FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IS CHIROPRACTIC?
Chiropractors are primary health care practitioners, meaning you don’t need a referral to consult a chiropractor. We are trained to assess, diagnose, and manage a wide range of musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions, especially those related to the spine, and their effects on the nervous system and overall health.
WHAT COMMON SPORTS INJURIES AND PAINS ARE TREATED BY CHIROPRACTORS?
Chiropractors commonly treat conditions such as:
* Shoulder pain - including rotator cuff injuries or impingement
* Neck pain - may be caused by poor posture, strain, or sudden movements like whiplash
* Hip, knee and ankle pain - common in athletes who run, jump or change direction quickly.
WHO CAN SEE A CHIROPRACTOR?
Chiropractic care is available for all, from infants to geriatric patients. If you are unsure if chiropractic treatment can help you please do contact the clinic to discuss this with a member of our team.
CAN A CHIROPRACTOR HELP WITH MY BACK OR NECK PAIN?
