What
is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a branch of health sciences which
focuses on the neuromusculoskeletal system. Chiropractors
use various diagnostic methods, including x-rays and
orthopaedic testing, to facilitate the diagnoses, treatment
and prevention of disorders related to the spine, nervous
system and joints, and will develop a comprehensive
individual plan of management for each patient.
How
can Chiropractic help me?
Chiropractors use a drug-free manual approach to assess
and treat patients with disorders related to the spine,
extremities, and pelvis and their effects on the nervous
system. Chiropractors specialize in treating all regions
of the body, including shoulders, knees, ankles and
wrists. Chiropractors can treat dysfunctions of the
musculoskeletal system with techniques such as joint
manipulation, or adjustments (to help decrease pain
and increase mobility), soft tissue techniques (to decrease
scar tissue, and restore function), as well as prescribing
strengthening, stretching and rehabilitation exercises
to help restore function. Chiropractors can also give
you strategies to help prevent future injuries, such
as prescribing core strengthening exercises to help
stabilize your spine and strengthen your abdominal muscles.
Is
Chiropractic effective?
Yes. Chiropractic care is a drug-free, non-invasive
approach to treating common musculoskeletal conditions,
and complications arising from treatment are rare.
Scientific evidence proving the effectiveness of chiropractic
care for a variety of conditions is overwhelming. Over
the past 20 years, many controlled and independent research
studies have repeatedly shown that chiropractic care
is safe and effective for treating low back pain, neck
pain, headaches and other conditions relating to the
musculoskeletal system.
How
can I benefit from Chiropractic care?
• Are you suffering from low back pain?
• Do your headaches never seem to go away?
• Have you been injured at work or suffer from
repetitive strain injuries?
• Have you been injured in a car accident resulting
in injuries, including whiplash?
• Are you active in sports, but after the game
have stiff joints or shooting pains?
• Are you pregnant with an aching back?
•
Do you suffer from fibromyalgia or other chronic pain
conditions?
• Are you in your Golden years and having trouble
enjoying retirement because those aches and pains are
getting in the way?
• Are you concerned with the health of your whole
body, and are looking for a different approach to health
care?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you should
arrange a consultation with our chiropractor.
Every day in Canada, over 120,000 people receive treatment
from Doctors of Chiropractic. Your chiropractor is a
doctor with over 7 years of university education in
the art of hands-on healing. Chiropractors use a combination
of treatments for your condition. They are specialists
in using exact, gentle manipulations of your spine to
make you feel great. Chiropractic treatment also includes
diet and exercise programs and takes a holistic approach
to help restore your body to its optimal health.
What
education and training do chiropractors have?
Chiropractors are educated as primary contact health
care practitioners, with an emphasis on neuromusculoskeletal
diagnosis and treatment. Preparation for the practice
of chiropractic is concentrated on three areas: basic
training in the biological and health sciences, specialized
training in the chiropractic discipline, and extensive
clinical training.
Becoming a chiropractor
in Canada requires a minimum of 7 years of post-secondary
education including no less than 4 years of full-time
classroom and clinical instruction at an institution
approved by the Council on Chiropractic Education Canada.
Chiropractic
treatment for children
Children may benefit from chiropractic care. Children
are very physically active and experience many types
of falls and blows from activities of daily living as
well as from participating in sports. Injuries such
as these may cause many symptoms including back and
neck pain, stiffness, soreness or discomfort. Chiropractic
care is always adapted to the individual patient. It
is a highly skilled treatment, and in the case of children,
very gentle.
