Inspiring Longevity

At Longevity Chiropractic Guelph, we use an instrument called the Activator. Activator is a very effective yet gentle approach to chiropractic. Chiropractors all over the world use the Activator Method as a way to help people alleviate back pain, neck pain and headaches. Activator is also used for adjusting extremities and can help with conditions such as plantar fasciitis, knee pain, tennis and golfer’s elbow, and shoulder complaints. Most people find that this chiropractic approach is very relaxing and comfortable. In addition, Activator only requires light force to adjust the spine and extremities effectively.

This is a common concern for new patients when they come to see us at Longevity Chiropractic for the first time. It is crucial to understand that only you can determine how long you choose to receive the benefits of seeing your chiropractor. Unlike traditional approaches to pain, like pain masking medications, chiropractic is designed to help get to the source of your pain and discomfort. As such, it can often take longer than one or two adjustments to help fix the problem at its source. At Longevity Chiropractic, every new patient will receive an individualized structural assessment. This allows Dr. Jeffery to create an at-home exercise program, assisting you on your path to recovery.

It is a common misconception that Chiropractors crack bones. The gas release heard when a chiropractic precisely adjusts a spinal segment is no more meaningful than any other gas released in the body. With some adjustments, there is no sound of gas release. Chiropractors never crack bones. Instead, it can be helpful to think of the adjustment as restoring normal motion to areas in your spine that have become tight and sore from stress, posture, injury or repetitive movement.

It is essential to understand what the research shows us when discussing the safety of chiropractic care. Looking at multiple different studies on the safety and efficacy of chiropractic care for many types of concerns, we can see that chiropractic care is remarkably safe. Chiropractic care is also associated with high satisfaction levels, as reported by chiropractic patients. Chiropractic care is natural, so you are not putting pills or medicine into your body. It is also important to mention that chiropractic care is as effective, if not more effective, than traditional medical approaches to help various spinal issues.

Absolutely! Finding a good team to support you through an injury or the restoration of good health can be an essential part of the journey.
