Services & Techniques

At Back4life Spinal Health Center, we take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic care to each and every patient. We have included information below about the different spinal care services offered in our North Bay chiropractic office, but please call us at (705) 478-7778 if you have any questions!

Chiropractic Care

We provide advanced Cox Spinal Flexion Decompression Therapy, Instrument and Manual chiropractic adjustments, and active-release soft tissue therapy.  Utilizing "state of the art" techniques we can provide our patients with some of the most effective treatments available today.  Many of the newest chiropractic techniques are safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever.  As a chiropractor who cares about utilizing the most advanced chiropractic techniques, Dr. Mark Swain has over 25 years of training, expertise and experience in helping patients get pain relief for back pain, neck pain, headaches, disc herniation, sciatica, and other related conditions originating from the spine. Supportive chiropractic care can also be used to prevent injuries and reoccurrences, while helping you achieve better over all health.


Lifestyle Advice

Many of our patients come to see our chiropractor to address a specific symptom such as back pain, neck pain or headaches.  While Dr. Swain will address each patient's specific condition with chiropractic care, we often find it helpful to "coach" our patients towards a healthier lifestyle.  For example, there may be certain activities that you should avoid or do differently to prevent yourself from unintentionally aggravating your particular health challenges. The goal of including lifestyle advice with a chiropractic care plan is to help each and every patient achieve a longer health span as well as life span.  By attending our Turn Your Health Inside Out workshop and taking advantage of the vast health resources on this website and in our office, we can help you and your family live a long healthy life!


Nutrition and Supplementation

What does nutrition have to do with chiropractic care?  Chiropractic care aims to help patients achieve better health and balance with their body. As part of that goal, we provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices. Nutritional advice from our experienced chiropractic health team can assist patients in their return to better health. Do you know which supplements and vitamins are good for you?  Do you know how these supplements and vitamins interact with one another?  At our North Bay chiropractic clinic, we can provide each patient with information and advice that is based on their individual needs.


Specialized Spinal Health Care

Statistics prove that the average lifespan of individuals is increasing. This means that individuals are living longer.  Although we all want to live a long life, our bodies still want to age. To get the most out of every year it is important that we are healthy and functioning properly. Today, people are neglecting their bodies and health like never before, which leads to many people finding that in their later years in life, they are sick, weak and dependent on others for help. This can be prevented if we take the time to care for our bodies properly now.

One of the most neglected systems of the body is the structural system. This includes our bones, tendons, muscles, ligaments and spinal column. The most common causes of functional disability in individuals over 50 are related to a spinal disorder. This means that if something will keep you from living an active, healthy lifestyle once you reach and pass the age of 50, it will likely be a spinal problem.

Why Preventive Care Is Important

Most people pay little attention to their spinal health until there is a problem. In many cases when a back issue gets bad enough to do something about it, there is likely some permanent damage to the spinal structures.  Preventive care can help lengthen the spine's health so that these types of problems do not arise in the first place. Consider your dental care. You do not wait until you are already experiencing tooth decay to go to the dentist. Rather, you go to prevent it.  Preventive care is the trick to keeping teeth healthy for a long time. The same is true of your spine. Preventive care is the trick to maintain a healthy, full-functioning spine.

What Is Preventive Care?

You can stay on top of small misalignments in the spine through chiropractic care. When these small misalignments are corrected regularly, bigger problems can be avoided. Chiropractors call these spinal fixations. Spinal fixations can cause pinching on the nerves and spinal joints. This pinching or irritation is one of the most common causes of back and neck pain.  When there is less pain, individuals can maintain their healthy, active lifestyle longer. This adds to your quality of life and happiness. With regular preventive chiropractic care, the spine can maintain its health and functionality for longer. Some types of preventive care are spinal health classes, education and home care.
