Prescription Orthotics
 Orthotics are customized insoles worn in any type of shoe and they correct the way a patient walks. If a patient is walking incorrectly, their entire body can be out of alignment causing all types of problems including foot, ankle, leg, hip and lower back pain.
The Metascan diagnostic system is simple, innovative, high tech, user-friendly and grounded in well-researched principles. It provides an efficient, highly accurate and scientific means of patient assessment. The system offers a consistent and repeatable assessment that produces a thinner, lighter, patient specific prescription orthotic that can be worn in everyday shoes. A 15 minute gait and pressure analysis test will tell you if you are a candidate for prescription orthotics. Orthotics are covered by most insurance plans.
The Metascan system can also be used for rehabilitation purposes, such as balance and proprioception. Instability in our lower extremities can be noted, corrected and prevented with a simple scan. In addition, common lower extremity injuries will benefit from proper sensory rehabilitation to ensure that stability and motor execution are optimal for return to whatever activities of daily living the individual requires.
I encourage all new patients to come in and try the system, just call and book.
Carpal Tunnel Treatment
At Surrey Chiropractic, we utilize the most conservative methods of clinical therapy to allow for maximal treatment care. One of our most popular therapies at the clinic is the intermittent pneumatic decompression wrist traction device. The traction machine is used to treat carpal tunnel syndrome as well as tendonitis such as golfers elbow and tennis elbow. In addition to the traction, other musculature and postural corrections are used to reduce symptoms and prevent future recurrences.

| joint instability and nervous system disfunction | Most patients start with initial intensive care. The first thing most Chiropractic patients want is to feel better. So, in the beginning, visits are usually frequent but are tailored to your specific injury. Your chiropractic adjustments may be combined with modalities, such as Myofascial Release, to help relieve your symptoms. Depending upon your age, condition, and lifestyle, therapy over weeks or months may be needed to reduce your symptoms.
With your ache or pain reduced, the goal of Rehabilitative Care is for more complete healing to occur. Underlying muscle and soft tissue damage can remain, even after you feel better. At this stage, visit frequency is often reduced.
You may be urged to supplement your care with exercises, dietary changes, or other self-care procedures. Without complete healing, discontinuing care now can set the stage for a relapse.
After the recovery of your original problem, regular chiropractic "checkups" can help preserve your health and wellness. Periodic visits can help catch little problems before they become major concerns. Wellness-minded adults and their children choose this type of care to look and feel their best. Like other preventive measures, a chiropractic lifestyle can save time and money by helping you stay well.

Important for Childhood Development
-
Kids can benefits from chiropractic too! Even children with no pain or symptoms can receive benefits from regular chiropractic visits.
There are currently a number of changes going on in the health care field today. One of the main shifts is away from crisis care and toward prevention and wellness care. Wellness care is taking care of people while they have no symptoms so that they don't get sick.
The best people to get started with wellness care are kids. Children go through so many changes as they grow. All of the major systems go through countless developmental stages. The nervous system is the first to develop and controls all the other systems, thus vital to growth, development and optimal function.
One of the most traumatic things to the spine is the birth process. Especially in a difficult delivery, the trauma to the spine can be dramatic.
As children begin to walk, they take hundreds of falls. In the early years they are always falling off bikes, out of trees, etc. All of these small traumas add up and eventually start to affect the spine.
How many of you have taken young children to have their teeth or their eyes checked? Most of you probably have. Now how many of you have taken your child to a chiropractor to have his or her spine checked? If you never have, I wonder why not? People will think nothing of having braces put on their kid's teeth and spending thousands of dollars just so they have straight teeth. But they will never have their spine checked to see if it is straight.
The research regarding the effect of chiropractic care on kids is amazing. A 1989 study which compared 200 children who had seen pediatricians with 200 children who had been under chiropractic care showed that the health of the children who had seen chiropractors was notably superior to that of children brought up under standard medical care. The chiropractic children, for example, had fewer ear infections, allergies, and cases of tonsillitis, and therefore required less medicine.
In an earlier article I addressed the question about children with scoliosis. The point was made that the earlier we start on a scoliosis case the better the results will be. This is true of most conditions: the sooner you start to treat, the better the results will be. That is why prevention or wellness care makes so much sense.
It has been proven that adjusting the spine to relieve nerve pressure has a direct effect on the immune system. It also makes sense that a better functioning nervous system makes for a better functioning body as a whole.
In conclusion, chiropractic has been shown through research to be an excellent choice for wellness care. Your children deserve to have their full potential utilized as they grow. Chiropractic care is a very important part of your children's health care. Please make an appointment to have your child's spine checked by a chiropractor.
