I was recently involved very minor traffic incident Q: and although there wasin avisible sign of injury, I have no For more information please contact merry maids of Oakville at 905-847-2210. Many foot ailments, like other body ills, have their origins in childhood and are present at birth. Your child's developing feet are very important to monitor as they have to carry the weight of the body for an entire lifetime. Normal foot development involves a heel-toe gait pattern by age 3 and normal arch development by age 7. Problem signs to keep an eye out for include: · Complaints of joint pain while standing, walking or running, · Knock knees or bow legs, · Uneven wear on the bottom of shoes, · Prior injury to the back, knees or ankles, · Obvious foot problems, such as bunions, corns or flat feet. Remember that lack of complaint is not a good sign. The bones of growing feet are so flexible that they can be twisted and distorted without the child being aware of it. If you have concerns about your child's feet, contact your chiropodist for a thorough foot evaluation and special shoe fitting advice for children.

Whiplash movement (either front to back or side to side) which results in an injury to the vertebrae of the neck and the muscles and ligaments that support them. It does not take a `high speed crash' to cause the condition. It is the quick, often unexpected movement, which pushes the head beyond its normal range of motion that causes the injury. It can take several hours to several days before symptoms appear which may include neck pain, headaches, nausea, dizziness, and ringing in the ears. It is good to know that most people recover completely within three to six months although some may take up to a year to be symptom free. A small portion of people will suffer severe, long term chronic pain. Research has shown that chiropractic treatment can help speed recovery from whiplash. Chiropractic can help relieve pain and restore correct movement to head, neck and back. Each injury is specific in nature so in order to provide appropriate treatment your chiropractor will do a thorough analysis of the incident itself as well as the `condition' that you describe. He will need to understand fully the movement of the head, and the possible impact on the vertebrae and soft tissue at the time of the accident. Don't waste valuable time. See your chiropractor as soon as possible. Your health is important to him. Call the office today for your free consultation!! Yours truly, Dr. Eric Dawtrey D.C.
