What Is Chiropractic?
Doctors of chiropractic diagnose, treat and help prevent musculoskeletal (bones, muscles, cartilage, tendons, joints and connective tissues) conditions and the effect they have on the nervous system.
They do not prescribe drugs or perform surgery — however, they may make a referral to medical specialists for such treatment when appropriate. They also counsel patients regarding nutrition, lifestyle and exercise.
Our chiropractors in South Calgary are primary health care practitioners, which means a referral from your family doctor is not necessary for you to receive treatment. They complete at least seven years of accredited post-secondary education and participate in supervised clinical training during their last year of schooling.
The chiropractor Calgary at Active Back to Health are highly skilled and can help you with any number of issues, including:
- Optimizing spinal health
- Managing a workplace injury or other personal injury (involving a motor vehicle accident claim or otherwise)
- Muscle or joint pain
How Did Chiropractic Start?
Chiropractic care has a rich history, dating back over a hundred years. In 1895, Dr. Daniel David Palmer was the first person to deliver a chiropractic adjustment. Since that time, chiropractic has continued to grow and evolve.
Dr. Palmer founded the Palmer School of Chiropractic. This is where students first learned about chiropractic techniques and how to apply them. This institute also became the leading facility in research and studies regarding chiropractic care. There are now numerous chiropractic schools worldwide, all contributing to the continued growth and evolution of safe and effective chiropractic techniques.
Today, chiropractic is a primary intervention when it comes to eliminating pain — specifically in the spine and musculoskeletal system. Globally, millions of people benefit from chiropractic care. At Active Back to Health, we would love to become your local Calgary chiropractic clinic, helping you gain all the advantages that chiropractic care has to offer.
We would love to meet you.
