Common Conditions Addressed at
Lakeview Chiropractic & Acupuncture Wellness Centre
At Lakeview Chiropractic & Acupuncture Wellness Centre, Dr. David Drazic utilizes advanced ProAdjuster/Ultraline Technology to help patients overcome a variety of painful conditions. Our non-manual approach offers precise care without the twisting or cracking associated with traditional methods.
Back Pain
Back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide, affecting an estimated 31 million Americans. While medications may temporarily mask symptoms, our approach aims to address the underlying mechanical issues that cause your discomfort.
When you visit our office for back pain, Dr. Drazic will:
- Identify the root cause of your pain through comprehensive examination
- Determine if posture, weight, stress, or injury is contributing to your condition
- Create a personalized care plan to improve functionality and restore range of motion
- Provide education on lifestyle modifications to support long-term relief
Common causes of back pain often include bulging and herniated discs, muscle spasms, vertebral misalignments, strain or injury to supporting muscles and ligaments, and small fractures from osteoporosis.
Many patients find that regular chiropractic care helps them avoid reliance on pain medications while addressing the source of their discomfort rather than just masking symptoms.
Neck Pain
Your cervical spine (neck) is a delicate structure of vertebrae, nerves, and muscles that supports your head while allowing flexibility and movement. Despite its strength, the neck is vulnerable to injury from poor posture, whiplash, stress, falls, and sports-related trauma.
Studies published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics have shown significant improvement in pain levels among patients receiving chiropractic care for chronic neck pain. Many also experience relief from related symptoms like headaches and migraines.
Signs you may be experiencing neck issues include:
- General pain and stiffness in the neck area
- Pain extending between shoulder blades, down arms, or up into the head
- Tense, sore muscles
- Tingling sensations in arms and fingers
At our practice, we examine the full range of motion in your neck, test for trapped nerves, evaluate muscle condition, and assess spinal movement to develop a targeted approach to your care.
Knee Pain
Knee pain affects many Canadians, particularly those who are active in sports or experience repetitive use injuries. While arthritis, inflammation, and connective tissue damage are common causes, many cases stem from improper arch support.
Our comprehensive approach to knee pain includes:
- Examination for swelling and underlying causes
- Possible x-rays or imaging to aid in diagnosis
- Gentle adjustments to restore mobility
- Recommendations for supportive measures like proper footwear and bracing
With proper care and support, many patients experience significant improvement in knee function and reduced pain.
Headaches
Nearly everyone experiences occasional headaches, but chronic headaches and migraines can severely impact quality of life. Rather than relying on medication, many sufferers find relief through chiropractic care.
Tension headaches, the most common type, often originate in the neck and can recur almost daily when left unaddressed. A Duke University study found chiropractic care highly beneficial for these and other cervical-related headaches.
During your visit, we’ll:
- Analyze the severity and frequency of your headaches
- Work to identify potential triggers
- Perform adjustments to correct misalignments that may contribute to your pain
- Provide guidance on lifestyle factors that influence headache patterns
Many patients notice significant improvement after just a few sessions.
Joint Problems
With approximately 360 joints in the human body, pain in even one joint can cause immense discomfort and limited mobility. According to the CDC, at least 30% of adults have experienced joint pain or stiffness in the past month.
Our approach to joint problems includes:
- Locating the source of your pain
- Gentle adjustments to encourage proper joint alignment and function
- Guidance on inflammatory foods that may worsen symptoms
- Recommendations for supporting healthy joint function
Arthritis Care
Whether you’re experiencing osteoarthritis (an autoimmune disorder) or rheumatoid arthritis (wear of joint cartilage), chiropractic care focuses on relieving pressure along the joints to help increase range of motion and reduce pain.
Our holistic approach encompasses:
- Gentle, precise adjustments using ProAdjuster technology
- Lifestyle recommendations to support overall joint health
- Exercise guidance for maintaining mobility
- Weight management strategies when appropriate
Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain can be both limiting and frustrating, especially when it interferes with everyday activities like reaching, lifting, or sleeping comfortably. This discomfort can result from injuries, poor posture, repetitive movements, or conditions such as frozen shoulder and rotator cuff issues.
At Lakeview Chiropractic & Acupuncture Wellness Centre, we take a detailed approach to identifying and addressing the root cause of your shoulder discomfort.
When you come in for shoulder pain, Dr. Drazic will:
- Assess the shoulder joint and surrounding structures for inflammation, misalignment, or soft tissue strain
- Use ProAdjuster/Ultraline Technology to deliver precise, non-invasive care
- Recommend targeted stretches or strengthening exercises to support recovery
- Offer guidance on posture and ergonomics to prevent recurrence
Many patients find that with consistent care, their shoulder mobility improves significantly, and daily pain becomes a thing of the past.
Neuropathy
Neuropathy, often described as tingling, burning, or numbness in the hands or feet, can be a sign of nerve dysfunction that greatly affects your quality of life. It can be caused by diabetes, injury, poor circulation, or spinal nerve compression.
At our clinic, we take an integrative approach to neuropathy care, focusing on improving nerve communication and reducing interference.
Your care may include:
- A comprehensive assessment to understand the root cause of your nerve discomfort
- Gentle, computerized adjustments to relieve pressure on affected nerves
- Lifestyle recommendations to support circulation and nerve health
- Coordination with other healthcare providers if additional testing or care is required
Our goal is to help restore sensation, improve mobility, and reduce discomfort—so you can get back to doing what you love.
