Chiropractic Care

We're happy to report that most of our patients find adjustments comfortable and relieving. Adjustments aim to restore balance to your spine and nervous system, allowing for better communication between the brain and body. When proper communication is restored, the body can function optimally! Occasionally a patient will feel some discomfort during a treatment but often that is no more than they are already experiencing due to their condition.

Many patients will experience some relief within the first 24 hours, however one fifth of patients will still feel discomfort. The discomfort can be similar to what a person might feel after doing a hard workout. It is a healing pain, not a harming pain. It is also important to remember that in most cases, several factors contributed to the injury and therefore will take some time to heal.

For those that are experiencing extreme pain prior to their adjustment, the chiropractor will modify the adjustment in order to keep the patient as comfortable as possible while still providing an effective treatment. Our chiropractic team will also recommend other methods to relieve some of the pain prior to your next treatment. Initially, we will be working to reduce inflammation, increase movement and remove pain, therefore appropriate, light stretching, ice or heat packs, and homeopathic ointments such as Traumacare or Biofreeze can be helpful.

It's possible-and entirely normal. The 'popping' sound you may hear is not your bones cracking-it's actually just gas escaping from the joints. This occurs when a joint is moved quickly through it's full range of motion causing a gas exchange in the joint.

Choosing to continue chiropractic care with us after you've achieved your initial treatment goals, is entirely up to you. Most patients continue to visit us monthly or even weekly, depending on their unique needs. This is because once they're out of pain, they feel incredible, and want to keep feeling that way! Regular chiropractic care may help lessen your chance of reinjury. but more importantly, it can detect and prevent early spinal decay. For those who have already have osteoarthritis, chiropractic care can improve function and prevent further decay to maintain movement and longevity.

Yes, we refer many patients to an x-ray lab so we can see exactly what is going on in the body. We will review them before your next appointment and show you exactly what's going on inside of your body; making you an active partner in your natural wellness care. We will provide you with a copy of your x-rays so you can share them with your other health providers or show them to your family so they can also understand your chiropractic needs.

Workplace injuries should also be reported to a chiropractic office quickly to ensure proper recovery and to achieve a timely return to work. Although some workplaces encourage their workers to use their health benefits, we always advise patients to go through the appropriate channel which is Workers' Compensation Board (WCB). Our Chiropractic team can help you with the paperwork and advise you how to move forward with your claim.
