Why Chiropractic?
What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is one of the largest primary contact health care professions in Canada, with over 7,000 practicing chiropractors treating approximately four and a half million Canadians annually with drug free, non-invasive, hands-on care. Chiropractors assess disorders related to the spine, nervous system, and joints of the extremities and provide a diagnosis and treatment of these disorders. The primary goal of chiropractic manipulation, also referred to as adjustment, is to treat areas of decreased movement in the joints, thereby reducing pain and increasing joint function and improve overall health.
Who are Chiropractors?
Chiropractors are primary contact health care professionals who are recognized by statute in all Canadian provinces and American states. The Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC) is a world renowned leader in chiropractic education and research. The Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) program has an intensive four year curriculum of academic and clinical education. During the fourth year of the program, students obtain their clinical experience as interns at one of CMCC’s several teaching clinics, which are located throughout the greater Toronto area.
