It’s hard to believe we are saying goodbye to yet another September! The leaves start to hint at that first change in colour, swim season makes way for sweater weather, and the kids returned to school after this year’s (long) summer break. As parents, we start organizing lunch boxes, water bottles, shoes, coats, and this year, masks, to pack into our children’s backpacks to be prepared. Let’s talk backpack safety! I noticed on my son’s return, how heavy his backpack felt and decided to re-evaluate backpack size and bag components to make sure it wasn’t causing undue stress on his…

Here at the Oakville Chiropractic Centre, we treat patients for so many different reasons. With the new shift in todays workplace, people are working from home but forgetting to place importance on the way and position we are setup in front of our computers. When Covid-19 became a household name, no one could imagine the shift that was about to take place. Suddenly, our norm became homeschooling hosted in the living room, telecommuting from the kitchen and a fresh cup of coffee from that new bistro “Nescafé”. Many of our patients started noticing neck or backaches from long hours in…

Hello friends and family! Dr. Brian Huggins here of the Oakville Chiropractic Centre. As I sit here at the computer and reflect how quickly August is flying by, I realize how fast the entire summer has flown by which is totally contrary to March, April and May.

In mid, March when everything shut down, I was of the mindset that this was quite temporary and we would be back to our normal routines fairly quickly…clearly I was wrong. In…

The majority of people assume that Chiropractors are only “back doctors” or “neck doctors”, while this is not the case. Chiropractors treat several different types of pain in the body and help ensure your body is functioning at its highest potential. How does chiropractic care do this you might ask?

Happy Pride from the Oakville Chiropractic Centre! This week (June 28 th) marked 51 years since the historic Stonewall Uprising where members of the LGBT community fought for gay rights and freedoms. While many establishments were quick to turn away patrons based on colour, creed, and sexual orientation, the Stonewall Inn was one that offered service to even the most marginalized members of society.

Although the rebellion brought about riots and controversy, it also began paving away for change and better representation within their…

What a time we are living in. Here in the Halton Region we are entering Phase II of re-opening during the Coronavirus. In addition to all of the COVID-19 madness, we have seen society screaming out with social injustice and racial bigotry.

The videos that have leaked show abhorrent behaviour and devoid of humane treatment. It saddens and hurts to see the treatment and understand…
