RENEW HEALTH

Chiropractors are primary contact health professionals that diagnose and treat musculoskeletal conditions, these are conditions associated with muscles, joints, bones and nervous system. Chiropractors are known for their expertise in spinal conditions but they focus and treat conditions of the entire body. For more information visit Canadian Chiropractic Association

No, you do not need a doctor's referral to see a chiropractor. Occasionally insurance plans may require a doctor’s referral for coverage, but this is quite rare. We still recommend checking with your insurance provider prior to your appointment to check available coverage and requirements.

During your first visit, the chiropractor will do a full history and physical exam. The history portion of your exam involves asking a series of questions regarding your primary complaint as well as your overall health status. The physical exam consists of tests, movements and palpation (hands on assessment) to determine what the problem is. After the exam is complete the chiropractor will provide a diagnosis (or possible diagnoses) and outline what treatments can be offered both at Renew Health or beyond. Once a treatment plan is established treatment typically happens on the first visit and you are on your way to recovery!

Renew Chiropractors have many tools in their tool belt. Regardless of the type of treatment that is recommended to you, the goal is to get to the root cause of the injury and fix it for good. Most treatments include a multi-modal approach to patient care including a combination of the following: - Spinal and extremity joint manipulation - Soft tissue therapy/release - Acupuncture/dry needling - Exercise prescription or in-clinic exercise program - Education on how to manage your condition - Collaboration with other health professionals to optimize care
