What is Chiropractic


As spine, muscle, and nervous system experts, chiropractors provide qualified, effective treatment to promote health, alleviate pain, and improve your quality of life.

Chiropractors focus on your spine, muscle, and nervous system and treat the bones, muscles, soft tissues, and joints that you use every day. The spine, muscle, and nervous system supports your weight, keeps your body stable, protects your organs, and keeps you moving. It also connects directly to other vital systems in your body, which is why medical professionals, researchers, and the wider health community trust the spine care expertise of chiropractors to assess, diagnose, and treat conditions and injuries related to the spine, muscle, and nervous system. For optimal health and quality of life, a chiropractor should be part of every Canadian’s healthcare team.

Over 4 million Canadians visit a chiropractor each year!
Chiropractic focuses on the body’s inborn capacity to maintain and restore its own health. This inborn wisdom, or innate intelligence, helps the body constantly adapt to changes in its internal and external environment to help the body survive and thrive in changing conditions. The nervous system (through the brain and spinal cord) coordinates and controls the function of all of the body’s organs and systems, and even the function of its myriad cells.

Misalignments in the vertebrae that make up the spinal column can interfere with the transmission of information from the brain, over the spinal cord to the spinal nerves and, ultimately, to all systems of the body. These misalignments, called vertebral subluxations, can disrupt proper nerve function and lead to decreased performance and health.

Chiropractors locate, analyze and gently correct vertebral subluxations by using a broad range of adjusting techniques. By restoring proper nerve flow, the chiropractor helps people enjoy more of their full potential for health and optimal performance.
