What is chiropractic care?
Chiropractic care is a recognized health profession focused on the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. Chiropractors are educated and trained to diagnose, treat, and prevent disorders of the spine, pelvis, nervous system, and joints. We use hands-on manual adjustments to optimize your musculoskeletal structure, return proper function, reduce pain, and improve mobility. Chiropractic is evidence-based providing non-invasive, hands-on health care treatments as a regulated health profession.
How can chiropractic treatment help me?
Chiropractors address problems caused by improper spine alignment and movement. Chiropractic both relieves symptoms while also preventing them from becoming chronic. While back pain is quite common and can come and go, if pain continues to develop, becomes chronic, or worsens, your chiropractor provides treatment to heal tissue, restore proper function, reduce pain and improve your level of mobility. Although most people associate chiropractic care with the back, your chiropractor can assist with issues of the entire nervous and musculoskeletal systems.
From headaches to carpal tunnel syndrome, and from plantar fasciitis to sciatica, chiropractors can diagnose the issue and provide an interdisciplinary treatment plan. Our chiropractors work in tandem with other health care professionals at Saffron including massage therapists, and physiotherapists. Our Physiotherapists are also able to provide acupuncture services. Chiropractic treatment is based on “adjustments” using precise movements applied to the vertebrae of the spine to correct joint motion and restore proper movement and function. However, your chiropractor will assess your condition and then provide a personalized treatment plan. This can include different therapies, as well as different therapists. This interdisciplinary approach ensures you receive the specific treatments that will see the best outcomes.
What is an Interdisciplinary Treatment Plan?
Interdisciplinary chiropractic treatment plans combine treatments from different medical disciplines or specialties. This approach ensures you receive the focused care you require to meet the specific needs of your condition. At Saffron Health Centre we use a proven strategy surrounding the formulation of patient-centred treatment services ensuring you have a unique plan of action. We pride ourselves on providing the best services possible, striving to make sure each patient reaches their healthcare goals.
Careful planning ensures all aspects of your health are addressed and that treatment goals are set. As a result, the right method is applied to greatly improve outcomes. At Saffron, we offer an interdisciplinary team integrating multiple healthcare disciplines in a collaborative environment where your input is also important. Our approach ensures you receive the best possible care to improve body wellbeing.
What to Expect at Your First Appointment
At your first appointment, you will meet our staff and receive a one-on-one assessment with your chiropractor. They will discuss your medical history and review any other medical information available. We ask that you bring any relevant medical records, as well as a list of past and current treatments for your condition and all medications you are using. Your chiropractor will ask questions based on the information you provide and then perform an examination. You will also be able to ask questions and provide further information about the level of pain you experience, how often, and what type of movement or activity triggers pain. Your chiropractor will evaluate function for the areas of concern so be sure to wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. Once your assessment is complete, we will discuss your treatment plan, answer further questions you might have, and arrange your next appointment(s).
What treatments does chiropractic care include?
Based on your condition, your treatment might include but is not limited to the following:
- Chiropractic adjustment
- Soft tissue therapy
- Taping
- Acupuncture – Provided by our Chiropractor
- Home exercises
Each patient receives a personalized comprehensive treatment/management plan. Each plan can include other recommended areas of care such as nutritional, dietary, and lifestyle counselling designed to improve your habits and overall wellness.
How long does chiropractic sessions take?
Our goal is to provide a treatment plan that helps provide quick recovery and pain relief. However, how long you require chiropractic care and how much time it takes to see results varies greatly on several factors including your age, physical abilities, the extent of damage, the seriousness of the condition, and your commitment to treatment. The more committed you are to your treatment the higher the chance is you will see improvements sooner. In some cases, you might even experience relief following your first appointment, while for others it will be a far slower process. The goal is to provide treatment plans most likely to provide significant, long-lasting results and the quickest possible outcomes.
