Chiropractic treatment is safe, usually painless and has minimal side effects. It helps to restore proper nerve function and muscle firing so the body is able to perform at its optimal level. Doctors of Chiropractic are often perceived as "back doctors". Although this perception is not entirely incorrect, it is very much incomplete. Doctors of chiropractic are a highly appropriate resource in matters of work-place safety, stress management, injury prevention, postural correction and nutritional counselling. Hence they also play an important role in preventative and wellness care. The initial examination takes 1 hour (which generally includes a first treatment) and treatments thereafter take 15 minutes.
