Chiropractic Care
Chiropractors in Ontario are primary health professionals who use a non-invasive, hands-on approach to evaluate, diagnose, and treat conditions related to the nerves, muscles, and joints. As chiropractic care professionals in the musculoskeletal system, chiropractors utilize the best available evidence and clinical expertise to address issues that impact your body’s movement and overall function. It’s important to note that chiropractors are capable of treating all the joints in your body, not just those in your back and neck.
