Relief Care
Our first goal is to relieve your symptoms as quickly as possible. The severity of your condition will determine the length of this phase. Typically, the number of visits in this phase is frequent and can involve multiple visits to the centre each week.
Rehabilitative / strengthen and corrective phase
During this phase of care, the goal is to remove the root cause of your problem and to restore optimal function. This phase of care is also dependent upon the severity of the problem. The frequency of care can still be multiple visits per week, but unlikely to be as frequent as the relief phase of care.
Wellness Care
Once your body has had the chance to heal, we believe it is important to continue with care by having periodic checkups to help prevent future problems and to enable your body to continue to function at its most optimal level. Your lifestyle, health goals, and practitioner’s advice will determine the frequency of care that is right for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
The spine protects the nervous system, and every part of your body has a nerve supply. This means a nerve that becomes irritated in your back can lead to pain or dysfunction elsewhere (and anywhere!).
Chiropractic aims to ensure that your spine is moving like a well-oiled machine, allowing your nervous system to function at its most optimal. Areas that are found to be stuck or dysfunctional are adjusted by the Chiropractor to enable them to move freely again and to restore normal function.

Chiropractic as a profession began in the late 19th century, with the development of various forms of manual therapy in the United States. The founder of Chiropractic, D.D. Palmer, is credited with developing the first Chiropractic adjustment in 1895 in Davenport, Iowa. Palmer believed that misalignments in the spine could cause various health problems by interfering with the body’s nervous system, and that by correcting these misalignments through spinal adjustments, health could be restored.
Palmer’s son, B.J. Palmer, continued to develop and promote Chiropractic throughout the early 20th century, and the profession grew in popularity over time. Today, Chiropractic is a regulated healthcare profession in many countries around the world, and Chiropractors are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions using a variety of manual techniques.
