Chiropractic is a form of healthcare based on the study of the nervous system and its role in sustaining health. Its primary concern is interference to the nervous system, and normal healthy function. The nervous system consists of your brain, spinal cord, spinal and peripheral nerves, and all nerves leading into every system, organ, tissue and cell of your body. Your nervous system is so important that it monitors your changing needs and controls and coordinates responses necessary for proper adaptation, learning and development.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Chiropractic treatment safe?

Yes. Chiropractic is widely recognized as one of the safest drug-free, non-invasive therapies available for the treatment of muscle and joint complaints. Although Chiropractic treatment has an excellent safety record, no health treatment is completely free of potential adverse effects. The risks associated with care from an Toronto Chiropractor, however, are very small. Many patients feel immediate relief following Chiropractic treatment.

How Should I Feel After An Adjustment?

After an adjustment you may experience a feeling of deepening peace and relaxation. This relaxed feeling may last for the rest of the day or the week and may lead to deep refreshing sleep. 

Others may find that the problems that they came to the chiropractor for have begun to lessen and there are some people who feel no difference after an adjustment. That does not necessarily mean that they are not benefiting from their adjustments, it just means that they're not feeling any external reaction.

A small minority may feel discomfort or muscle soreness, or some other uncomfortable feeling; their body is letting them know that it is being challenged to change.

How long will my condition take to get better with Chiropractic Care?

Every case is different; however, Chiropractic patients typically notice an improvement after the first few treatments. Your Chiropractor will assess progress and review the treatment plan during every patient visit.

What techniques do the doctors use to adjust practice members?

The doctors use a variety of traditional and gentle based technques. We mainly use a gentle based technique called Torque Release Technique.

- Non-manipulative: The emphasis is in communicating new corrective information through gentle touch or a light thrust by a hand held instrument.
- After each adjustment, the body is given time to process the corrective input.
- Corrections don't stop when you get off the table, but continue with your body's movements and breathing.
- This process teaches and empowers your body to make more corrections and healing with ongoing care.
- Because analysis and correction are not just limited to the area of pain and symptom, integration tends to be more complete and healing experiences are deeper in all areas of the body, mind, and emotions.

The primary intent of this work is to progressively reduce blockages and tension in the entire spinal system, to release trapped unresolved patterns in the body/mind, and to facilitate reintegration of the nervous system, allowing a greater expression of one's healing and performance capabilities. 
The Doctors in this office also utilize a number of other techniques which are appropriate for infants, children, seniors and pregnant moms. Whichever the method, all techniques will be discussed with practice members prior to their commencement of care.

Is Chiropractic treatment ongoing?

Following the initial exam, the Chiropractor will inform the patient of the extent of treatment recommended and how long it can be expected to last. The goal of the Chiropractor is to resolve pain, restore function, and reduce incidences of recurrence.

Do insurance plans cover Toronto Chiropractic Health?

Yes. The majority of Toronto workers have partial or full coverage for Chiropractic through their workplace health plans. OHIP does not cover these services. The chiropractic patient is provided with a detailed itemized receipt listing the services provided, the credentials of the Chiropractor, as well as payment details for reimbursement.

How do I play an active role in my health care?

One of the most crucial parts of a successful chiropractic treatment plan is what the patient does outside of the clinic. That is why exercise rehabilitation is a key element of treatment by a Chiropractor at AC99.
