Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic is a primary health care profession and thus, a referral is not required for you to see a chiropractor. Chiropractors are specialists in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disorders of the neuromusculoskeletal system. Chiropractic is based on the premise that joint dysfunction and poor biomechanics cause inflammation and nerve irritation resulting in a wide variety of symptoms including pain, numbness, stiffness and weakness. A chiropractic doctor identifies the dysfunction, and, using gentle manual therapy techniques, restores the normal joint mobility. This addresses the cause of the problem and works with the body’s natural ability to heal itself, without the use of drugs or surgery
