Chiropractic care is proven as an effective treatment for back pain, hip and joint pain as well as headaches. Chiropractic care is not only effective but also an affordable option for Canadians. In fact approximately four and a half million Canadians use the services of a chiropractor each year.
Chiropractors are Doctors so no referral is necessary.
Chiropractors will fully assess your condition and provide a diagnosis and develop a comprehensive treatment/management plan. Since chiropractors have an extensive education they are trained to recommend therapeutic exercise, to utilize other non-invasive therapies, as well as to provide nutritional, dietary and lifestyle counseling.
The most common form of treatment is the chiropractic adjustment that is also known as spinal manipulative therapy. It is a non-invasive manual procedure that decreases pain, improve areas of reduced movement in the joints and supporting tissues and decrease muscle tightness or spasm. Adjustments also correct for conditions where the nervous system is affected by changes in the spine.
Research continues to show that chiropractic is a safe and in many cases the most effective form of treatment for conditions of the musculoskeletal system, most often conditions affecting the spine such as low back pain, neck pain and headaches.
The evidence is outstanding, as more people are turning away from the use of medications and are searching for non-surgical options, chiropractic is a sensible choice.
