Chiropractic Therapy at Physiotherapy @ Woodbridge

What Is Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractic care is a form of alternative medicine that involves the manipulation of the spine, joints, and soft tissues to alleviate pain and discomfort.

Many chiropractors focus on treating neck pain, back pain, and pinched nerves, but the treatment can also be used for other conditions. Chiropractic care aims to improve the function of the nervous system and overall body function without surgery or drugs.

Chiropractors undergo extensive education and training to assess and diagnose conditions related to the musculoskeletal and nervous systems and develop personalized treatment plans for each patient. It is a safe and effective option for people of all ages and physical abilities.

What Can I Expect?

Chiropractic care is an essential form of primary care that focuses on manual therapies for the treatment of neuromusculoskeletal disorders. Your chiropractor will start by listening to your concerns and performing a comprehensive medical history to gain a better understanding of your symptoms, lifestyle habits, previous injuries, and other health conditions.

After that, a thorough physical examination will be conducted to assess your range of motion, muscle strength, and overall movement patterns to develop a customized treatment plan to help you achieve your health goals. Chiropractic adjustments or spinal manipulations will primarily be used to alleviate pain and tension, increase joint mobility, and improve function. The treatment plan will be tailored to your comfort level, and follow-up sessions will be scheduled to monitor your progress and make necessary adjustments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Does insurance cover chiropractic?

Insurance coverage for chiropractic care varies depending on your specific insurance provider and plan. Some plans offer reimbursement for chiropractic care, while others do not. You will need to clarify with your insurance company directly to determine whether your plan covers chiropractic care and what your out-of-pocket expenses will be.

What is the cost of a chiropractic session?

The initial chiropractor’s assessment fee is $120. Follow-up visits may cost between $90 and $120 per session, depending on the type and length of the treatment session.

Do you offer direct billing for chiropractic services?

Is a physician's referral necessary for chiropractic care?

Patients do not need a referral to see a chiropractor. Chiropractors are recognized as primary contact healthcare providers so that patients can consult them directly.

Are chiropractic services safe for children?

Yes, chiropractic care is safe and effective for children. Kids are more prone to sports injuries and physical activity-related injuries that may cause discomfort in the back and neck. Chiropractors customize treatment plans for each patient, tailoring gentle and safe therapy for children.

Why do joints make a popping sound during adjustment?

When a joint is adjusted, it can cause the release of gas bubbles, which results in a popping sound. This noise is caused by a shift in pressure within the joint, which causes the expulsion of gas bubbles. Typically, there is no pain involved.

How are chiropractors trained and educated?

Chiropractors undergo rigorous and extensive training. After completing four years of university, chiropractors attend four years of chiropractic school. They then take extensive qualification exams to be licensed in Canada, and they are considered licensed healthcare practitioners.
