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.

It can help with issues like back pain, neck pain, headaches, and joint problems in your arms or legs.

What does a chiropractor mean by a 'subluxation' or 'joint restriction'?

Finally, many patients opt for wellness or maintenance care, which involves periodic check-ups to help maintain their progress and prevent future problems, though this is always your choice.

Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropractor in ON?
