Chiropractic
Chiropractors at Pivot focus on how the body’s muscular, skeletal and nervous systems are functioning. They specialize in treating all regions of the body for injury management and individual performance enhancement.
Pivot chiropractors will perform a thorough initial exam to determine the cause of your pain and any biomechanical faults which may be the underlying cause of the injury. Once a diagnosis has been established, the treatment plan will be tailored to address the patient’s specific condition.
In order to do this, the doctors may use gentle manipulations of the spine to improve range of motion and flexibility. Soft-tissue techniques (primarily ART® – Active Release Technique), therapeutic modalities or medical acupuncture may be employed to facilitate healing, breakdown scar tissue and to restore optimal function. Once the initial symptoms have resolved, a rehabilitation program may be prescribed to correct muscle imbalances, restore proper biomechanics and to help prevent re-injury.
What to expect on your first visit
You and the chiropractor will go through a thorough health history and physical examination in order to establish a diagnosis and the cause of your pain. A customized treatment plan will be presented to you and the doctor will address any questions you may have. Once the treatment options have been discussed and your diagnosis explained to you, treatment will begin on the initial visit.
Treatment
The treatment plan will be tailored to your specific condition and needs. Our chiropractors take a functional approach to treatment, ensuring the biomechanical cause of the injury is addressed, not just the site of injury. Your treatment may consist of soft tissue therapy, exercise prescription, acupuncture, joint mobilization/manipulation and therapeutic modalities.
Payment for Chiropractic treatments
Chiropractic treatment is not covered by OHIP. However most extended health insurance plans provide partial or full coverage for the service. Please consult with your insurance provider to determine your coverage. Your medical receipts may also be applied to your tax return.
