, when there is less sunshine and it's cold outside, I double up and take 1000 IU per day. This has worked exceptionally well for me and many of my practice members, and I am confident it will work just as well for you and your kids too. Where to buy? Goodness Me, Healthy Planet and Nature’s Emporium all have a vast selection for you to choose from. #burlingtonchiropractor #naturallyhealthy #immunebooster

TIPS ON HOW TO DEAL WITH SAD Hello everyone. Dr Brad here again and today we are going to talk about seasonal affective disorder (SAD). This is when people feel down and depressed during the winter months. It no surprise there is a lot more anxiety and depression out there due to this whole Covid thing. I have, unfortunately, observed this within my own practice. This is why I want to give you some tips on how you can get out in front of this now, especially if you are the ty...pe to get down during the gloomy winter months. I’d rather you deal with this holistically instead of taking those wicked meds that often times have unfavourable side effects, or at least try these first. First of all, EXERCISE!! Make a commitment with your self to get to the gym a few times per week, or take a yoga class or get out for a walk when the weather is tolerable. The change of scenery and the endorphin release from exercising is a great natural mood elevator. You can also get yourself a sun lamp. You can purchase them affordably on Amazon. Studies show that sun lamps have a positive impact on serotonin production a hormone which has been linked to depression when levels are low. Spinal alignments . these flood your body with endorphins. Endorphins are your feel-good hormones and many people remark that after having an alignment, they feel like they are ‘walking on air.’ So do everything you can to naturally release and flood your body with endorphins, because they too can lead to depression when levels are low. And finally, be careful what you are saying to yourself because your body is always listening.

The holidays are just a few weeks away and holidays can be stressful at the best of times. And the way things are now with restrictions and pandemic fear, these holidays may be a little more stressful than we are typically used to. One of the most common things to accompany stress is headaches.... And this is the last thing any of us need right now are headaches; either we start getting them or we get more than we typically do. Here are a few tips for you to prevent this from happening.

Did you know that females tend to hold a lot of their stress in the lower lumbar area? Mental/emotional stress, kid stress, relationship stress, not to mention the physical stress from all the hard work that you do. This can often times lead to chronic lower back ache and if this sounds like you, I have a few helpful tips for you today.

TIPS TO HELP MOMS’ LOW BACK PAIN Hello everyone. Dr Brad Ivanchuk here. Last time we talked about lower back pain in kids. But what about all you hard-working and over-stressed moms out there? I really feel for you all. It is a challenging time for many of us. Did you know that females tend to hold a lot of their stress in the lower lumbar area? Mental / emotional stress, kid stress, relationship stress, not to mention the physical stress from all the hard work that you do. T...his can often times lead to chronic lower back ache. If this sounds like you, I have a few helpful tips for you today. First of all, should you apply ice or heat on an achy back? Wherever you feel achy and sore, there is always a degree of underlying inflammation. If you apply heat directly over a sore spot, this will ESCALATE the underlying inflammation and make the problem even WORSE. Cold packs, therefore, are the best thing to do. Apply 10 to 15 minutes over the sore area every couple of hours. Cold has ANTI-INFLAMMATORY properties. There is nothing wrong, however, with a warm salt bath as long as you apply a cold compress before and afterwards. Stretching your back is also another thing you can do but you have to know which stretches you should do, and which stretches you shouldn’t do. This will be different for every person depending upon what the exact problem is. I will be able to help you with this. You can reach out to me on Facebook, the contact form on our homepage or a simple phone call. And remember too, that spinal alignments are an excellent drug-free way to help with lower back ache.

BENEFITS OF PEDIATRIC PLAY Hello everyone. Dr Brad Ivanchuk here. I am a Burlington, Ontario chiropractor at Life Chiropractic Centre on Guelph Line. I am also a American Posture Institute Certified Posture Expert and Postural Neurologist. Today we are going to learn about pediatric play. Pediatric play is the best way to avoid two things: nature deficit and exercise deficit. Both of these can be real concerns, especially if your kids are home schooling.... The daily requirement for kids is 60 minutes (minimum) of moderate to vigorous exercise. Exercise for kids should be fun and playful and with other kids. Exercise benefits skill acquisition, helps to reduce stress, provides an environment for developing social skills, and can even benefit academic performance. And greenspace time (time in nature) has been shown to benefit mental health, emotional health and behavioral health. The positive benefits of greenspace time peak between 200 and 300 minutes in nature every week. So please make sure to let the children play especially if they are schooling at home.

LOW BACK PAIN SOLUTIONS FOR KIDS Hello all. Dr Brad here again. Today we are going to talk about lower back pain in kids. This is a real issue of concern as four out of 10 kids complain of lower back pain while sitting (in class). If your kids do complain of back ache and stiffness, I have a couple of helpful tips for you today. One, is you can have them sit on an exercise ball or a posture disc while they are doing their homework/studies. Sitting on an exercise ball or postu...re disc will automatically engage their core muscles forcing them to sit up straight preventing them from collapsing into that dreaded C-posture. C-posture is hard an all parts of the spine including the lower back. Secondly, you could invest in a sit-stand capable desk. Our recommendation at the American Posture Institute is to stand for 40 minutes and sit for 20 minutes every hour they are doing their homework. If they are going to be sitting only, remind them to take their 60 second posture break every 30 minutes. And finally, remember that spinal alignments are hugely effective in helping people (of all ages) who suffer from lower back ache. If you would like to know more, you can reach out to me on Facebook, there is also a contact form right on the home page of our website, or simply call us at 905 335 LIFE (5433).

KIDS POSTURE THE ‘C GENERATION’ Hello everyone. Dr Brad here again. I am a Burlington, Ontario chiropractor at Life Chiropractic Centre on Guelph Line. I am also a Certified Posture Expert with the American Posture Institute. For the next while we are going to be talking about pediatrics and posture. ... Before we get into it we need to learn about the ‘C Generation.’ The C-Generation are those kids born between 1995 and 2015. What we are seeing in this modern group of pediatric patients is that more and more of them have a C-shaped spinal curve (S-shaped is normal), which is prominent throughout their developmental years. This is not what nature intended. This is a primitive postural presentation seen normally in infants and geriatrics only. And one of the main causes of this is technology. Kids born between 1995 and 2015 have been using technology since a very early age. They had their Gameboys, X-boxes, play stations, they got their 1st cell phones (games and texting), and there was a literal explosion of computer use in the home and at school. This was the first generation of kids that have been immersed in technology and it is the same group of kids that we are collecting our data from. If you have ever had to tell your kids to sit up straight you have already detected a problem. Over the next few weeks I am going to help you as parents, understand the potential developmental disorders and functional disorders that can result from a C-shaped spine. Remember that good posture is by design and not by circumstance.

A lot of school-aged kids and students in high-school, college and university will be studying at home for the foreseeable future. They will be spending a lot more time with their devices and on their computers attending online and virtual classes. So, now it is more important than ever that we as parents teach our kids how to maintain a healthy posture system while they interact with technology (cell phones, tablets, computers etc.). Poor posture resulting from improper use of technology can lead to physical health problems, mental-emotional health problems and even low self-esteem...

HEALTHY TECHNOLOGY BOUNDARIES AT HOME Hello everyone. Dr Brad Ivanchuk here. I am a Burlington, Ontario chiropractor at Life Chiropractic Centre on Guelph Line. I am also a Certified Posture Expert with the American Posture Institute. Today we are going to talk about healthy technology boundaries for your home. Here are 4 things to consider .... Remember to use all handheld devices at eye level. If your kids use an ipad frequently, consider investing in a stand. Secondly, make it a rule that for the first hour every morning, your kids do not engage with any technology. Let them get through their morning routine without any interruptions. And let their right brains flourish for an hour or so. This is the creative and artistic side of the brain. Many of us typically do not spend enough time in right brain mode. As soon as we interact with technology, we flip into left brain mode (thinking/analytical) and stay there for the rest of the day. This needs to be better balanced. Another thing you can do is make an agreement that there are no devices at the dinner table. Take the opportunity for some real human interaction and communication with other family members. And finally, no technology at least 1 hour before bed-time. The blue light that is emitted from TV screens, computer screens, ipad screens, cell phone screens etc. hyper-stimulates your brain tissue. This will not allow you to fall into the deep part of your sleep rhythms. In fact, no wifi in the bedroom is a very healthy idea. Benefits from doing one, some or all of these? You are establishing better brain habits for your kids and helping to prevent postural collapse especially forward head posture or tech neck.

HEALTHY POSTURE WHILE HOME-SCHOOLING Hello everyone. Dr Brad Ivanchuk here. I am a Burlington, Ontario chiropractor at Life Chiropractic Centre on Guelph Line.

Today I have a very valuable bit of information for you especially if you suffer from back pain. A 2004 research study (Apkarian,2004) demonstrated that patients with chronic lower back pain show 10 to 20 times more loss of gray matter (brain tissue) on MRI studies compared to a control group.... In other words, chronic lower back pain results in premature brain aging. Your gray matter contains most of your brain’s neurons (nerve cells) and is responsible for things such as muscle control, seeing, hearing, speech, emotions and memory. This study clearly demonstrated a direct link between spinal function and central nerve system function and revealed another huge benefit of maintaining a healthy and properly aligned posture system. Please keep this in mind if you or anyone in your family is suffering from back pain. No one can afford to lose their gray matter.

Last time we talked about Posture Quadrant #3; your 5 lower lumbar vertebrae and your pelvis. We learned how this is the main stability posture quadrant of your spine stabilizing you internally as well as externally.... Internally, it stabilizes your digestion, elimination and reproduction systems. Externally, problems here will result in lower back pain, sciatica (leg pain), sacroiliac pain and balance issues. Let’s talk about balance...

Today we are going to learn why it is important to assess your structure/spinal alignment/posture when things do not seem to be going right on the inside.

BAD POSTURE AND YOUR DIGESTION Hello everyone. Dr Brad Ivanchuk here. I am a Burlington, Ontario chiropractor at Life Chiropractic Centre on Guelph Line. I am also Certified Posture Expert with the American Posture Institute. Today we are going to learn why it is important to assess your structure/spinal alignment/posture when things do not seem to be going right on the inside.... Let’s take posture quadrant #3 for example your 5 lower lumbar vertebrae and your pelvis. This is your main stability quadrant both externally and internally. Internally, it stabilizes 3 things; your digestion, elimination and reproduction. The most common posture distortion here is pelvic tilt or pelvic un-leveling. This is easy to check. Stand in front of a mirror and rest your hands on your hips and compare one side to the other. A misaligned pelvis means a misaligned digestive tract too. When the digestive tract is misaligned, food cannot pass through comfortably and fluidly. This will lead to cramping, indigestion, constipation ad even hemorrhoids. Females may notice menstrual cramps, difficulties conceiving, and challenges during pregnancy and childbirth. A misaligned pelvis will also cause weakness of the pelvic floor making it difficult for one to control the release of urine. This can affect kids, adults, males and females both. So when things don’t seem to be going right on the inside, the logical place to start is to assess your posture system. Detailed posture scans are included in your free initial consultation here at Life Chiropractic Centre. All you have to do is call us at 905 335 LIFE (5433). Remember that good posture is by design and not by circumstance.

BENEFITS OF CORRECTING HUMP BACK Hello everyone. Dr Brad Ivanchuk here. I am a Burlington, Ontario chiropractor at Life Chiropractic Centre on Guelph Line. I am also a Certified Posture Expert with the American Posture Institute and a certified Personal Training Specialist with canfitpro. Today we are going to talk about thoracic hyper kyphosis or hump back. There are 4 important things that you need to know about this condition.... First of all, it is the most common posture distortion found in the second posture quadrant. Secondly, at least 40% of elderly people present with this posture distortion. Third, patients with hump back are 3 times more likely to end up in a nursing home. And finally, a study in 2004 concluded that the most severe consequence of hump-back is early mortality and higher mortality rates due to atherosclerosis or heart disease. In other words, this condition increases your risk of dying from a heart attack. I am sure you can see the benefits of maintaining good alignment in this part of your spine. But, let’s think about this also . we know that forward head posture or tech neck will eventually cause hump back if left undetected and uncorrected. We also know that kids are interacting with technology at a much earlier age and that at least 34% of school-aged kids already present with some degree of tech neck. This is why I encourage all parents to have their kids posture checked. Nothing holds more true than the old saying ‘as the twig is bent, so grows the tree.’ Consultations at Life Chiropractic Centre are always free of charge and these include a detailed posture scan. We offer this as a community service and the number to call to schedule an appointment for your children is 905 335 LIFE (5433). Remember that good posture is by design and not by circumstance.

SCOLIOSIS SCREENING FOR PARENTS Hello everyone. Dr Brad Ivanchuk here. I am a Burlington, Ontario chiropractor at Life Chiropractic Centre on Guelph Line. I am also a Certified Posture Expert and Postural Neurologist with the American Posture Institute. Today we are going to talk about scoliosis because I have seen a couple of (teenaged) cases lately that did not have to get as bad as they did if there were early intervention.... I am going to give you five signs to look for so you can check your kids right at home. Scoliosis is an abnormal spinal curve (usually an S-shaped curve) and the most common type will affect kids usually between 10 and 18 years of age, females more so than males. So have your child stand in front of you (bare feet, underwear and arms at their side) and observe them from behind. Look to see if 1) shoulders are uneven, 2) one arm looks longer than the other (compare finger tips side to side), 3) hips are uneven, 4) the upper body tends to lean to one side, and 5) rib cage humps when they bend over to touch their toes. Now, if even one of these signs are positive or present, then a more detailed investigation is required. And this is where I can help you. Remember that our consultations are free of charge and these include a detailed posture scan. This is by far the best place to start. The phone number to call is 905 335 LIFE (5433) to schedule your appointment. Good posture is by design and not by circumstance.

Today we are going to talk about our precious children and why every children should have a spinal and posture check-up. According to our research at the API, 34% of kids now have forward head posture or tech neck. Other researchers have found that 65% of school-aged kids present with back pain due to postural distortions, and kids asyoung as 10 years of age are showing visible signs of spinal degenerative arthritis in the lower back both on xray and MRI studies. ... I have seen this in my own patients as well.

KIDS BENEFIT FROM GOOD POSTURE Hello everyone. Dr Brad Ivanchuk here. I am Burlington, Ontario chiropractor at Life Chiropractic Centre on Guelph Line. I am also a Certified Posture Expert with the American Posture Institute. Today we are going to talk about our precious children and why every children should have a spinal and posture check-up. According to our research at the API, 34% of kids now have forward-head posture or tech neck.

I have seen this in my own patients as well. Remember that spinal degenerative arthritis is when the spinal discs between the vertebrae begin to collapse leading to spinal joint irritation and spinal nerve root irritation, both of which can be quite painful. Remember too that one of the main causes of spinal degenerative arthritis is spinal misalignment and posture distortion. So one benefit of chiropractic care for kids is that spinal adjustments help to maintain good posture. And good posture in turn will help to prevent spinal degenerative arthritis. If you have any concerns about your kid’s posture or would just like them to have a check-up, I would love to help you. All you have to do is call 905 335 LIFE (5433) and schedule an appointment for your free initial consultation which also includes a detailed posture scan. Posture scans are easy to do; they take less than 5 minutes, they are non-invasive and very informative. Life Chiropractic Centre is a family chiropractic and postural correction facility.

THE CONNECTION BETWEEN POSTURE AND HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE Hello everyone. Dr Brad here again. I am a Burlington, Ontario chiropractor at Life Chiropractic Centre on Guelph Line. I am also a Certified Posture Expert with the American Posture Institute. Last time we learned how forward head posture and hump back can affect your balance and coordination. Another important thing I want to share with you today is that forward-head posture and hump back can also disturb the part of y...our brain stem which regulates your heart rate and your blood pressure. In fact, researchers at the University of Leeds in the UK concluded that the pathway exists for bad posture to really have an effect on high blood pressure. And many chiropractic patients would tell you the same thing; that after having their spine realigned and their posture corrected, they had a much healthier blood pressure. So, if you are looking for an alternative way to help manage your high blood pressure, I may be able to help you. The first thing you would need to do is call to schedule an appointment for your free consultation, which includes a free detailed posture scan and we will take it from there.

This case history regards a female patient who has been receiving chiropractic care with me for over 4 years. In the fall of 2019 she became pregnant and continued her chiropractic adjustments throughout her entire pregnancy; 2 to 3 times per month. And she had a very good pregnancy. There was no real morning sickness to speak of, no complications and no realspinal aches and pains until the last 3 or 4 weeks before delivery. And they were quite manageable.... This set the stage for an ideal delivery. Four hours after her first contraction, she gave birth to a beautiful little baby girl. And both mother and daughter are doing just fine.

CHIROPRACTIC AND PREGNANCY; A CASE HISTORY Hello all. Dr Brad Ivanchuk here. I am Burlington, Ontario chiropractor at Life Chiropractic Centre on Guelph Line. Today I am going to share a case history with you. Case histories are an excellent way for you to learn about the benefits of chiropractic care....

Forward head posture and hump back can disturb the part of your brainstem which regulates your heart rate and your blood pressure.

And many chiropractic patients would tell you the same thing; that after having their spine realigned and their posture corrected, they had a much healthier blood pressure.

POOR POSTURE LEADS TO POOR BALANCE Hello all. Dr Brad here again and today we are going to talk about balance and coordination. If you feel that you are clumsy and you stumble and trip frequently, even falling on occasion, this can often times result from spinal misalignments and posture distortions in the neck and upper back (PQ 1 and 2), and even in your lower back (PQ 3).... Posture distortions here can result in decreased postural control, increased postural sway, less stability against gravity, sensory-motor disturbances (your brain and body are coordinating properly), balance issues and thus an increased risk of falling. This can happen in any age group, but is of a greater concern with people in their 70s, 80s and 90s. Common fractures from falling are the wrist, hip, lower leg and ankle and these can often be a complicated fracture which take longer to heal. It is never too late to take measures to improve your posture. Obviously the sooner the better but if you do have any concerns about your posture, I can most likely help you. This is what I do. All you need to do is call and schedule an appointment for your free initial consultation which also includes a free detailed posture scan. These give us a lot on information.
