Chiropractic is a primary-contact healthcare profession in BC that focuses on the neuro-musculoskeletal systems of the body.
It is a hands-on, non-invasive, drug-free practice that diagnoses, treats and prevents a variety of neural and musculoskeletal conditions, with the main goal of optimize body’s movements and joints’ mobility, through a combination of manual adjustments and soft tissue release.
Chiropractic Care is a regulated profession, overseen by The College of Chiropractors of British Columbia. A licensed Doctor of Chiropractor is trained to perform chiropractic adjustments safely.
Is Chiropractic Care recommended for me?
