Dr. Robert Horvat, Chiropractor, St Peterborough, ON

A teammate recommended that I see a chiropractor. Shortly after realigning my pelvis and a few vertebrae, the pain resolved and I had no further problems. I thought it was amazing considering I had no previous awareness or experience with chiropractic. That led me to learn more about natural healing.Personal experience with rehabilitation of my sports injuries directed me towards chiropractic. Now I work in the same clinic where I was once a patient. Read more» When I began my practice, my focus was purely biomechanical with the intent of realigning the spine and extremity joints to reduce pain and increase mobility using manual manipulation. I continue with a biomechanical approach but also provide soft tissue release and other myofascial therapies because the bones and joints of the spine will not stay aligned and mobile without reduced muscle tension, symmetrical muscle strength and tone. Addressing all of these tissues will assist in maintaining the integrity of the nervous system therefore optimizing your overall function. Lifestyle education, exercise therapy and promoting proper ergonomics is used to improve health and lower your risk for developing lifestyle diseases while minimizing future injuries. Maintaining a healthy body and mind is essential in getting the most out of every day. I help to develop headache and migraine management strategies while guiding patients in their drive for improved nutrition and weight management. I regularly direct post injury rehabilitation and have a special interest with sports injury management and exercise rehabilitation assisted by a background in personal training. Aside from pain control I can assist you in increasing your energy, stamina, workplace efficiency and sports related performance enhancement. My Goal My goal is to achieve rapid resolution of injury related pain and loss of function using a natural rehabilitation approach. I will thoroughly assess your condition following an in depth history. I will clearly describe your condition and outline the most effective modes of intervention. Based upon this I will develop an appropriate plan of care to address the source of your symptoms. Nothing worth achieving is easy, but if you are willing to make the effort to achieve optimal health I will guide you in achieving those goals. I have a natural approach to healthcare and health promotion without the use of drugs. Does this sound like something you would be interested in? Medication has its place in healthcare, but if we are more responsible for our own health we will be less likely to rely on medication as a temporary fix in the future. Less medication means healthier kidneys, liver and gastrointestinal tract with fewer drug interactions and side-effects throughout the body, therefore that makes for a healthier and happier you! Away from Peterborough Chiropractic Group I enjoy woodworking, construction and gardening. Future interests include canoeing, kayaking and spending more time outdoors with the hope of more international traveling. I would like the opportunity to take part in charity and disaster relief in roles both associated with and outside of my profession. The best way to assist others is by getting involved. On that note, over the last year I began volunteering with the Big Brothers program, the Peterborough YWCA and most recently the Red Cross. My athletic background was in contact sports, primarily football and rugby. I have recently returned to the role of sports therapy in minor hockey and began coaching youth rugby. I receive chiropractic care every 2-4 weeks and sometimes more frequently when my energy levels are low or if I feel tighter than usual. I attend the gym a minimum of 5-7 times weekly combining resistance training, cardiovascular and core balance training. I prefer to get the majority of my nutrition from food therefore it is rare not to see me eating. I believe in lifelong learning therefore I am often taking seminars and courses to increase my knowledge. The most appropriate treatment approaches, exercises and nutritional recommendations are constantly changing therefore I do my best to keep up! I consider myself to be progressive and attempt to rehabilitate injuries in the most efficient and effective way possible; that means staying current. Thanks for visiting our site.

It's great that you're considering chiropractic care for various conditions. Chiropractors can indeed provide treatments to address neuromusculoskeletal issues, including those related to scoliosis, hip and pelvis pain, and shoulder arthritis. However, it's important to consult with a qualified healthcare professional, such as a local chiropractor, to determine the most appropriate treatment approach for your specific situation.

For scoliosis, chiropractic care may involve spinal adjustments and exercises aimed at improving posture and reducing spinal curvature. A chiropractor can assess the severity of scoliosis and provide appropriate treatment recommendations.

In the case of hip and pelvis pain, chiropractors can assess the underlying cause of the pain and provide treatments such as spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, exercises, and other modalities to alleviate symptoms and promote healing.

Regarding shoulder arthritis, chiropractors may offer non-surgical treatment options to help manage the condition. These options can include rest, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs), chiropractic adjustments to improve range of motion, corticosteroid injections, and heat/cold therapy. However, the specific treatment plan would depend on the individual's condition and should be discussed with a chiropractor.

Remember, while chiropractic care can be beneficial for many individuals, it's important to have a thorough evaluation by a qualified healthcare professional to ensure that the treatments are appropriate for your specific needs. Consulting with a local chiropractor would allow you to discuss your condition in detail and determine the best course of action.
