- 01
Initial Assessment
The first visit includes a health history review, physical examination, and movement assessment. Your chiropractor evaluates your spine, joints, and posture to identify areas of dysfunction. This assessment determines which treatment techniques will address your condition.
- 02
Treatment Plan
The chiropractor creates a treatment plan based on assessment findings. Plans typically include spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and rehabilitation exercises. Frequency and duration of treatment depend on the severity of your condition and how your body responds.
- 03
Manual Therapy Sessions
Treatment sessions use spinal manipulation and manual therapy techniques. The chiropractor applies controlled force to specific joints to restore mobility. Sessions may include soft tissue work on muscles and connective tissue surrounding the affected area.
- 04
Progress Monitoring
Your chiropractor tracks changes in pain levels, range of motion, and functional ability throughout treatment. Treatment adjusts based on your progress. You receive exercises and movement strategies to maintain improvements between appointments.
Types of Chiropractic Treatment
Chiropractic treatment addresses various conditions through spinal manipulation, soft tissue therapy, and rehabilitation exercises. Each treatment approach targets specific areas of dysfunction.
Spinal Adjustments for Pain and Mobility
Spinal adjustments use controlled force to restore joint mobility in the spine. Chiropractors identify areas where vertebrae have restricted movement and apply quick, targeted pressure to these joints. The adjustment creates an audible popping sound as gas bubbles release from the joint space.
Treatment addresses back pain, neck stiffness, and reduced range of motion. Spinal manipulation works by reducing nerve irritation and improving mechanical function in the affected area. Sessions typically last 15-30 minutes and may include multiple adjustments depending on the number of restricted joints.

Posture Correction Through Chiropractic Treatment
Poor posture creates muscle imbalances and joint stress that lead to pain. Forward head position, rounded shoulders, and anterior pelvic tilt are common postural problems. Posture correction combines spinal adjustments with targeted exercises to address these imbalances.
Treatment identifies which muscles have become shortened and which have weakened. Chiropractors adjust restricted joints while prescribing exercises to strengthen underactive muscles. Prolonged sitting and desk work are primary contributors to postural dysfunction. Regular treatment sessions combined with home exercises produce measurable improvements in alignment over weeks to months.

Sciatica Treatment with Chiropractic Care
Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve becomes compressed or irritated, causing pain that radiates from the lower back through the leg. Disc herniation, spinal stenosis, and piriformis syndrome are common causes. Symptoms include sharp pain, numbness, tingling, and muscle weakness in the affected leg.
Sciatica treatment uses spinal adjustments to reduce nerve pressure and improve joint mechanics. Chiropractors may apply flexion-distraction techniques that gently stretch the spine. Treatment also includes soft tissue work on muscles surrounding the sciatic nerve. Most cases require multiple sessions over several weeks to produce sustained improvement.
Chiropractic Treatment for Headaches and Migraines
Tension headaches and migraines often stem from cervical spine dysfunction and muscle tension in the neck and upper back. Restricted joint movement in the upper cervical spine can irritate nerves that contribute to head pain. Poor posture and stress increase muscle tension in this area.
Chiropractic treatment for headaches focuses on restoring normal movement to cervical joints and reducing muscle tension. Chiropractors adjust the upper cervical spine and work on tight muscles at the base of the skull. Treatment may decrease headache frequency and intensity when cervical dysfunction is a contributing factor. Results vary based on headache type and underlying causes.
Chiropractic Treatment for Sports Injuries
Sports injuries frequently involve joint sprains, muscle strains, and overuse conditions. These injuries affect athletes across all sports and skill levels. Common issues include shoulder impingement, ankle sprains, knee pain, and lower back strain.
Chiropractic treatment addresses biomechanical factors that contribute to injury and hinder recovery. Chiropractors assess movement patterns to identify compensations and restrictions. Treatment combines joint manipulation with soft tissue therapy and corrective exercises. The approach aims to restore normal movement mechanics and reduce re-injury risk. Recovery time depends on injury severity and tissue type involved.
Chiropractic Treatment During Pregnancy
Pregnancy causes significant changes in posture and spinal alignment. Weight gain in the abdomen shifts the center of gravity forward, increasing stress on the lower back. Hormonal changes loosen ligaments, which can lead to pelvic instability and discomfort.
Pregnancy chiropractic treatment uses modified techniques appropriate for each trimester. Chiropractors position patients on specialized cushions or use side-lying positions to accommodate the pregnant belly. Treatment focuses on the sacroiliac joints, lower back, and pelvis. Adjustments use lighter force compared to standard techniques. Treatment addresses back pain, pelvic discomfort, and sciatica that commonly occur during pregnancy.

Chiropractic Treatment for Chronic Pain
Chronic pain persists beyond normal healing time and can result from conditions like osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, or previous injury. Long-term pain changes how the nervous system processes signals, making pain management more complex than acute conditions.
Chiropractic treatment for chronic pain combines manual therapy with active rehabilitation. Chiropractors adjust restricted joints and work on tight muscles while incorporating exercises to build strength and endurance. Treatment plans extend over months rather than weeks. The approach addresses both physical restrictions and movement patterns that perpetuate pain. Regular treatment combined with self-management strategies produces gradual improvements in function and pain levels.
Work Injury Care Through Chiropractic Treatment
Prolonged sitting and repetitive movements create musculoskeletal problems common in office workers and manual laborers. Desk work leads to forward head posture, rounded shoulders, and lower back pain. Manual labor causes repetitive strain injuries and acute trauma from lifting or awkward positions.
Work injury care addresses these occupational issues through spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and ergonomic assessment. Chiropractors treat neck pain, back pain, and upper extremity problems resulting from workplace activities. Treatment includes education on proper posture, workstation setup, and movement breaks. Regular sessions help manage symptoms while workplace modifications prevent recurrence.
Licensed Chiropractors
Chiropractors complete a Doctor of Chiropractic degree program that includes study of anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and diagnostic procedures. Programs require completion of clinical training hours before graduation. Licensed chiropractors must pass national board examinations and meet provincial or state licensing requirements.
Treatment approaches vary between practitioners based on training background and clinical experience. Some chiropractors work independently while others practice in multidisciplinary clinics alongside physiotherapists, massage therapists, and other healthcare providers. Coordinated care between multiple practitioners addresses different aspects of a condition.

Direct Billing for Chiropractic Treatment
Many extended health insurance plans include coverage for chiropractic treatment. Coverage limits vary by policy. Some plans cover a set number of visits per year while others cap the total dollar amount reimbursed.
Direct billing submits insurance claims at the time of your appointment. This process reduces upfront payment since the clinic bills your insurer directly for covered amounts. You pay only the portion not covered by your plan. Not all insurance providers offer direct billing arrangements with all clinics.
Bring your insurance card and photo identification to appointments. Contact your insurance provider before treatment to verify chiropractic coverage details, annual limits, and whether direct billing applies to the clinic. If direct billing is unavailable, payment is collected at the appointment and you submit receipts to your insurer for reimbursement.
