Motor Vehicle Accident Treatment

Endurance on 8th Health Centre provides treatment for Motor Vehicle Accident injuries such as sprains, strains and whiplash injuries.

Under Alberta's auto insurance system you are entitled to accident benefits coverage regardless of whether you were at fault for the accident. If you are injured in a motor vehicle collision you may access treatment at a clinic like Endurance on 8th in order to get you better.

Within 10 days of the accident you should see a primary health care practitioner such as a chiropractor, or physical therapist. If your injury is a sprain, strain or minor whiplash injury, your chiropractor or physical therapist does not need authorization from your insurer for treatment and Endurance on 8th Health Centre will bill the insurer directly. These protocols have been developed in consultation with primary health care practitioners and are based on the best research and evidence currently available.

Custom Orthotics

Lack of proper care, ill-fitting shoes and general foot neglect are responsible for the majority of foot problems.  It is important to understand the impact on your body with each step. A small problem in foot function can have a large impact on joints higher up in the body, causing pain and discomfort.

Orthotics and proper shoe fit are very important aspects of foot health.

Remember, if you are experiencing any discomfort inyour ankles, knees or hip joints, the direct cause may be the function of your feet or ill-fitting shoes.

Our Doctors of Chiropractic prescribe custom orthotics to their patients for various symptoms. Many medical conditions often stem from a biomechanical gait abnormality that can be treated with custom orthotics.  Some common ailments related to poor foot biomechanics include:

• Plantar Fasciitis
• Morton's Neuroma
• Metatarsalgia 
• Achilles Tendonitis 
• Iliotibial Band Syndrome
• Runners Knee
• Sacroiliac Syndrome

Traditional Chinese Medicine

More than ever, people across North America are returning to more natural methods of improving their health. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) focuses on:

• Health promotion
• Illness prevention and treatment
• Natural remedies such as Acupuncture, and Chinese herbal medicine

The practice of TCM brings together traditional and modern views of health, and eastern and western approaches to health care. TCM has served over a quarter of the world's population for thousands of years and repeated clinical tests have proven its effectiveness in fighting many diseases.

What is Acupuncture? 

The term acupuncture describes a family of procedures involving stimulation of anatomical points on the body by a variety of techniques. The acupuncture technique that has been most studied scientifically involves penetrating the skin with thin, solid, metallic needles that are manipulated by the hands or by electrical stimulation.

What does Acupuncture feel like?

Acupuncture needles are sterile, single use, metallic, solid, and hair-thin. People experience acupuncture differently, but most feel no, or minimal, discomfort as the needles are inserted. Some people are energized by treatment, while others feel relaxed.
