Frequently Asked Questions About Mississauga Chiropractic Techniques

Chiropractors primarily use manipulation ("adjustment") of the spine as a treatment. Such treatments trace back to ancient China, Greece and Egypt.  It gained popularity in the late 19th century, with the development of osteopathic and chiropractic medicine in North America

There are many different chiropractic techniques. Some doctors of chiropractic perform joint manipulation with their hands only, while others use various instruments. Additionally, some chiropractors treat using quick but firm manipulation, while others have a lighter touch.

Here are some of the Chiropractic Treatment Frequently Asked Questions to give you an idea about Mississauga chiropractor services at MyHealth

Is chiropractic a regulated profession?

Chiropractic is regulated by provincial statute in all provinces. Chiropractors along with medical doctors, dentists, psychologists, and optometrists have the legislated right and obligation to communicate a diagnosis and to use the title doctor.

Each province has a regulatory college established by legislation in the same manner, and with the same structure and similar regulations, as the regulatory bodies for other health care professions.

• The regulatory colleges are responsible for protecting the public, standards of practice, disciplinary issues, quality assurance and maintenance of competency.

• Legislative bodies across Canada, as well as researchers and governments around the world have conducted extensive reviews of the chiropractic profession and have consistently endorsed chiropractic services.

Does chiropractic treatment require a referral from a MD?

• No. A patient does not have to be referred. Chiropractors are legislated as primary contact health care professionals in every province in Canada. This means that patients can consult them directly. However, chiropractors often work closely with MDs, 44 per cent of whom refer their patients to chiropractors when they believe chiropractic treatment will help alleviate a patient’s condition.

• Similarly, chiropractors frequently refer to medical doctors when necessary.

How many treatments will I need?

• That depends on the duration, severity and nature of your complaint. Some patients find relief after a single treatment for an acute condition while others may require five to fifteen treatments. Some chronic or degenerative conditions may require up to three to six months of treatment.
