Extravertebral Adjusting

The spine and extremities are functionally linked, so it’s vital that a chiropractor assesses and adjusts the extremities to minimize the consequences of dysfunctional joints throughout the body. Many physically active people rely on chiropractors for whole-body care to address the needs of the serious athlete to the weekend warrior.

Extremity adjustments are chiropractic adjustments in joints that are not contained in the spine. Whether caused by arthritis, torn or strained muscles, ligaments, or tendons a dysfunctional joint can be painful and can lead to tissue damage, Extremity adjustments are helpful in treating TMJ, carpal or tarsal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, bursitis and plantar fascitis just to name a few. Joint areas such as hips, knees, ankles, feet, shoulders, elbows and wrists can benefit from specific extremity adjustments.

Dr. Leader has the training necessary to diagnose and treat these injuries, incorporating both neurological and mechanical treatments.

Dr. Leader Asks some important questions of interest to Winnipeg residents - Chiropractor Winnipeg Dr. Leader Asks...

How do you know when you're healthy?
Ask most Winnipeg residents this simple question and you're likely to hear, "When you feel good" or "When you're at your proper weight for your height" or "When you have lots of energy and vitality." Great answers. But our chiropractic patients know that true health is when your body is working as it was designed. True health is how you function, not how you feel.
What's the difference between a "good" drug and a "bad" drug?
As a chiropractor, I see the use of many drugs (legal or illegal) as merely symptom treating. Worse, virtually every drug produces unwanted effects. The effects of chiropractic are largely positive effects. If you're a Winnipeg parent, consider carefully before giving your child a cough medication, cold remedy or pain reliever so this sort of question doesn't arise in the first place.
