Mississauga Chiropractic Treatments – Frequently Asked

Questions

Yes, children may benefit from chiropractic care. Children are very physically active and experience many types of falls and blows from activities of daily living as well as from participating in sports. Injuries such as these may cause many symptoms including back and neck pain, stiffness, soreness or discomfort. Chiropractic care is always adapted to the individual patient. It is a highly skilled treatment, and in the case of children, very gentle.

Is chiropractic treatment

appropriate for children?

Relax. Newborns adjustments are gentle. As a rule, no more pressure than you'd used to test

the ripeness of a tomato is involved.

Parents mistakenly think that their child will receive adjustments like the ones they

receive. 

Adjusting techniques are modified for each person's size and unique spinal problem, and an infant's spine rarely has the long-standing muscle tightness seen in adults.While there is some clinical evidence that musculoskeletal treatment of infants may

have positive effects, well-controlled studies are required to verify the benefits that are

seen in clinical practice.

One of the Task Force studies is focused specifically on the safety of neck adjustment. This is one example of the ongoing research that will ensure that care is provided as effectively and safely as possible.

Chiropractic adjustment or manipulation is a drug-free, non-invasive approach to common musculoskeletal conditions such as headache, neck and back pain. As such, it is a low risk therapy. Complications arising from adjustment are rare.

Is chiropractic treatment safe?

Symptoms are the last thing to show up, and they’re the first thing to leave. Yet, muscles and ligaments supporting the spine complete their healing after symptoms subside.

We warn all our patients about this common recurrence so they know they’ll be welcomed back if this should happen.

What happens once you feel

better?

Chiropractic treatment can help restore function, relieve pain and get you back in the swing of your daily activities.

Chiropractors believe wellness is the state where your body is free of interruption or interference to any part of your nerves, enabling you full expression and enjoyment of life.

The word has become a catch phrase that means different things to people. For example, how well you feel is not a dependable indicator of your actual health.
