What does our Oakville Chiropractor treat?
While a chiropractor is an expert at treating conditions related to the spine, Dr. Steve Knighton is just as qualified to treat all other joints and muscles of the body. In addition, our chiropractic team in Oakville can recognize the value and responsibility of working in cooperation with other health care practitioners when in the best interest of the patient.
Our Oakville Chiropractic practice has a strong belief in preventative care. It’s much easier to keep a healthy body functioning than it is to fix one after an injury. Regular visits to a chiropractor in Oakville help manage the regular wear and tear that our bodies experience. Visiting our clinic will keep your joints moving freely, your muscles relaxed and keep you functioning at your optimal level!
Chiropractic treatment almost always involves joint manipulation. Joint manipulation or the chiropractic adjustment is a quick and shallow thrust through a stiff and restricted joint. It is very effective at improving range of motion and reducing pain. The ‘cracking’ of a joint that people associate with chiropractor adjustments is the buildup of gas being released from stiff joints that makes a popping noise on release.
Chiropractors are extensively trained to provide safe and effective adjustments to their patients. Dr. Jenn and Dr. Steve also use a variety of other techniques in their treatments to provide there Oakville Chiropractic patients with effective and lasting results.
