Corrective Chiropractic Care

Many patients come to chiropractic clinics not just for pain relief but also for preventive purposes – they want to maintain and improve their overall health by catching potential problems before they become serious. 

Chiropractors do not just focus on treating symptoms but are trained to spot health and wellness issues early so that they can be resolved quickly. If a patient comes into our office with lower back pain one day, then they can leave without pain the same day. However, we may recommend that the patient comes in for regular check-ups to ensure that the issue doesn't become chronic.

What types of procedures do chiropractors use?

Chiropractic treatment primarily focuses on restoring proper alignment and movement to misaligned or injured parts of the spine. We use our hands to manually manipulate the patient's spine, applying pressure in order to reduce muscle tension or irritation.

Corrective chiropractic care is a tool for preventing re-injury and accelerating rehabilitation. It includes using exercises to strengthen muscles, providing physical therapy or occupational therapy services before discharge from a hospital or nursing home.

We are teaching compensatory techniques like transferring weight-bearing activities from one limb to another to decrease the risk of falls—the goal: no more pain.

What does corrective chiropractic care do?

Corrective chiropractic care provides counselling and support services that help patients maintain their health in the long term. It helps them avoid triggering behaviours such as eating too little or drinking alcohol excessively, leading to conditions like diabetes or excessive stress on the liver.

Rather than just focusing on treating medical issues, it’s about addressing social and environmental factors that affect one’s health. It is a process for identifying and tackling root causes or other contributing risks to improve the person’s situation while aiming to achieve their desired future state.
