Our Chiropractor’s begin by taking a detailed history of your condition and of your health in general. We then perform a physical examination performing various orthopedic, neurological, range of motion, strength and postural assessments. We are then able to provide a differential diagnosis for the patient’s condition(s) and map out a comprehensive treatment & management plan. Our chiropractors are also trained to prescribe therapeutic exercise and to utilize other non-invasive therapies and counselling.

Treatment is delivered principally by hand and primarily specific chiropractic manipulation and adjustments, along with other therapeutic approaches such as soft tissue therapy, muscle stimulation and ultrasound. In some cases nutritional and lifestyle modifications may be prescribed, rehabilitation exercise and ergonomic recommendations for the workplace may also be part of your treatment.
