Chiropractic
What is it?
Chiropractic is a patient-centered, non-invasive, hands-on, regulated health care profession focused on your spine, muscles, joints and nervous system.
Common treatments a Chiropractor uses is manual manipulation of the vertebrae of your spine or other joints, which is called an ‘adjustment.’
To perform an adjustment, a Chiropractor will use their hands (or a low force instrument such as an Activator) to apply a controlled force to the joint and guide it through a range of motion. This action restores your joint’s natural movement and improves its function. A chiropractor can alleviate long-term or sporadic pain, promote health, and help you live your best life.
Whether you’re at home, at work or out and about, daily living puts strain on our bodies. As a result, you may suffer from persistent headaches, migraines, back, neck, or general joint pain. You may also have this type of pain due to an injury, accident, illness, or long-term condition.
