Chiropractic

What is chiropractic?

Chiropractic is a regulated health care profession in Canada focused on assessing, diagnosing and treating concerns and issues arising from the muscles, bones, joints and the nervous system. Chiropractors utilize a hands-on, non-invasive and drug-free approach to care, while often incorporating exercise, rehab, modalities and education into their treatments. 

What to expect

Your first visit begins with an initial assessment, a conversation and physical examination that allows your chiropractor to understand your case, address your goals and any concerns or questions you may have. From there, your chiropractor will explain their diagnosis and propose a plan of management. Chiropractic care may include a combination of soft tissue therapy, chiropractic adjustments/ manipulation, rehabilitative exercise and patient education. Treatment plans are tailored to what you and your chiropractor discuss will be best for you.
