Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic is a non-invasive, drug-free, proven form of natural medicine focused on restoring the neuro-musculoskeletal system to its optimal function, which in turn restores the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Doctors of Chiropractic use effective hands-on techniques to treat and prevent disorders related to the spine, pelvis, nervous system and joints. Chiropractic treatments rely on traditional techniques and innovations of modern science, making chiropractic an internationally recognized form of healthcare that is covered by most private insurance. Our King West Chiropractors obtain a doctorate degree after a minimum of seven years of training and clinical experience in providing symptomatic relief for patients suffering from injuries and chronic conditions.

SOME COMMON CONDITIONS TREATED BY OUR CHIROPRACTORS:

Lower Back Pain
Back pain can be caused by muscle strains, joint restrictions or disc injuries.

Headaches
Help reduce the intensity and recurrence of tension headaches and migraines.

Postural pains or “syndromes”
Office workers stuck in one position for 10+ hours a day who complain of neck pain and shoulder pain and stiffness. These are common conditions that can be addressed with exercise, ergonomics, and education by your chiropractor.

Sports injuries
Very common and often occur in the hip, knee and/or ankle.

WHAT MAKES OUR CHIROPRACTORS DIFFERENT?

Our King Street Chiropractors are uniquely dual licensed as Acupuncturists, Massage therapists, and Athletic therapists – making them the most diverse and specialized chiropractors in Toronto! Our Chiropractors are trained to treat sports-related and non-sports related pain and dysfunction as well as provide relief from chronic conditions like sciatica and osteoarthritis. At Integra Health Centre, our skilled chiropractors diagnose issues by assessing patients to isolate the source(s) of pain and identify systemic underlying causes. Our Toronto Chiropractors are able to interact with our in-house family physicians as well as learn from and co-manage patients with the variety of healthcare practitioners we have here at Integra such as our dietitians, chiropractors, naturopaths and more to provide an enhanced treatment plan.
