Chiropractic is a healthcare profession that focuses on disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system, and the effects of these disorders on general health. Chiropractic services are used most often to treat neuromusculoskeletal complaints, including but not limited to back pain, neck pain, pain in the joints of the arms or legs, and headaches.
Here at Zenith Physiotherapy and Wellness, we embrace the knowledge that chiropractic care isn’t just about making the pain disappear. Chiropractic care is about understanding and learning the cause of pain to improve your overall quality of life. We work diligently to make sure that our services are of the best quality. We focus on educating our patients about the chiropractic care that they are about to receive. We believe in providing natural solutions with every diagnosis, so you can restore and maintain your own personal level of health.
You might be wondering what you should expect from chiropractic. Everyone has various needs depending on the state of their bodies and the amount of pain they are in. There is no such thing as a cookie-cutter approach to health since one treatment plan can not work the same way for one person as it does for another.
Our Chiropractor will work with you closely to assess your mobility, balance, range of motion, and pain intensity. Your physical objectives, as well as any health risks that might be holding you back, will be considered when developing your treatment plan.
Once our Chiropractor understands your needs, they will begin developing a personalized treatment plan to help relieve your pain and achieve your goals!
You’ll start with a detailed history and examination, which may include posture, range-of-motion, and orthopedic/neurologic tests. Then your chiropractor will explain findings and recommend a personalized plan that may include adjustments, soft-tissue therapy, and exercises.
Most adjustments are gentle and well tolerated. You may feel brief pressure or a “pop” from gas releasing in the joint. Some people experience mild soreness for a day—similar to starting a new workout—which typically resolves quickly.
Frequency depends on your condition, how long you’ve had it, and your activity level. Many patients notice improvement within a few visits. Your Airdrie chiropractic care plan will outline expected timelines, home exercises, and reassessment points.
Chiropractic is considered safe for most people when performed by a licensed chiropractor. Your clinician will review your health history and modify techniques as needed. If imaging or a medical referral is appropriate, they’ll discuss that with you.
Many extended health plans cover chiropractic services (often with direct billing options). Coverage varies by provider, so check your benefits. Our Airdrie clinic team can provide receipts and help you navigate claims.
