Chiropractic Care/Doctor of Chiropractic
Chiropractors are regulated primary health care professionals.
Chiropractors are highly educated and extensively trained to assess, diagnosis, treat and prevent conditions/disorders of the spine, joints, muscle and nervous systems.
The word “chiropractic” comes from ancient Greek and means “done by hand.”
Chiropractors are specialists in the adjustment of the spinal vertebrae and other joints. The adjustment helps relieve pain and restore normal functioning to the spine, joints and supporting structures of the body therefore you can get back to optimally performing your activities of daily living.
Many patients seek chiropractic treatment for many reasons whether they be for acute or chronic issues and wellness care. It has a role to play in both symptomatic and non-symptomatic conditions. Chiropractic care can help you maintain a healthy spine and joint function even if you are not experiencing pain.
Some of the goals may include:
- Increasing range of motion and flexibility
- Improve posture
- Decreasing pain and inflammation
- Optimizing the quality of life through improved performance of activities of daily living
- Retraining and correcting the spine
- Correct gait
- Prevent and manage work related and sports related muscle and joint injuries

We want to help them achieve the goals that have been discussed upon review and investigation of their particular case.
