Chiropractic for back pain relief.
Chiropractors are well-known to use spinal adjustments to help reduce tension and stiffness associated with back and neck pain. These joint mobilizations are characteristic of chiropractic care, and help alleviate spasm, improve posture and movement patterns, and reduce mechanical stress on the back and spinal cord. Although back pain, neck pain, and headaches are some of the most common reasons patients seek chiropractic in Toronto, Chiropractors are adept at treating sports injuries, repetitive strain, and chronic conditions, and can help improve mobility and function for patients of all ages.
Chiropractic as holistic healthcare.
Patients who receive regular chiropractic treatment not only see improvements in their physical challenges, but also benefit from the holistic qualities of chiropractic care. The spinal cord is a superhighway of nerves that connects the brain to all other tissues (muscles, joints and organs) in the body. Chiropractic helps to reduce pressure and strain on the spinal cord by encouraging ideal alignment and movement mechanics, which is like reducing "traffic" on the superhighway, and allows the nerve signals to travel freely. This allows the nervous system to move out "fight or flight" mode, and into a state of restful recovery and supports healthy autonomic nervous system and organ function.
Chiropractors do more than crack backs!
Chiropractic medicine is a non-invasive, hands-on treatment that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment and preventative care of the musculoskeletal system. Chiropractors use the best available evidence and clinical expertise to diagnose issues that affect your body’s movement. Chiropractic medicine is a dynamic treatment that utilizes various treatment methods depending on the patient’s specific needs and preferences.
