Your St. Catharines Chiropractic Specialists
What is Chiropractic Care?
Chiropractic care is a drug-free, hands-on approach to diagnosing, treating, and preventing neuromusculoskeletal conditions, including back and neck pain, joint pain, headaches, sports injuries, and more. By using various techniques, chiropractors work to restore motion and function to the joints, muscles, and nervous system.
Chiropractors are highly trained professionals who conduct thorough examinations to diagnose musculoskeletal issues and create personalized treatment plans. In addition to manual adjustments, they provide rehabilitative exercises, lifestyle counseling, and guidance on nutrition and diet to promote overall health and well-being.
At Dalhousie Health and Wellness in St. Catharines, our chiropractors have a special interest in prenatal care, the Webster technique, and pediatric care. Our team combines expert chiropractic techniques to provide a holistic, drug-free treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
