Chiropractic
Chiropractic care focuses on the diagnosis and manual treatment of neuromusculoskeletal conditions, especially those related to the spine. Chiropractors use hands-on techniques—such as spinal adjustments, mobilizations, and soft tissue therapies—to help reduce pain, improve mobility, and support the body’s natural healing processes.
Whether you’re managing back or neck pain, recovering from an injury, or looking to improve your posture and movement patterns, chiropractic care can play an important role in your overall wellness. Chiropractors work collaboratively with other healthcare providers to ensure holistic, patient-centred care tailored to your specific goals and needs.
