The word “Chiropractic” comes from ancient Greek and means "done by hand.”

If you are experiencing back or neck pain, you may seek out a Doctor of Chiropractic for an adjustment. However, what you might not realize is just how many other health concerns can be addressed by chiropractic care.

Chiropractic care and techniques are a valued part of a holistic approach to patient care. Chiropractors can address a variety of ailments through adjustments of the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. These adjustments help restore proper function and communication throughout the body.

Our Chiropractic Physician commonly treat spinal injuries, disc pain (bulging, herniation), tendonitis, arm/leg injuries (hip, knee, ankle, foot, hand, wrist, elbow and shoulder), whiplash injuries and workplace injuries.  We use non-invasive means to treat injuries through Chiropractic adjustments and other forms of physiotherapy (ultrasound, shockwave therapy, spinal decompression, electro-muscular stimulation, motion guidance laser system and muscular release).

Neck and back pain are common ailments treated by a chiropractor, whether from a specific health incident like whiplash or a herniated disc or chronic pain. An experienced chiropractor will perform a thorough examination to determine the source of pain or irritation, provide a diagnosis and develop a specific treatment plan that fits the diagnosis and patient availability.  Our goal is to help our patients return to a normal life and to restore activities that may have been lost due to pain or irritation.

Whiplash from an auto accident can cause neck pain that can become chronic if not treated properly. A chiropractor would provide a non-invasive approach to not only address the pain but also any other underlying issues such as muscular weakness or postural changes.

Often, misalignments in the spinal column can put a strain on neck muscles and nerves, which sends a signal to your body that you are experiencing pain. When a subluxation is properly adjusted, a healthy alignment would relieve muscle tension and allow the body to communicate effectively.
