Most people have heard of chiropractors, but not everyone understands what they do. Chiropractic care is a form of alternative medicine that focuses on neuromuscular disorders, helping to reduce pain and improve overall quality of life. Active Care is a leading provider of alternative health services in the Greater Toronto Area, with a clinic in Thornhill and a proven track record of successfully treating a wide range of patients.
Many people are unsure whether their condition could benefit from a visit to a professionally trained chiropractor. Chiropractors primarily focus on the spine, ensuring it is properly aligned and not negatively impacting the nervous system. When the musculoskeletal system—including muscles, bones, ligaments, tendons, and cartilage—interferes with the nervous system, it can lead to various health issues. You may want to consider chiropractic care if you are experiencing any of the following conditions:
Chiropractic care is considered a natural, preventative treatment that does not involve medication or surgery. During your first visit to our clinic, the chiropractor will conduct a thorough assessment of your health, which includes the following steps:
A review of your health history, concentrating on any injuries or illnesses you previously suffered from, in addition to any conditions and treatments you are currently undergoing.
You will then be asked for information on your diet, lifestyle, sleeping patterns, the amount of exercise you do and whether you smoke or drink.
Finally, our chiropractor will complete a physical examination, carefully inspecting your spine as well as your joints. In some cases, the chiropractor may carry out additional tests, such as a blood pressure test and a series of X-rays.
Our chiropractor will use the information gathered during your initial appointment to diagnose your condition and identify the root cause of your problem. Based on this assessment, a customized treatment plan will be created to meet your specific needs. The chiropractor may incorporate a variety of treatments into your program, including:
Manual Manipulation: Also known as an adjustment, this is the most common chiropractic technique, where controlled force is applied to a part of the spine to reduce interference with the nervous system.
Mobilization: This technique involves low-velocity manipulation of muscles and joints to improve flexibility and range of motion in affected areas.
At Active Care Health Services, we take pride in our professionalism and commitment to exceptional client care. Our experienced chiropractors are well-equipped to treat a wide range of conditions.
