What to Expect
Your visit starts with an assessment.
We review your history, symptoms, movement, and the areas that may be contributing to the problem. From there, we decide what type of care is appropriate for you.
If chiropractic care is clinically indicated, we will explain how it fits into your plan and what the next steps may look like.
Your visit may include:
- A clinical assessment
- Clear findings and recommendations
- Hands-on care if appropriate
- Home care guidance, such as stretching or simple exercises
- Follow-up care based on your progress
Chiropractic Adjustments
What It Is
An adjustment is a precise, hands-on technique used to restore motion to joints that are not moving properly.
Restrictions in the spine or extremities can contribute to pain, stiffness, and reduced function—issues that affect millions of Canadians, with chronic pain impacting an estimated 7.3 million people nationwide.
How It Helps
By applying a controlled, specific force, adjustments improve mobility, reduce irritation, and support normal movement patterns.
How We Use It
Adjustments are safe and tailored to the individual, with techniques adapted for all ages and stages of life.
They are used as part of a broader plan—often alongside exercise and education—with each visit guided by clear clinical purpose and your progress.
When manual adjustments are not appropriate, lower force options, including drop table and instrument adjusting techniques are employed.
