What is a Chiropractic Adjustment/ Spinal Manipulation Therapy?
One of the many treatments in the chiropractors toolbox which involves the hands-on manual manipulation of the vertebrae of your spine or other joints of the body. To perform an adjustment your chiropractor will apply controlled force to the joint with their hands and guide the joint through a range of motion to restore the joints natural movement and improve the joints function. When applied to the spine it is called Spinal Manipulation Therapy!
Do I need a doctor’s referral?
No! We do not require a note from your doctor in order to assess and treat you. Although, chiropractors do work collaboratively with other healthcare providers such as physicians, physiotherapists, massage therapists and nurse practitioners to manage your condition.
How long is an assessment or treatment?
Each assessment is approximately 60 minutes long and will include treatment on your first day. An average treatment session may last anywhere from 15-45 minutes, depending on what services you require.
