Chiropractic care is one of Ontario’s most heavily regulated manual-therapy professions. A Doctor of Chiropractic completes eight years of undergraduate and doctoral training plus provincial and national licensure before practising. Treatment is evidence-based: we assess, diagnose, deliver care, and reassess.

What chiropractic looks like at Prime Health Care

• Spinal adjustment (manipulation). A controlled, low-amplitude thrust that restores motion to a restricted joint. Used for mechanical neck and back pain, headache, and post-MVA stiffness.
• Mobilisation and soft-tissue work. Lower-force alternatives for patients who prefer it or whose presentation calls for it.
• Post-MVA chiropractic. A common component of whiplash and soft-tissue rehab; co-delivered with physiotherapy and massage in our shared chart.
• Rehabilitation exercise. Prescribed and progressed by your chiropractor — the part that prevents the problem from coming back.
• Headache and TMJ care. Cervicogenic headache, tension-type headache, and jaw dysfunction.

What to expect on your first visit

A Doctor of Chiropractic will spend 30–45 minutes with you. Expect a structured history, a physical exam (orthopaedic, neurological, motion-palpation), and a working diagnosis. We explain what we found and what we recommend before any treatment is delivered. If your case is not a good fit for chiropractic — for example, an injury that needs imaging or surgery first — we will tell you and refer you appropriately.
