what is Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractic Care is a Drug-free treatment to help eliminate your pain: Chiropractic derived from the Greek, meaning
“Treatment by Hand”.

From headaches and migraines to back and neck pain. Shoulder, knee, joints, pain from pregnancy and recovery from accidents, we’re here to help!

Where is your pain?

  • MID-BACK PAIN

    Mid Back pain could be Discogenic, which ranges from dull and achy to sharp with numbness or tingling into the legs or feet. There may be tight muscles involved and all movements cause more pain.  Whether your pain is from an accident, posture, a medical or skeletal condition – we can help.

  • NECK PAIN

    Neck pain is a common complaint. Neck muscles can be strained from poor posture — whether it’s leaning over your computer or hunching over your workbench. Osteoarthritis also is a common cause of neck pain.

    Neck pain can also be a symptom of a more serious problem.  Our practitioners can help evaluate and treat your specific need.

  • SHOULDER PAIN

    Shoulder pain can start with an injury, or even more commonly it begins gradually over a period of weeks to months or even years. It is often seen in patients who perform repetitive or overhead activities and becomes more common with aging. In some cases, shoulder pain can start for what seems like no reason at all.

  • LOWER-BACK PAIN

    Lower back pain could be sciatic, characterized as a stabbing pain or weakness originating in your lower back and shooting down your leg.  It could be Piriformis Syndrome which is usually local pain in your buttock region; usually the muscles there are very tight and tender. Mechanical Low Back Pain is described as pain originating from the small joints in your spine; there is often inflammation involved.  Let our team find out what is the root cause of your issue.

  • KNEE PAIN

    Hallmarks of knee pain often come from Osteoarthritis and symptoms include Discomfort and Stiffness. Osteoarthritis often occurs with age, dysfunctional joint, and overuse of that joint. Decreasing inflammation is critical in the successful treatment of this condition.  We also see many clients for impact or stress injuries.

    We can help your knee feel better.

    Ankle pain refers to any kind of pain or discomfort affecting any part of the ankle. Ankle pain can happen for many reasons. The most common causes include injury, arthritis and normal wear and tear. Depending on the cause, your treatment with us will, of course, vary.   We can make you feel better!

You don’t have to live with pain.

Dr. Jacquelyn Nicholls, DC

I discovered chiropractic after my own dance injury. At the time, I was at York University; a Double Major in Bachelor Fine Arts in Dance and Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology. We would dance approximately 6- 8 hours a day; depending on your course load. I suffered a severe knee injury in class that was misdiagnosed and due to the length of time of the injury; it becomes more complicated and chronic, eventually involving my whole right leg and low back;

FAQS

  • How does a chiropractor work?

    Chiropractic gives proper attention to your spine.

    Your spine and your brain give function to the rest of our body – if they are not in order, then the rest of your body is completely affected.

    Your spine has a very important function in your body. Not only does it support your body’s weight, but it also protects your spinal cord, which is the “central highway” of your nervous system. Our ability to walk, run, jump, lift, and feel almost every sensation below our neck requires a healthy spine. Chiropractic treatment works by helping to restore your body’s own ability to be healthy. It can actually open the doors for better sensory perception, less pain, a clearer mind, and better mobility.

  • What is an adjustment?

    Chiropractic joint manipulation, also known as an “adjustment”, is a treatment where the chiropractor uses his or her hands to apply a very quick, precise, and safe amount of pressure directly on the problem area of your spine.

    This pressure momentarily separates the joints, allowing a gas bubble to escape (this is the popping sound or cracking noise you may have heard about). This relieves the pressure on the joint and surrounding nerves, allowing your spine to return to its proper position. The adjustment is not painful and often provides immediate relief. It’s a simple treatment that works.

    Back pain is still the number one reason people see their family doctors. Treat your pain without the use of drugs, for a better, healthier life.

  • What is interferential current & electrotherapies?

    Electrotherapy is a form of medical treatment, which uses small electrical impulses to repair tissue, stimulate muscles, and increase sensation and muscle strength.

    The benefits of electrotherapy are wide-ranging and include a more advanced healing process, a more effective circulatory system, and increased muscle tone. The effects of electrotherapy include a reduction in pain, increased strength, increased range of movement, increased speed and strength of muscle contractions, and an increased rate of absorption.

    Interferential Current and Electrotherapies are added to Chiropractic or Physiotherapy appointments as required to maximize treatment of your pain.

At Adelaide Clinic, our chiropractors treat patients of all ages: Children, teens, young adults, adults, & elderly clients.
