- What is chiropractic care and how can it help me?
- Chiropractic is a healthcare profession focused on diagnosing, treating, and preventing disorders of the neuromusculoskeletal system, primarily the spine, and their effects on overall health. Chiropractors use hands-on spinal manipulation (adjustments) and other manual therapies, as well as exercise, and lifestyle counseling, to relieve pain, restore function, and support your body's natural ability to heal. It can help with issues like back pain, neck pain, headaches, and joint problems in your arms or legs.
- How can I tell if chiropractic care is right for me?
- If you are experiencing pain, stiffness, or dysfunction related to your spine, muscles, joints, or nerves—particularly issues like back pain, neck pain, headaches, or extremity joint problems—chiropractic care may be very beneficial. Scheduling an initial consultation with Dr. Mahoney allows for a thorough assessment, discussion of your health goals, and determination of the most appropriate treatment approach for your needs.

- In Ontario, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, meaning you can book an appointment directly without a referral from a medical doctor.

It’s advisable to check with your insurance provider to understand your coverage.
