Chiropractic

If you need a skilled chiropractor in Ottawa, Kanata or Stittsville Dynamic Physiotherapy and Chiropractic offers a range of chiropractic, physiotherapy, and health service techniques to address musculoskeletal and other health concerns.

Whether you’re an athlete striving for peak performance, recovering from an injury, or managing a recent or chronic condition, you’ll receive top care and attention at our inter-disciplinary health clinic.

A chiropractor specializes in assessing the functionality of the skeletal and nervous systems. Given that the spine serves as the central hub for the nervous system, chiropractors undergo extensive training to employ various diagnostic techniques to examine and address issues within the bones, joints and muscles. 

Our chiropractors possess the expertise to alleviate pain, discomfort, or restricted mobility in the back, arms, legs, neck, or any other body area. By identifying the source of joint and muscle discomfort, our chiropractors administer adjustments to restore proper spinal function. Additionally, they may provide acupuncture/needling, suggest lifestyle modifications, dietary changes, postural adjustments, and specific stretches and exercises to facilitate optimal function and mobility.

Chiropractors offer many health benefits that apply to nearly everyone, regardless of any specific condition or injury. Maintaining the body’s optimal condition can be a preventive measure against potential conditions or injuries.

Injury and Illness: Regular chiropractic treatment proves beneficial for individuals experiencing pain resulting from injuries, illness or conditions like arthritis. Chiropractic care enhances a patient’s health by promoting proper neural feedback, muscle flexibility, improved joint function, and skeletal alignment.

Sports Injuries: Athletes frequently encounter sports-related injuries due to repetitive movements and high-impact stressors. Chiropractic treatment aids in maintaining suppleness and flexibility in the body and enhancing neuro-muscular communication, thereby mitigating the effects of rigorous physical activity.

Pregnancy: Pregnancy can strain the back, particularly during the later stages. Pre and postnatal chiropractic care ensures optimal posture and spinal alignment, offering support to the lower back amidst the physical changes experienced during pregnancy.

Pre- or Post-operative Rehabilitation: Before surgery, chiropractors can help optimize spinal alignment and joint mobility, potentially improving surgical outcomes. Following surgery, chiropractic treatments can reduce pain, enhance healing, and help restore proper function to the affected areas, contributing to a smoother recovery process.

General Health: Regular chiropractic care promotes overall health and well-being and reduces the risk of developing future problems. This proactive approach to healthcare empowers individuals to take charge of their well-being and enjoy a higher quality of life.

Our chiropractors in Kanata and Stittsville welcome individuals from diverse backgrounds who seek to enhance their quality of life through evidence-informed chiropractic and health therapies.

Frequently encountered conditions that may benefit from chiropractic treatment include:

1. Back Pain and Neck Pain: Our experienced chiropractors have extensive training in treating spinal pain, particularly in the lower back and neck resulting from everyday injuries or traumatic incidents. We offer gentle spinal manipulation or mobilizations, acupuncture, stretching and strengthening exercises, and lifestyle guidance to manage these conditions naturally.
   
2. Headaches and Migraines: Consider exploring chiropractic care if you’re experiencing frequent headaches or migraines. Many different types of headaches stem from chronic neck stiffness and muscle tightness. Chiropractic care can reduce how severe and frequent these episodes are without resorting to medication through safe, noninvasive methods.
3. Sciatica: Sciatic nerve pain radiating from the lower back down to the feet often results from disc injuries such as a herniation. Chiropractic care helps to regain proper spinal function, alleviating pressure on the nerve and facilitating the body’s natural healing process.
4. Concussions: Many of our chiropractors are certified Complete Concussion Management Providers. In addition to concussion specific rehabilitation focused on returning you to your desired activities, our chiropractors provide treatment that complement this recovery process by addressing neck and spine injuries often associated with the initial trauma. Spinal adjustments can relieve muscle aches or headaches, and aid the body’s healing mechanisms.
5. Pinched Nerves and Herniated Disks: Chiropractic care is a safe and noninvasive approach to treating bulged or herniated discs and pinched nerves, easing pain and restoring spinal health.
6. Fibromyalgia: Chiropractic care offers practical and gentle relief for those with fibromyalgia, addressing pain and enhancing mobility within the musculoskeletal system.
   

Other conditions that would benefit from chiropractic care include body stiffness, sprains and strains, tendonitis, muscle imbalances, rotator cuff injuries, neuropathies, migraines, plantar fasciitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, frozen shoulder, and many more.

While some medical conditions require pharmaceuticals or surgery, it may surprise many to learn that numerous conditions do not. 

Unlike medical treatments that typically involve adding substances to the body, chiropractic wellness addresses the root cause by removing elements contributing to symptoms. For example, instead of solely relying on painkillers for headaches, our approach involves creating flexibility in the spine and joints, particularly in the neck and shoulders, which can alleviate nerve and muscular irritation and potentially cure headaches originating from underlying issues. 

At Dynamic Physiotherapy and Chiropractic in Kanata, your visit begins with a personalized consultation with your chiropractor. During this one-on-one session, you’ll discuss your primary concern, along with your health history, occupational and lifestyle stressors, activity level, and other relevant factors affecting your current condition.

Our chiropractors in Kanata and Stittsville use their hands along with orthopaedic testing to provide diagnosis, treatment, and preventive care for many disorders related to the spine, pelvis, nervous system, and joints. This hands-on treatment is used to address imbalances, pain, and dysfunction anywhere in the body. Our treatment plans are built for your specific situation to quickly and safely return you to your desired lifestyle.

Our Kanata chiropractors offer a variety of therapy options to support your recovery, including manipulation, exercise programs, acupuncture, dry needling, orthotics, soft tissue therapy and other non-invasive options. We are also qualified to provide supplemental, dietary and lifestyle advice that can make all the difference as part of an overall recovery plan. Our care can be the primary aspect of your treatment, or it can be combined with several other healthcare services, such as physiotherapy, massage, acupuncture and co-treating with your family physician.

We work directly with you to educate you about your specific injury and to help you avoid similar pain or dysfunction in the future. At the end of the day, your practitioner will help you work towards your goals and a healthier lifestyle.
