Chiropractic Treatment

Chiropractic is from Greek words meaning done by hand. It is one of the largest primary-contact health care professions in Canada. Chiropractic is a non-invasive, hands-on health care discipline that focuses on the neuromusculoskeletal system.

Chiropractors practice a manual approach, providing diagnosis, treatment and preventative care for disorders related to the spine, pelvis, nervous system and joints.

They are specialists in using manipulations of joints to improve range of motion, flexibility, and to restore proper function. Chiropractic treatment is one of the most popular alternative therapies currently available and is covered by many insurance plans.

Chiropractors use a combination of treatments, all of which are predicated on the specific needs of the individual patient. After taking a complete history and diagnosing a patient, a chiropractor can develop and carry out a comprehensive treatment/management plan, recommend therapeutic exercise and other non-invasive therapies, and provide nutritional, dietary and lifestyle counselling.

Psychological Assessment and Therapy

Custom made foot orthotics are hand-crafted insoles made out of the highest quality material and worn inside your shoe. They are individually designed to relieve foot, ankle, knee hip and/or lower back pain. By altering the position of your foot, they can limit themovement in your unstable foot joints and provide support to excessively stressed areas.

The journey down a path to daily suffering and loss often starts with a simple injury and cascades innocently downward with continued pain, imperfect healing, medical complications and failures, loss of job, loss of financial support, loss of friends, and depression.

Research suggests that the therapy can improve success rates for patients with acute and chronic pain caused by soft-tissue injuries.
