Chiropractic Care for Military, Veterans Affairs, and RCMP
Targeted Chiropractic Treatment for Military Personnel, Veterans Affairs, and RCMP
Protective service work places unique physical demands on the body that can lead to specific musculoskeletal challenges. From carrying heavy equipment and wearing tactical gear to repetitive training exercises and combat-related injuries, service members and veterans often experience chronic pain in the neck, back, shoulders, and joints.
Our specialized chiropractic care for military, Veterans Affairs, and RCMP understands these distinct physical stressors and provides targeted treatment for conditions commonly seen in military personnel, including chronic lower back pain, cervical spine issues, headaches, and extremity injuries.
We recognize that service-related injuries may develop gradually over years or result from specific incidents, and our approach addresses both acute and chronic conditions with evidence-based chiropractic techniques.
Military Service & Chiropractic Care
Lower Back (Lumbar Spine)
Carrying heavy packs, tactical gear, and equipment places significant stress on the lower back, often leading to chronic pain and disc issues. Prolonged sitting in vehicles or aircraft, combined with repetitive lifting and awkward positioning, can cause persistent lumbar spine problems.
Neck and Cervical Spine
Wearing heavy helmets, night vision equipment, and body armor creates forward head posture and cervical strain. This equipment weight, combined with prolonged periods in tactical positions, frequently results in neck pain, headaches, and reduced range of motion.
Shoulders
Repetitive overhead activities, weapon handling, and carrying heavy loads on the shoulders can lead to rotator cuff injuries and shoulder impingement. The weight of tactical gear and body armor also places continuous stress on shoulder joints and surrounding muscles.
Knees
High-impact activities like running, jumping, and marching with heavy loads puts tremendous stress on knee joints. Prolonged kneeling positions during training or combat operations can cause patellofemoral pain syndrome and other knee-related issues.
Hips & Pelvis
Extended periods of sitting in vehicles, combined with heavy gear that alters normal gait patterns, can create hip flexor tightness and pelvic dysfunction. These issues often contribute to lower back pain and reduced mobility in the hip joints.
Feet and Ankles
Long marches, extended standing, and wearing heavy boots can lead to plantar fasciitis, ankle sprains, and stress fractures. Poor-fitting military footwear and repetitive impact activities place significant strain on the foot and ankle complex.
