Chiropractic Treatment

Each chiropractor is uniquely qualified to evaluate your condition and identify what’s causing your pain. Then, based on the best available evidence and their clinical expertise, your chiropractor will work with you to determine the best treatment to relieve your pain. They will also help prevent it from returning and restore your mobility.

And in Ontario, you can visit a chiropractor without a doctor or other health care professional referral.

WHAT IS A SPINAL MANIPULATION / ADJUSTMENT

One of the most frequent treatments a chiropractor uses is a manual manipulation of the vertebrae of your spine or other joints, which is called an ‘adjustment.’ To perform an adjustment, your chiropractor will use their hands to apply controlled force to your joint and guide it through a range of motion. This action restores your joint’s natural movement and improves its function. This treatment is called spinal manipulation therapy (SMT) when applied to your spine. As an effective treatment, manipulation is used on other joints, such as those in your wrist, ankle, or foot.
