Chiropractic is a natural and non-invasive approach to healthcare that focuses on the body's ability to heal itself. Chiropractors are primary care professionals who assess, diagnose, and treat various musculoskeletal and nervous system disorders. They specifically evaluate the spine, pelvis, extremity joints, and their impact on the nervous system. Chiropractors utilize manual techniques, such as spinal adjustments and manipulations, to restore proper alignment and function to the body. By doing so, they aim to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and enhance overall health. These adjustments are typically performed with the hands or specialized instruments. In addition to manual therapies, chiropractors may recommend therapeutic exercises to strengthen and rehabilitate the body. They may also employ other non-invasive treatments such as soft tissue techniques, acupuncture, ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and heat/cold therapy. Chiropractors recognize the importance of a holistic approach to healthcare and often provide nutritional, dietary, and lifestyle counseling to support their patients' overall well-being. They work closely with individuals to develop personalized treatment plans that address not only the immediate concerns but also focus on long-term prevention and wellness. With over 6,000 practicing chiropractors in Canada and approximately four and a half million Canadians seeking their services each year, chiropractic has become a widely recognized and utilized form of healthcare. Its natural and patient-centered approach appeals to many individuals looking for alternatives to medication or surgery for managing their health conditions.
