Back Pain Archives - Sante Chiropractic: Orleans Dr., Ottawa Pain Clinic

Believe it or not, too much homework can be bad for your health. But don’t worry kids, there are things you can do to ensure that homework is painless! And no, we don’t mean avoiding assignments. Though school is in session for most, it’s never too late to talk about backpack safety. This week’s blog discusses the trouble with heavy backpacks and provides tips to keep in mind when shopping for a backpack. Backpacks, Back Problems According a recent U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission study, more than 75% of students ages 8-12 suffer from increasing back pain inflicted by carrying their schoolwork and supplies in backpacks or similar totes. This is no surprise considering, some of our younger elementary school students are literally carrying one third their body weight for prolonged periods of time and distance. That puts a lot of stress on a body in the midst of development. Student back injuries are now widespread. 96% of the pupils monitored regularly haul much too heavy a pack on their back. Backpack Safety Tips 1. Children should not carry backpacks that exceed more than 10% of their body weight — which translates into a 5 to 10-pound load for elementary Read more…

I love Dr.Nathalie! She has solved so many issues and I always leave with a SPRING in my step! I highly recommend her, I've seen two other Chiropractors in my life time and I would wake up the next day sore and in pain. I've never had pain the next day after seeing Dr.Nathalie. I use to travel from Buckingham to Orleans to see her! Well worth the drive/ferry ride

When I first went to see Dr. Nathalie in November 2015, I didn't believe in Chiropractors and was actually afraid of them due to a past incident with another doctor. Dr. Nathalie made me feel relaxed and after my first visit, I felt relief from my neck pain. I began seeing her regularly for the next 4 months, and I can confidently say that my Fibromyalgia symptoms have decreased. My neck pain is practically gone and my back pain is in infrequent and manageable. Dr. Nathalie is very knowledgeable and truly "listens" to her patients. She is approachable and she truly cares about her patients. The staff is awesome and going to my appointments is always a positive experience. Thank you Dr. Nathalie for making me feel SO much better!!!

I have Fibromyalgia and CREST Scleroderma. In the spring of 2016 I had gone to see my Rheumatologist and was informed at that time that the pain I was experiencing had no cure... there was absolutely nothing more they could do to help me. I went into a deep depression over it. I am in constant pain even though I am on Tylenol and Ibuprofen 4 times a day. I am allergic to almost all narcotic pain killers. I also take muscle relaxers for the fibromyalgia as well. One day last July my mother came home with a coupon from Dr. Nathalie's Clinic. My mother had been seeing her for Sciatica. Since my mother had done so well I decided that there was no way she could possibly make me feel worse and in all probability might actually help me. Anyway long story short, I am still going twice a month and would go even more if I had the money. I feel Great every time I go and see her! After each visit I feel invigorated and energized! Not only that but Dr. Nathalie worked with me to find a payment plan I could afford to pay. I'm on disability and I don't have very much extra money lying around but she cares so much about my well-being that she went above and beyond IMO to see that I got the help I needed. So if there is anyone else out there with health problems AND money problems and you aren't seeking help because of it, then I encourage you to take a leap of faith and go and see her!

Dr. Nathalie has given me back weeks of my life that were previously spent dealing with severe migraines. After 3 months of weekly visits, my migraines went from 8-10/month to 1-2/month. She is so kind, attentive and truly wants to help you. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I have seen Dr. Beauchamp the Chiropractor as well as Dr. Robin the physiotherapist. Both are very personable and understanding. They have taken care of my medical conditions with great care and I am most satisfied with the results. The office staff are very capable and friendly and if you come in hobbling they are quite helpful and comforting. I won't go anywhere else.

Dr. Nathalie Beauchamp was referred to me by my previous chiropractor after my move to Ottawa. I also asked around in my new workplace and two colleagues did not hesitate to name Dr. Beauchamp. She is professional, friendly and very knowledgeable. This clinic offers a non judgmental environment. By experience, I can confidently say that whatever injury or issue I may have will eventually get better (or be completely healed!) when following her advice. I would refer Dr. Beauchamp's services without hesitation.

All I can say is WOW! I sprained my ankle horribly back in September and had tried a few different things (physio, acupunture, medication for the swelling) to help the healing process. None of it seemed to work for me. After 5 months in AGONIZING pain, I finally listened to a friend who referred me to Dr. Beauchamp. Within 4 visits, the pain had decreased considerably, and I had gone from limping around to being able to jog on the treadmill. I'm extremely grateful to the team for making the healing process so accessible...You are AMAZING! Thank you!
