At Trillium Family Chiropractic (TFC), we are dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for our senior patients through a variety of specialized services. We understand the unique challenges that come with aging, and offer tailored care to address these needs. Here’s how our services can benefit seniors:
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care is a hands-on, non-invasive, drug-free approach that focuses on how the spine, joints, muscles, and nervous system work together.
We take a thoughtful, personalized approach to care by assessing movement patterns, posture, mobility, and areas of tension or restriction. This will assist us to better understand what your body needs. We offer a range of chiropractic techniques, including instrument-assisted care, drop technique, cranial adjustments and manual adjustments, to help support comfort, improve movement, address pain, and reduce the chance of concerns returning.
Custom-Made Orthotics
Custom-made orthotics are a medical device designed to bring your feet and ankles back into proper alignment. This aims to reduce stress and strain on your body. Custom-made orthotics can be made for a variety of shoe types, including runners, work shoes, work boots, dress shoes, and sandals. Dr. Elizabeth will perform a thorough history and examination and discuss your work or recreational activities. This will help determine what orthotic would be best suited for your needs.
Registered Massage Therapy
A massage therapist uses their hands, forearms, and elbows to manipulate the soft tissues of the body through a variety of massage techniques to:
- Reduce or eliminate pain
- Improve joint mobility
- Improve circulation and lymphatic drainage
- Reduce depression and anxiety
- Reduce muscular tension
Our massage techniques include trigger point therapy, deep tissue massage, relaxation massage, lymphatic drainage and intraoral massage
Osteopathy
Osteopathy for all ages! This is a gentle, hands-on approach to health and well-being. Treatments focus on supporting general wellness or target specific concerns/complaints. Osteopathic treatments can help with general aches and pains, as well as chronic conditions. Whole-person health; we treat YOU, not just your condition.
- Overall health and mobility
- Gentle treatment that avoid further pain
- Relaxing treatment to support healing
- Promotes circulation and ease of movement
Reiki
Reiki is a gentle energy healing practice that helps your body and mind relax, release, and rebalance. It supports your nervous system — particularly the parasympathetic response, which is your body’s “rest and digest” mode — so that real healing can take place.
Reiki works on physical, mental, emotional, and energetic levels, helping to clear out what feels heavy, stuck, or overwhelming.
- Pain and physical tension
- Anxiety, stress or grief
- Emotional fatigue and burnout
- Navigating change or transition
- Deepening self-awareness and calm
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy helps with injury prevention, physical rehabilitation, and health and fitness. The goal of treatment is to restore, maintain, and make the most of a patient’s mobility, function, and well-being. Physiotherapists work with clients of all ages.
