Chiropractor Clinic in Scarborough and Vaughan
What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is the largest alternative medicine in North America, and growing fast. The origins of chiropractic date back to the ancient Greeks. By adjusting spinal bones, proper function can be restored in the spine. This is the basis of chiropractic philosophy.
Chiropractic has been shown to be affordable and effective for conditions such as headaches, and lower back, and neck pain. Chiropractic treatments can also be applied to other joints of the body. Chiropractors are trained professionals with a minimum of seven years of post-secondary education.
Our doctors at Simply Align Rehab are members of the Ontario Chiropractic Association (www.chiropractic.on.ca), and the College of Chiropractors of Ontario (www.cco.on.ca).
What does a Chiropractor do?
Chiropractors or doctors of chiropractic are specifically trained to detect and correct problems in the spine, even before the patient becomes aware of their existence. They adopt a manual approach. Chiropractors are involved in the diagnosis, treatment, and preventive care for disorders related to the nervous system, the spine, the pelvis, and the joints.
They use a combination of treatments, based on the specific needs of the individual patient. They take a complete history, diagnose a patient, and then implement a comprehensive treatment plan.
Chiropractors can recommend therapeutic exercise and other non-invasive therapies. They can also give nutritional, dietary, and lifestyle counselling.

Benefits of Chiropractic Treatment
Chiropractic differs from other health care disciplines as the focus is not on superficial symptoms but on their underlying cause. You do not need to have a specific complaint to benefit from a visit. Chiropractors also focus on ongoing preventive and wellness care. Chiropractic care is effective for people of all ages, from infants to the elderly.

FAQs about Chiropractic Treatment
What can I expect if I see a chiropractor?
On your first visit, your chiropractor will take a detailed history to know your individual health goals, what problems you are currently experiencing, and whether chiropractic care is appropriate for your specific condition. This is followed by a detailed physical examination that is tailored by the chiropractor to help determine the underlying causes of your particular complaints. After the chiropractor has evaluated his findings, he or she will give you a detailed report so that you completely understand your diagnosis and the treatment options that exist. This process may take place through a second separate appointment and may be followed by your first treatment when clinically indicated. The duration of the first visit is typically 30-45 minutes with subsequent treatment visits lasting 15-20 minutes.
Is chiropractic treatment covered by health care providers?
Chiropractic care can be reimbursed or directly billed by Private Insurance and Motor Vehicle Insurance. No referral is necessary to see a chiropractor.
How safe is chiropractic treatment?
Chiropractic treatment is extremely safe when compared to most other forms of healthcare, particularly treatments consisting of drugs or surgery. If you have any concerns, just ask your chiropractor about any risks associated with the specific treatments you are receiving.
How much education does a chiropractor have?
Chiropractors in Canada have an undergraduate degree and 4 years at an accredited chiropractic college. The duration of their training is the same as that of a medical doctor. However, their focus is on the biomechanical, rather than the biochemical. Additionally, in Canada, chiropractors are required to pass rigorous national licensing examinations and complete continuing education hours annually.
What is the popping sound during a chiropractic treatment session?
The chiropractic adjustments made during chiropractic treatment are high velocity, low amplitude mobilizations of spinal or other joints in very specific directions. Although it sounds intimidating, they are extremely safe and comfortable when performed by a properly trained chiropractor. The adjustment usually causes an increase in volume in the joint and is the desired effect. The resulting drop in pressure inside the joint causes a gas bubble to appear. The popping sound associated with the chiropractic adjustment or what can be heard when someone ‘cracks’ their knuckles is called ‘Cavitation’.
What are the phases of chiropractic care?
Since symptoms are often relieved within the first few treatments, many patients work to restore the function of their spine and joints to prevent re-injury. Patients require multiple treatments at a specific frequency over a recommended period of time to properly restore function. Patients whose goals are met at this stage will often cease care. Patients who seek chiropractic care for their wellness aspect, tend to have repetitive behaviors, habits, poor postures, or anatomical anomalies (e.g., scoliosis) and chiropractic care helps them maintain a higher state of function. Patients can also be educated on strategies to promote independence. Our team of chiropractors in Scarborough is available to guide patients about the right pathway to healthy living.
Once I visit a chiropractor, do I have to keep consulting him/her?
No, every patient’s needs are unique. Hence, the number and duration of chiropractic treatment and care required vary for each patient. Each patient’s treatment plan is individualized based on the symptoms, functional impairments, and activity restrictions and is focused on their individual goals.
