Chiropractic Care

chiropractor adjusting patients footYour brain is the primary controller of the body, and your nervous system carries impulses from the brain to every organ, tissue and cell of the body, and from the body back up to the brain to let the brain know what’s going on. When something happens to disrupt this two-way flow of communication, symptoms such as pain and dysfunction arise.

At St. James Chiropractic and Wellness Centre, our chiropractors are highly trained primary healthcare team. Our focus is on the correction of neuromusculoskeletal issues to remove the interference in the nervous system.

Your chiropractor will talk with you about your healthcare concerns, then conduct a thorough examination. This exam may include X-rays for adults. They’ll give you a brief report of their findings, and, depending on your situation, you may receive chiropractic care at your first visit.

Who We Help

Because chiropractic care focuses on the neuromusculoskeletal system, most people seek our care for issues related to the nerves, muscles and joints. Common reasons for receiving chiropractic care are back pain and neck pain. However, your entire system can function at a higher level when your nervous system is free of interference.

At our practice, we focus on paediatric care. Babies who cry all the time or are not hitting their developmental milestones may have underlying neuromusculoskeletal issues contributing to their symptoms.
