What is Chiropractic Care?
Chiropractic care is a non-invasive, hands-on health care discipline. It focuses on the body’s structure, mainly the vertebrae and nerves. Chiropractors practice a manual, hands on approach, providing diagnoses and preventative care for disorders related to the spine, pelvis, nervous system, and joints. A chiropractor performs a chiropractic adjustment to help with the realignment of the spinal vertebrae to reduce pressure on the surrounding nerves, muscles, and ligaments to relieve pain, improve bodily functions, and help the body heal itself.
While chiropractic care is primarily concerned with spinal adjustments, other joints in the body can also be treated such as the knees and ankles. Chiropractic care can also involve other forms of therapies such as trigger point therapy, pain management modalities, postural education, ergonomic training, and exercise therapy.

Chiropractic care focuses on the alignment of the spine and the body’s overall structure. You might be surprised by the fact that chiropractic care may improve everything from athletic performance to pregnancy discomfort, and even help manage chronic pain. True Life Wellness and Physiotherapy is proud to offer individualized treatment plans that help patients in all aspects of their lives.
Chiropractic care has a lot of benefits, especially when compared to pain medication or surgery. Obtaining chiropractic care comes with the following benefits:
Improve Athletic Performance
If you’re an athlete at any level, you know how frustrating pain, injury, and other body limitations can be. Chiropractic care can improve your performance in any sport.
Natural Recovery
The body is designed to heal itself, but sometimes the healing mechanisms need a little push. Through chiropractic care, your body can heal itself allowing you to enjoy life comfortably again. Natural recovery is better overall because it puts the body through less stress which is beneficial in the long run.
Better Posture
We often find ourselves hunched over a computer or slouching on the couch. We’re all guilty of it! Chiropractic care can improve your posture which will have a lasting effect on your body.
Decreased Pain
Perhaps one of the most common reasons people seek chiropractic care is to reduce pain. The spine is essentially the center of your body. If your spine isn’t working properly, the rest of your body will suffer too. By decreasing spinal nerve interference, the rest of the body will experience less pain. Decreased pain impacts other aspects of your life other than your general well being. Less pain means you’ll be less irritable, have better quality sleep, improved thought processes, less stress, and increased energy.
Headache Management
For those that suffer from headaches or migraines, you might find that chiropractic care is a great solution. While it doesn’t work for everyone who suffers from headaches, it helps many people and it might help you too.
Adjust to Pregnancy Changes
If you’re an expecting mother, chiropractic care can help your body adjust and cope with the wonderful process of childbirth. A protruding abdomen can cause your spine to curve more than usual which often causes discomfort. Your pelvis will also change to prepare for childbirth. Chiropractic care can help your body adjust to all the changes you’re experiencing.
Benefits for Children and Teens
Children and teens are still growing, meaning it’s important that their bones, muscles, and nerves are in good shape. Due to the amount of activity our kids are involved in today from gymnastics to soccer, injuries are inevitable from occurring. Chiropractic care is a great treatment option to help our young athletes recover from the injuries and continue to perform at an optimal level.
We are currently accepting new patients who need chiropractic care as well as patients who require other treatment services such as physiotherapy, massage therapy, psychological counseling, orthotics, acupuncture and much more. Contact us for more information.
Many ailments in the body can be either directly or indirectly related to misalignment of the spine and its large network of interconnected parts such as nerves, muscles, tendons, discs, bones, joints and the nervous system.
Chiropractic care is primarily focused on improving spinal health to address several other related conditions within the body. To do this , a chiropractor will use several types of treatment interventions including:
Ergonomic, postural and spinal education and training
Shockwave therapy
Cold laser therapy
Orthotics
Lifestyle modification and education
