CHIROPRACTIC
Working with muscles, joints, connective tissues and the nervous system, Chiropractic medicine focuses on restoring optimal health and preventing further injury in a safe and effective manner. Chiropractors improve restricted movement and relieve pain by manually adjusting the joints of the spine and limbs in order to promote and restore your body’s function and relive pain. Chiropractors also use alternative therapies to help restore the body back to its normal pain free state and function including modalities such as electrotherapy and acupuncture.
Chiropractic is one of the largest primary-contact health care professions in Ontario. Like your family doctor, you do not need a referral to see a chiropractor.
Chiropractic is a non-invasive, hands-on health care discipline that focuses on the neuromusculoskeletal system. This means that chiropractors treat many conditions related to the nerves, muscles, and joints of the spine and limbs.
Through a comprehensive examination, chiropractors provide diagnosis and individual treatment for disorders related to the spine, pelvis, nervous system and joints. Chiropractors can also prescribe therapeutic exercise, and provide nutritional, dietary and lifestyle counselling.

ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture is an ancient form of Chinese medicine involving the insertion of solid thin sterile acupuncture needles into the skin at specific points on the body in order to achieve a therapeutic effect and help treat painful conditions.
Acupuncture is used to promote the body’s natural healing, improve mood and energy, relieve pain and improve function of affected areas of the body. It is safe and effective and is often successfully used as an alternative to medications or even surgery. Acupuncture can be used to treat a variety of conditions including allergies, muscle/joint pain, to improve fertility in men and women, helping with stress/anxiety reduction and much more.
