Treatment approach

Chiropractors utilize non-invasive techniques for the management of pain and other symptoms. While conservative management is the first line of treatment for mechanically related aches and pains, chiropractors may refer patients to the necessary disciplines where indicated. Conservative management is individualized and based on various considerations. Treatment protocols may include:


Spine & Joint Manipulation

Spinal manipulation is a technique that is applied by a gentle force to specific joints in the body. This includes the neck, back, shoulder, elbow, hip and knee joints. This may decrease pain and improve function of joints and muscles. An audible click may be heard and is usually painless.

Dry Needling

Dry Needling is a treatment whereby a fine needle is inserted into the muscle to assist with decreasing pain and improving function through the release of myofascial trigger points (knots in the muscle).
