Chiropractic Therapy
What is Chiropractic Therapy?
Chiropractic therapy is a holistic treatment that focuses on diagnosing and managing musculoskeletal disorders, particularly those affecting the spine. By using hands-on spinal manipulation and other techniques, it aims to improve alignment, reduce pain, and enhance mobility. The benefits include pain relief, improved posture, better flexibility, and support for overall well-being.
At Vitals Health, our licensed chiropractors work with clients of all ages to relieve back pain, neck stiffness, headaches, joint discomfort, and other spine-related issues using evidence-based techniques and personalized care.
Is Chiropractic Therapy What you Need?
If you're dealing with back or neck pain, poor posture, joint stiffness, or nerve-related symptoms, chiropractic care could be the right solution for you. At Vitals Health, our licensed chiropractors take a whole-body approach to healing—helping you move better, feel stronger, and live without pain.
Chiropractic care is safe, drug-free, and effective for managing both acute and chronic conditions. Each session begins with a detailed assessment to uncover the root cause of your discomfort, followed by hands-on treatments designed to restore alignment and improve function.
Common Chiropractic Techniques We Use:
-
Spinal Adjustments (Manipulations) – Gentle, controlled movements to realign the spine, relieve pressure, and restore mobility.
-
Joint Mobilization – Passive, low-force techniques to improve range of motion and reduce joint restrictions.

01
Is Chiropractic Therapy Safe?
Chiropractors in Ontario are regulated health professionals licensed by the College of Chiropractors of Ontario (CCO). At Vitals Health, your safety and comfort are our top priorities. We take the time to explain your treatment options and ensure you feel confident every step of the way.
02
Do I Need a Referral?
No referral is needed to book a chiropractic appointment at Vitals Health. Many extended health plans cover chiropractic care—check your provider for details. We can also assist with direct billing if your plan allows it.
03
Does a Chiropractic Adjustment Hurt?
Most chiropractic adjustments are not painful. You may feel a small amount of pressure or hear a “cracking” or “popping” sound, which is simply gas releasing from the joint—similar to cracking your knuckles. Many patients report feeling immediate relief or increased mobility after an adjustment. If you’re nervous, let your chiropractor know—they can use gentler techniques tailored to your comfort level.
04
How Many Visits Will I Need?
The number of visits depends on your condition, how long you've had it, and your personal goals. Some clients feel significant relief after just 1–2 sessions, while others with chronic or complex conditions may need ongoing care. At Vitals Health, your chiropractor will recommend a personalized treatment plan and reassess your progress regularly to ensure you’re on track.
What to expect during your initial consultation
Detailed Health History Review
Your first chiropractic appointment at Vitals Health starts with a comprehensive consultation. We'll take the time to understand your symptoms, daily activities, and medical history. This in-depth conversation helps your chiropractor identify the cause of your pain or dysfunction and determine if chiropractic care is the right fit for your needs.
Chiropractic Assessment
Next, your chiropractor will perform a hands-on chiropractic assessment, which may include tests for posture, spinal alignment, joint mobility, muscle tension, and nerve function. These findings guide the diagnosis and help pinpoint areas of dysfunction contributing to back pain, neck pain, or other concerns.
Personalized Chiropractic Treatment Plan
If appropriate, your chiropractor may provide your first chiropractic adjustment or soft tissue therapy during the same visit. You’ll also receive a customized treatment plan outlining your care schedule, home exercises, and long-term goals—whether it’s pain relief, improved mobility, or postural correction.
