Chiropractors specialize in spine care, however they also learn how to diagnose and treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions.
A manipulation (or an adjustment) is a highly-skilled and precise mechanical treatment that helps to restore movement back to normal. Often a “cracking” or “popping” sound is heard due to the change of pressure within the joint as a result of the adjustment.
An adjustment is a safe and effective mechanical treatment aimed to reduce pain, stiffness, and improve movement. Most patients experience immediate relief following treatment.
Chiropractors must complete a rigorous 4 year Doctor of Chiropractic degree after completing a postsecondary program. The Doctor of Chiropractic program includes an integrative curriculum specializing in clinical skills and decision making while also getting hands on experience through courses in chiropractic skills, diagnosis and symptomatology, orthopaedics and diagnostic imaging, as well as a 12 month internship.
Acupuncture
Contemporary medical acupuncture is a precise peripheral nerve stimulation technique in which fine solid needles are inserted into specific locations with or without electricity for the therapeutic purpose of modulating abnormal activity of the nervous system. Electro acupuncture involves passing a pulsed current through the body via acupuncture needles. Over 200 hours of instruction and practice is required by the College of Chiropractors of Ontario.
Active Release Technique
Active Release Technique (ART®) is an effective way to treat soft tissue disorders. It is a form of active, manual therapy utilizing specific movement protocols to restore motion and function to soft tissue with the goal of reducing pain and dysfunction. ART® is often used in conjunction with mobilization/manipulation, and will be a staple treatment in your individualized care.

Pediatric Chiropractor Care
Pediatric chiropractic care is a gentle treatment modified to a child’s size. Pediatric care involves a thorough history and detailed physical examination including full spine, muscle and motion palpation to determine necessary treatment.
Chiropractic care can assist with health complaints such as nursing difficulties, like latching and sleeping difficulties.
Like adults, children and teens can also experience musculoskeletal pain and injuries to the back, neck, knees, shoulders and other areas of the body. The assessment and technique used to manage these issues are similar to those of adults, but gentler and adjusted to the body and age of the patient based on development.
Chiropractic care can assist in the treatment of injuries related to falls, sports, and day-to-day life! Depending on the symptoms, treatment can include gentle mobilizations or manipulation, soft tissue therapy, exercise, postural correction and lifestyle counselling.
