Overview
What is Chiropractic care?

- Safely and effectively helps relieve pain and improve the body’s overall function,
- Uses various treatments depending on your needs, from manual ‘hands-on’ adjustment techniques to soft tissue therapy. (Canadian Chiropractic Association)
Chiropractic is a health-care profession that focuses on the spine and other joints of the body, and their connection to the nervous system. The word Chiropractic means ‘to be done by hand.’ Chiropractors use adjustments to restore joint function and support the nervous system. They help patients maintain optimal health while avoiding unnecessary drugs or surgery.
A Chiropractor is a primary care doctor who specializes in spinal health and well-being. They focus on the prevention, diagnosis, and conservative care of spine-related disorders and other painful joint issues. In addition to adjustments, Chiropractors also provide soft-tissue therapies, lifestyle recommendations, fitness coaching and nutritional advice.
A Chiropractic adjustment is a very safe, specific, controlled force applied to a joint to restore proper function and mobility. Accidents, falls, stress or overexertion can negatively impact your spine or other joints. These changes impact tissues, the nervous system and other areas of the body. Left unresolved, this can make you more susceptible to chronic problems.
