We encourage them to bring the others in for an assessment, so the whole family achieves better health together. Family care covers all ages, from newborns to kids to teenagers, from young adults to retirees to the elderly—we care for everyone! We can conveniently schedule family appointments, working with schedules involving work, school, sports, and other extra-curriculars.

Natural Care for All

Chiropractic care is the art and science of healing. It’s a gentle form of health care used to correct spinal misalignments, to ensure your spine and nervous system are functioning properly. As primary health care providers, we’re extensively trained to diagnose, address, and help prevent conditions and disorders related to the spine and nerve system. Problems with the alignment or function of the spine can cause interference to the function of the nerve system, creating issues in other areas of your body. At Hazeldean Family Chiropractic Clinic, we thoroughly examine your entire spine in order to find the root cause of your pain. We look for misalignments in your spine and posture, adjust and correct the problem areas, which allows the nervous system to function optimally, and for your body to perform at its best. As a result, you feel better, move better, and function better.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does chiropractic care work?
When the spine is out of alignment, it can place stress on the nervous system and surrounding muscles. Chiropractic adjustments help restore better motion and alignment, allowing the nervous system to function more efficiently so your body can move and feel its best.

What does a chiropractic adjustment feel like?

Most people are surprised by how light an adjustment feels. It’s not meant to be rough or forceful — just a precise, gentle movement designed to restore motion in a specific joint.

Why does my back or neck crack during an adjustment?

That sound is simply gas releasing from the joint — it’s not bones rubbing together. Some techniques make a sound, others don’t. The presence or absence of sound isn’t a measure of success.

Do I need X-rays before starting care?

X-rays help us clearly see the structure of your spine and any underlying issues that might not show up in a physical exam. They allow us to plan the most effective and safest approach for your care. If you’re pregnant, X-rays are postponed until after delivery.

What training do chiropractors have?

Chiropractors complete a Doctor of Chiropractic degree following a minimum of three years of undergraduate study, and they’re licensed, regulated healthcare professionals in Ontario. Continuing education keeps them current on best practices and new research.

Are chiropractors doctors?

Yes. Chiropractors hold the title of Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) and are recognized primary health care providers.

Can chiropractic help with headaches, neck pain, or sciatica?

Many people find relief through chiropractic care for conditions linked to spinal misalignments, such as headaches, migraines, neck pain, or sciatica. By improving alignment and reducing nerve irritation, adjustments may help restore better balance and comfort.

Is chiropractic safe?

Yes. When performed by a licensed chiropractor, adjustments are safe and gentle. Techniques are always adapted to your age, health, and comfort level.
Can chiropractic help with arthritis or posture?
Yes. Gentle adjustments can reduce stiffness, improve mobility, and help maintain better posture. We also provide simple at-home strategies to support your progress between visits.

Can chiropractic care help improve sleep or manage stress?

Many patients report sleeping better and feeling calmer once discomfort eases and spinal function improves. Chiropractic doesn’t “treat” stress directly, but a balanced nervous system helps your body handle daily challenges more effectively.

Is chiropractic care safe for seniors?

Absolutely. Adjustments are modified using low-force techniques to ensure complete comfort and safety.

Do chiropractors just crack your back?

No. Adjustments are precise, controlled movements based on detailed examination findings. They’re tailored to restore motion — not random “cracking.”

Will I be sore after an adjustment?

Most people feel relief right away. Occasionally, mild soreness can occur at the start of care as your body adapts, but it typically fades quickly.

Can chiropractic make things worse?

It’s very unlikely. We perform a thorough assessment before recommending care and always tailor each plan to your comfort level and goals.

Do I need a referral from my doctor?

No — chiropractors are primary health care providers, so you can book directly.
