Chiropractic Care*

Toronto Weight Loss and Wellness Clinic considers pain prevention and treatment to be an essential part of healthy weight loss and uses chiropractic care as a supportive therapy. Pain not only affects the stress hormone, cortisol, leading to abdominal weight gain; it also prevents individuals from exercising at their full capacity, which is essential for healthy weight loss and maintenance.

Chiropractic care is a noninvasive, hands-on treatment approach that focuses on restoring health to the muscular, skeletal and nervous system. It emphasizes the relationship between the body’s structure and its function and is highly recognized by the medical community. Chiropractic treatments include mobilizations and manipulations, therapeutic exercise recommendations and lifestyle counselling. Studies have found chiropractic care effective for treating and managing acute and chronic pain, relieving muscle spasms and tension and reducing neurological symptoms such as numbness, tingling or weaknesses of the limb(s). Chiropractic services at Toronto Weight Loss and Wellness Clinic include gait scan analysis and custom made orthotics. Spinal decompression therapy is available for patients with herniated discs, bulging or protruding discs, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis and sciatica. Most Extended Health Insurance companies cover chiropractic treatments and visits may be partially or fully reimbursed.
