What is a Chiropractor?

Chiropractic care is a regulated healthcare profession dedicated to the non-invasive diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disorders of the neuromusculoskeletal system—specifically the spine, pelvis, nervous system, and joints. Chiropractors in Canada undergo extensive, rigorous medical training to become spine, muscle, and nervous system experts.

What Does a Chiropractor Do?

Chiropractors use their hands or specialized instruments to perform specific, controlled adjustments (also known as spinal manipulations) to joints—most commonly the spine. The goal of a chiropractic adjustment is to restore normal joint function, improve mobility, and alleviate pain caused by tissue injury resulting from a single traumatic event or repetitive stress.

  • Back and Neck Pain: The most common reasons patients seek chiropractic care, often caused by poor posture, workplace ergonomics, or injuries.
  • Headaches & Migraines: Tension headaches and cervicogenic headaches (originating from the neck) are frequently treated effectively with chiropractic adjustments.
  • Sciatica: Releasing pressure on the sciatic nerve to alleviate shooting pain down the leg.
  • Postural Correction: Evaluating and correcting spinal misalignments that lead to chronic structural issues.

Is Chiropractic Care Safe?

Yes, chiropractic care is widely recognized as one of the safest, drug-free, non-invasive therapies available for treating neuromusculoskeletal complaints. While no treatment is completely free of potential adverse effects, the risks associated with chiropractic adjustments are extremely small.

Common Questions About Chiropractors

Does a chiropractic adjustment hurt?
Chiropractic adjustments rarely cause discomfort. High-velocity, low-amplitude manipulation is designed to relieve pressure and restore joint function. Patients often hear a popping sound (joint cavitation) which is simply the release of gas bubbles from the joint fluid, providing immediate relief.
How long will I need chiropractic care?
The duration of care varies depending on the severity of the condition, your overall health, and your treatment goals. Some patients experience immediate relief, while chronic conditions may require a longer-term rehabilitative plan.
Is chiropractic care safe during pregnancy?
Yes, many chiropractors are trained to work with pregnant women. Chiropractic care during pregnancy can help manage back pain, pelvic changes, and postural adaptations as the baby grows, contributing to a more comfortable pregnancy and delivery.
