WHAT IS CHIROPRACTIC?

Chiropractic is a research-based, safe and conservative form of manual treatment for common muscle, joint, and nerve conditions. The main treatment technique used by our Chiropractors is Joint Manipulation, otherwise known as chiropractic adjustment. Joint Manipulation is a safe, gentle manual therapy used following an assessment of the joints and dysfunction is found. Contact Choice Health Centre today.

When a joint manipulation is performed, the joints are moved through a normal range of motion, often making a “pop” sound as the fluid within the pressure of the joint change. This technique is not only used on the spine but can be used for any joint in the body. Other treatment techniques provided by Chiropractors are often used in conjunction with Chiropractic Adjustments to get results as quick as possible, such as Active Release Techniques, Cox Spinal Decompression, Laser Therapy, Corrective Exercise, Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Therapy & Kinesiology Taping.

I found pain relief for my sciatica!

Baileigh Purcell is an amazing massage therapist! I had sciatic pain in my right side and she was able to relieve the pain with her skillful manipulation of the muscle. She truly knew what she was doing and overnight I got immediate relief from pain that was the result of a motor vehicle accident. Thank you Baileigh!!
