Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of injuries do chiropractors treat?
Chiropractors specialize in the treatment of neuromusculoskeletal conditions (conditions that involve the nerves, muscles, and skeletal system). Whether you present with an issue that involves your head/neck or with your toe, there is a very good chance that Chiropractic can help. Different common issues that we treat at Enhanced Health & Wellness include: sciatica, postural syndromes, headaches, back pain, TMJ, rotator cuff injuries, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, patellofemoral pain, numbness and tingling, and much more.
What are the lengths of treatments?
- Initial visits with the Chiropractor are scheduled for 30 mins while follow up visits are typically 15 mins depending on the type of treatment.
- One of the comments we hear the most is “I thought it would go away”. Typically, the longer the condition is bothering you, the more treatments it will require to resolve. This is important to understand when you are considering your health while being restricted from doing the things you want to do.
- The best way to determine how many visits it will take for your condition is to schedule a consultation/examination to get a custom treatment plan to reach your goals.
- Depending on the condition, the amount of visits required and timeline of treatments vary. A common guideline is: Acute injuries (new injuries) take less visits to resolve when treated sooner rather than later. Many acute injuries can be efficiently managed and/or resolved in as little as 6 to 7 visits Chronic injuries (greater than 3 months) and recurring conditions generally take more visits to correct the proper structures and tissues. This may take 12 visits or more to fully resolve/manage.
Treatments are typically not painful and many will experience immediate relief. Patients suffering from moderate to severe pain associated with injury may experience some discomfort. Treatment is always done with care, is safe, and non-invasive.

If you are experiencing pain in your neck, back, or limbs that affect your activities of daily living, then you should consult a Chiropractor. If you have difficulties sleeping, have less range of motion than usual, experience pain with certain movements, or are unable to do the things you want to do because of pain or restriction, a Chiropractor can help you get back to what you want to do. There are many reasons to seek chiropractic care: work, accidents, sports injuries, household chores, even the stress of daily living can cause painful joint and spinal problems.
After taking a patient’s case history and conduction a physical examination, x-rays may help with coming up with an accurate diagnosis and determine the type of care taken. However, not everyone will need x-rays as they are not always necessary in order to treat a condition. Governments in every province have recognized the training and competence of chiropractors to take and interpret x-rays and have granted them this right.
The choice to continue chiropractic care is always up to you. Pain is typically the main reason people seek out a chiropractor, however, chiropractic treatment often helps people reach an improved state of health. Often times many people live with mild to moderate pain on a daily basis for weeks, months, and even years! When they reach this level of chronic pain, their minds believe this is ‘normal’ and they almost forget what it feels like to not feel some sort of aches or pains daily. After seeing a chiropractor, most people won’t feel that daily pain anymore and it reminds them that living without aches and pains is actually what’s normal. From there, many people use chiropractic ‘maintenance care’ to function at a better state of health and to not live with pain again. The amount of treatments varies from person to person depending on different lifestyle factors such as exercise, stress reduction, posture, and nutrition (to name a few).
