At Marine Drive Chiropractic, we believe longevity isn’t just about living longer, but living better. Strength training, regular movement, and smart recovery habits all play a role, but chiropractic care adds another layer. Keeping your body aligned and joints moving helps manage aches from becoming roadblocks in life and exercise.
Simple weight training (lifting) activities can help add comfort to your years ahead. We recommend you visit his Instagram account which is loaded with humour, tips and tricks, videos, and ideas to add to your routine.
You don’t need to be in the gym to add strength training. Ask Dr. Leering for ideas and resources next time you visit (or if you visit for a first time).
Dr. Leering walks the talk with his own workouts and care routines, and he recommends the same to patients on the North Shore. He feels firsthand how regular strength training combined with consistent chiropractic helps maintain resilience well into mid-life and beyond. It’s not about chasing perfection, but about staying mobile, pain-free, and able to do the things you love. (And one of the things he loves is being able to take care of his patients)
How does chiropractic fit into this longevity plan?
Think of strength training as an insurance plan to minimize aches, pains, and damage when injury, accident, and age happen. (And, they will. That’s life.)
Then think of chiropractic as targeted services that help you get back on track as fast as possible. Chiropractic maintains function and prevents small issues from becoming big ones.
How Chiropractic Adds to Longevity
- Patient assessments: A full head-to-toe evaluation helps us spot movement problems early, keeping you active and preventing future limitations.
- Accident recovery: Motor vehicle injury care ensures setbacks don’t become lifelong restrictions, restoring movement and comfort as fully as possible.
- Ongoing and preventive care: Regular tune-ups ease recurring stiffness and catch small aches before they affect your lifestyle.
- Sport injury support: Treatment and Shockwave therapy help you bounce back faster, so you can keep training, moving, and building strength at any age.
- Headache and neck care: Addressing migraines, whiplash, and neck tension reduces the chronic stress that wears you down over time.
- Foot and gait support: Shockwave therapy and custom orthotics improve how you move from the ground up, protecting knees, hips, and spine as you age.
- Vertigo and balance care: By improving neck and vestibular function, we support the stability you need to stay confident and mobile.
- Care for aging bodies: Gentle techniques like Activator or Impulse tools make treatment safe and effective, even for those with osteoarthritis or osteoporosis.
When you combine these services with intentional lifting and strength building, good sleep, regular movement, you create a toolkit for living longer, stronger, and more comfortably.
Longevity isn’t about avoiding age — it’s about embracing it with pain-free movement as much as possible, for as long as possible.
