Chiropractic Care

What is chiropractic care/treatment?

Chiropractic care (or chiropractic treatment) is a form of manual, hands-on, drug free treatment that helps your body restore joint mobility, release muscle tension, and improve overall well-being.

Chiropractors are experts in the spine, muscle, joint and nervous system. That means unlike common belief, a chiropractor doesn't just deal with the back and spine, but can manipulate most joints, treating conditions anywhere in the body that affect the nervous system and musculoskeletal system.

At Axon Chiropractic and Rehab, our clinic director and award-winning chiropractor (Winner of Best Chiropractor North York in 2022 & 2023), Dr. Perrin Yiu performs all chiropractic treatments.

How do I prepare for my first chiropractic treatment?

Before you arrive, you will be asked to complete an online patient intake forms, which includes a short questionnaire of your health history. If you prefer to fill in these forms in-person, please arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment time. It is recommended that you wear or bring comfortable clothing.

What should I expect at my initial chiropractic assessment and treatment?

There will be a comprehensive assessment of your condition/concern. It includes a detailed history and physical examination as well as a report of findings to the patient to outline his or her treatment plan.

At the end of each chiropractic initial consultation, there will always be treatment provided to the patient. A combination of muscle release therapy, joint mobilizations and/or adjustments, and exercise prescription will be provided.

If needed, acupuncture, cupping, and/or instrument assisted soft tissue therapy is also used depending on the patient's condition/diagnosis. Chiropractic adjustments may not always be included in the treatment plan depending on the patient's preferences and/or diagnosis.

Are chiropractic adjustments safe?

Yes, chiropractors are health professionals that are experts in dealing with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the skeletal, muscle, and nervous system.

An adjustment (or manipulation) is a quick, small thrust to a joint of the body with the intention of providing pain relief and improved mobility. Moreover, chiropractic adjustments are only performed after a thorough health history and physical assessment have been conducted.

What's the cracking sound?

To clarify, chiropractors don't ever "crack" anything, they adjust, using low-force movements to release joint tension.

The "cracking/popping" sound you hear is a release of air from the joint space as the joints move ever so slightly from the adjustment. Under normal circumstances, there is no pain and should feel an immediate release of joint pressure/relief from stiffness!
