Chiropractic is a non-invasive, hands-on health care discipline that focuses on the musculoskeletal system. Chiropractors use a manual approach, providing diagnosis, treatment and preventive care for disorders related to the neck and back, spine, pelvis, nervous system and joints. After establishing a working diagnosis, Chiropractors will develop a treatment plan which may include performing spinal adjustments, recommend exercises, use of other non-invasive therapies, and provide nutritional, dietary and lifestyle counselling.

Some conditions that may improve with Chiropractic care include the following:

Back Pain

Chronic or intermittent back pain can be draining and make your life miserable. Our chiropractors can help relieve your pain whether it is caused by a misalignment of the spine or is a result of an injury. From low back pain to radiating pain along your entire spine, we will find a treatment that works for you.

Whiplash and Neck Pain

Whiplash often occurs as a result of a car accident, but what many people do not know is that it can also be caused by countless other situations, as mild as they may seem when they happen. Whiplash can even be caused by an inadequate sleeping position. Many people dismiss the pain thinking that the soreness will go away on its own, which only makes the injury worse. Our chiropractors will be able to determine whether treatment for whiplash is needed.

Sports Injuries

Sports injuries aren't always as simple as a sprained ankle, stretched ligament or broken bone. They often require attentive chiropractic care to mend properly without leaving long-term damage and pain. If you have been injured while practicing your favorite sport and are in pain despite having been treated for the initial diagnosis, our chiropractors may be able to help.  In addition to regular chiropractic adjustments, we offer combination electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) and therapeutic ultrasound if deemed appropriate.

Headaches and Migraines

Occasional headaches are common and most people take a few aspirin and forget about them. If, however, you find yourself suffering from headaches or migraines frequently, you may have a more serious, underlying condition that can be evaluated and treated by our experienced chiropractors. Conditions such as whiplash and misaligned spines can often cause chronic or frequent headaches and migraines, so getting a professional opinion is strongly recommended.

Arthritic Pain

If you are living with chronic arthritic pain, you may have been told that your only option for relief is to manage your pain by taking pain killers as needed. You may be surprised to learn that a skilled chiropractor can in many cases bring you blessed relief from arthritic pain without prescribing costly medication.
