Chiropractic
Chiropractic is a primary health care profession, which is based upon the understanding that good health depends, in part, upon a healthy functioning nervous system. Chiropractic stresses the idea that the cause of many disease processes begins with the body's inability to adapt to its environment-resulting in stress or disease. It looks to address these diseases not by the use of drugs and chemicals, but by locating and adjusting a musculoskeletal area of the body that is functioning improperly.

Doctors of chiropractic utilize many of the time-honoured methods of consultation such as: case history, physical examination, x-ray examination, and referral as necessary for diagnostic imaging such as CT scan, MRI, and bone densitometry. The conditions which doctors of chiropractic address are as varied and as vast as the nervous system itself. All chiropractors use standards of examination to assess and diagnose a patient's condition and arrive at a course of treatment. In addition, they provide a careful chiropractic structural, functional and biomechanical examination, paying particular attention to the spine. For more information click here.
