What is Chiropractic
Chiropractic is a non-invasive, evidence informed, hands-on health care discipline that focuses on the musculoskeletal system. It is one of the largest professions in Ontario with almost 2.7 million Ontarians relying on chiropractic care every year.
Chiropractors are trained to provide thorough assessment, diagnoses and treatment of the musculoskeletal system. Chiropractors often use a combination of treatments depending on the needs and goals of the patient. These treatments may include various hands-on, non-invasive techniques, use of various modalities such as
Chiropractors are specialists in spinal manipulative therapy (smt) and manipulation/adjustment of other joints of the body. These adjustments help to relieve pain, and restore normal functioning to the spine and joints. Many chiropractors are also trained in the use of “soft-tissue” treatment techniques to help resolve muscle pain and/or injury.
Chiropractors may also use various modalities to help in pain relieve and fast recovery. These modalities may include low energy laser, heat or cold, electro-modalities (TENS, IFC) or ultrasound. Rehabilitation exercises often form a critical part of complete injury recovery and are often prescribed.
Chiropractic Training involves many hours of classroom education and clinical experience. All chiropractors have obtained several years of undergraduate university education before embarking on the four year Doctor of Chiropractic program. Drs. Of Chiropractic receive more than 4200 hours of specialized clinical training including studies in anatomy, pathology, biomechanics, chiropractic principles, diagnosis and adjustment techniques.
