Chiropractic is based upon the understanding that health depends, in part, upon a normally functioning musculoskeletal system (nerves, muscles and bones, chiefly in the spine). It looks to address these conditions not by the use of drugs and surgery, but by locating and adjusting a musculoskeletal area of the body which is functioning improperly.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What conditions do chiropractors treat?” open_toggle_background_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0)” closed_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” icon_color=”#0079ff” _builder_version=”3.13″ border_width_all=”0px” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n Chiropractic care is used most often to treat complaints including, but not limited to back pain, neck pain, joint pain in the hands, elbows, shoulders, hips, knees and ankles, sports injuries, pinched nerves and headaches.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Is Chiropractic treatment effective?” open_toggle_background_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0)” closed_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” icon_color=”#0079ff” _builder_version=”3.14″ border_width_all=”0px” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n Yes. Chiropractic care is both safe and effective. Scientific evidence proving that chiropractic care works is overwhelming. Based on these numerous scientific studies, the consensus is that chiropractic care is the treatment of choice for most spinal problems.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Is Chiropractic treatment safe?” open_toggle_background_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0)” closed_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” icon_color=”#0079ff” _builder_version=”3.17.6″ border_width_all=”0px” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n Chiropractic is widely recognized as one of the safest drug-free, non-invasive therapies available for the treatment of musculoskeletal complaints. The risk associated with chiropractic care is smaller than that of common pain medications. According to a study in the American Journal of Gastroenterology, approximately one-third of all hospitalizations and deaths related to gastrointestinal bleeding can be attributed to the use of aspirin or NSAID painkillers like ibuprofen.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_accordion open_toggle_text_color=”#513628″ open_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” closed_toggle_text_color=”#513628″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” icon_color=”#513628″ _builder_version=”3.17.6″ toggle_text_color=”#513628″ toggle_level=”h4″ toggle_font=”|600|||||||” toggle_line_height=”1.6em” body_font=”||||||||” body_text_color=”#513628″ body_line_height=”2em” toggle_font_size_tablet=”” toggle_font_size_phone=”14px” toggle_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_css_toggle_icon=” color: #6d9a80;||” border_radii=”on|10px|10px|10px|10px” box_shadow_style=”preset1″ box_shadow_vertical=”40px” box_shadow_blur=”60px” box_shadow_color=”rgba(0,64,135,0.06)” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What type of education and training do Chiropractors have?” open=”on” _builder_version=”3.17.6″ border_width_all=”0px” border_color_all=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Our Comox Valley chiropractors are educated as primary contact health care practitioners, just like your family physician, optometrist or dentist but with a specific emphasis on musculoskeletal diagnosis and treatment. The typical chiropractor will have at least 7 years of post-secondary education, with the chiropractic curriculum comprising of 4 years of intense classroom, laboratory and clinical education.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”How is a chiropractic adjustment performed?” open_toggle_background_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0)” closed_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” icon_color=”#0079ff” _builder_version=”3.17.6″ border_width_all=”0px” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n Our Comox Valley chiropractors typically use their hands to manipulate the joints of the body, particularly the spine, in order to reduce pain, and restore or enhance joint function. Chiropractic manipulation is a highly controlled procedure that rarely causes discomfort.

A full physical examination will be performed, including nerve and muscle testing and a comprehensive spinal examination. Your chiropractor will take the time to discuss with you your diagnosis, your prognosis and your treatment plan. A treatment will usually be given, followed by home exercises.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Do insurance plans cover Chiropractic?” open_toggle_background_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0)” closed_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” icon_color=”#0079ff” _builder_version=”3.17.6″ border_width_all=”0px” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n The majority of all insured Canadian workers have some coverage for chiropractic services in their extended health care plans.
