Chiropractic care is a patient-centred, non-invasive, hands-on, regulated health care profession focused on your spine, muscles, joints and nervous system.

Chiropractors use the best available evidence and clinical expertise to diagnose issues that affect your body’s movement. They treat them without medication or surgery and prevent them from returning. Chiropractic care can also promote health and improve your quality of life, as well as alleviate pain.

Some of the conditions chiropractors treat include:

• Back pain
• Neck pain
• Strains
• Sprains
• Pain associated with arthritis
• Work and sports injuries
