What is Chiropractic?
The word "chiropractic" comes from ancient Greek and means "done by hand." Adjustment of the joints of the body has been used in health care for many centuries and is at the heart of modern chiropractic care. Chiropractors are specialists in manual adjustment of the vertebrae of the spine and other joints.
Adjustment helps relieve pain and restore normal functioning to the spine, joints and supporting structures of the body - so you can enjoy your everyday activities again as quickly as possible. Chiropractors are also trained to prescribe therapeutic exercise, provide nutritional counselling, and recommend rehabilitation and injury prevention strategies.
A good way to view the chiropractor in relation to other doctors is as neuromusculoskeletal specialists. If the problem is related to a joint, muscle, nerve, tendon, ligament or functional issue we are the best trained to examine, diagnose and coordinate treatment for the condition.
