Chiropractic Techniques We Use
Our chiropractor in Burlington uses safe and proven methods, which will be explained before the treatment takes place.
Chiropractic Adjustment
This is the most common technique used by our chiropractor. It involves applying controlled force to a specific joint in your body, typically the spine, to improve its function and alleviate pain.
Active Release Therapy
Also known as ART, this technique uses manual therapy to address muscle adhesions and scar tissue that can cause pain and discomfort.
Manual Therapy
This technique is performed by hand, where our chiropractor controls movement and muscle tension for pain relief and increased mobility.
Soft Tissue Treatment/Myofascial Release
This technique targets the soft tissues, including muscles, tendons, and ligaments, for pain relief and promotes healing.
Rehabilitative Exercise Program Design
Our chiropractor may prescribe specific exercises to help you regain strength and mobility after an injury or improve your overall physical performance.

A strong core is essential for overall health and wellness. Our chiropractor may incorporate core strengthening exercises to help with pain relief and prevent future injuries.

How safe is chiropractic treatment?
Very safe. A chiropractic adjustment, spinal manipulation, manual therapy or soft tissue release are techniques used by registered chiropractors with thousands of hours of practice and training. If you have any concerns, ask our chiropractor in Burlington about any risks associated with the specific chiropractic treatment you are receiving.
How often do I need to continue to see a chiropractor?
It will depend on your initial assessment and how well you’re doing after treatments. Note that it’s not necessary to see a chiropractor a few times a week if your condition does not require it. At Pillars of Wellness (Health and Wellness Centre), we offer an integrated care approach to help our customers recover faster through a variety of modalities and services that can aid recovery. For example, you may find it beneficial to work with both our chiropractor and physiotherapist to determine a treatment plan. Talk to our staff at our front desk for more information. Feel free to read our page on our website about integrated care as well.
Am I covered by Health Insurance?
Most of the time, health insurance will cover this service. However, it’s always best to check first. Many of our patients are covered for chiropractic and can be treated in our health centre in Burlington.
Can I benefit if I am pregnant?
Absolutely! Chiropractic care is an excellent drug-free alternative to relieve back pain, neck pain or other sports injuries. In addition, studies show that pregnant women who take chiropractic treatment decrease their labour time and require less pain control medication. We are also considered a family chiropractic clinic.
Can children be treated?
Yes, they can. Our chiropractor is experienced in treating children. You won’t find too many family chiropractic clinics in Burlington. Most chiropractors treat adults for lower back pain or neck pain. They do not usually practice pediatric chiropractic care.
