See FAQs About Mississauga Chiropractic Treatments

• Chiropractors use hands-on spinal manipulation and other alternative treatments, the theory being that proper alignment of the body's musculoskeletal structure, particularly the spine, will enable the body to heal itself without surgery or medication. Manipulation is used to restore mobility to joints restricted by tissue injury caused by a traumatic event, such as falling, or repetitive stress, such as sitting without proper back support.

• Chiropractic is primarily used as a pain relief alternative for muscles, joints, bones, and connective tissue, such as cartilage, ligaments, and tendons. It is sometimes used in conjunction with conventional medical treatment.

What Is Chiropractic?

• A chiropractor first takes a medical history, performs a physical examination, and may use lab tests or diagnostic imaging to determine if treatment is appropriate for your back pain.

FAQs About Mississauga Chiropractic Treatments

Will you be our doctor?

• Family care can start from the very beginning. Babies can benefit when their pregnant mothers receive chiropractic care. During this period of weight gain and hormonal changes, many mothers seek chiropractic care. They often report easier births.

• Newborns, infants and children can benefit, too. The birth process may be the cause of our first subluxation! Then, learning to walk, ride a bike or play sports can produce so-called growing pains. Ignored, these problems can worsen until they become more difficult to correct as an adult.

• Car accidents, work injuries and the stress and strains of our busy lives can produce subluxations. Periodic chiropractic checkups can be helpful. Many patients report more energy, vitality and better overall health.

• Seniors enjoying an active retirement stop by our office, too. Safe and natural chiropractic care makes sense. They can see how the structure of the spine can affect the nervous system and how their body works.

• Regardless of your age or condition, a better working spine and nervous system is good for your health. Share your chiropractic experience with others by starting with those you love.

Why do newborns get chiropractic adjustments?

• Even today's "natural" childbirth methods can affect an infant's spine. Preliminary studies suggest that colic, unusual crying, poor appetite, ear infections or erratic sleeping habits can be signs of spinal distress. Relax. Newborns adjustments are gentle. As a rule, no more pressure than you'd used to test the ripeness of a tomato is involved.

How long do chiropractors go to school?

• Chiropractors complete seven years university-level education.

• Chiropractic students undergo a rigorous course of study similar to that of other health care professionals. Entrance requirements are also similar. Students are required to complete a minimum of three years of university before they are eligible for admission to study as a chiropractor.

• Approximately 90 per cent of students entering the CMCC program have completed a baccalaureate or graduate degree. The CMCC program requires four years of full-time study, including a 12-month internship in the College’s clinics. In Quebec, the UQTR has a five-year program following graduation from CÉGEP.
