Chiropractic

What is Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractic care focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of musculoskeletal disorders, particularly those affecting the spine, joints, and nervous system. Chiropractors are highly trained professionals who undergo extensive education, including a four-year doctoral program at an accredited chiropractic college and over 4,200 hours of specialized clinical training. This education includes in-depth studies in anatomy, biomechanics, pathology, radiology, and chiropractic techniques.

Comprehensive Assessment & Personalized Treatment

During your visit to York-Med Physiotherapy & Wellness Centre, our chiropractor will take a detailed medical history and perform a comprehensive physical examination to assess your condition. Based on this evaluation, a personalized treatment plan will be developed to address your specific needs. Chiropractic treatments focus on hands-on techniques, with the most common being spinal manipulative therapy (SMT). SMT is designed to improve spinal joint mobility, reduce pain, and restore proper movement patterns.

Chiropractic Treatment Techniques

Our chiropractor uses a diversified style of spinal adjustments to help alleviate restrictions in the spine and extremities. These adjustments improve joint range of motion, positively impact the nervous system, and aid in the musculoskeletal system’s function.

In addition to spinal adjustments, we offer:

• Therapeutic exercise to improve flexibility and strength
• Nutritional, dietary, and lifestyle counseling to promote long-term health
• Preventative care to reduce the risk of future injuries
• Performance enhancement for athletes and active individuals
