Chiropractic care focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions affecting the spine, joints, muscles, and nervous system. At MyoDynamic Health, our chiropractors use evidence-based, hands-on treatment techniques that may include spinal adjustments, joint mobilization, soft tissue therapy, and personalized exercise recommendations to help reduce pain, improve mobility, and support overall function. Whether you are dealing with back pain, neck pain, headaches, postural strain, or joint discomfort, care is tailored to your needs. Visit one of our clinics in Barrie, Newmarket, or Innisfil.
Our chiropractic services are designed to help you move better, feel stronger, and return to daily activities with greater comfort. We focus on identifying the underlying cause of pain and dysfunction so treatment supports both short-term relief and long-term recovery. From acute injuries to chronic tension and mobility restrictions, our goal is to help you improve your quality of life through personalized one-on-one care.
While musculoskeletal alignment is the primary reason for chiropractic care, it can branch out further, benefiting the functioning of other systems. Overall, chiropractors aim to prevent disease, strengthen your immunity and increase your mobility.
Just a few conditions a chiropractor can treat include:
Headaches: Correct spinal alignment can open blood flow to the brain, eliminating the pressure that causes headaches.
Back pain: A chiropractor can target and manually correct the cause of your back pain along the spine.
Sciatica: Chiropractic care is a non-invasive treatment for sciatica pain, correcting any malalignments that may be causing impingement or pressure on the sciatic nerve.
Herniated disc: Chiropractors are also trained in muscle strengthening to help support surrounding muscles that aid in the rehabilitation of disc herniations. It can help manage its pain.
Spinal decompression: Chiropractors open up spinal disc space to reduce pressure and help relieve back pain.
Whiplash: Neck stability exercises and manipulation techniques help restore your neck joints' normal movement.
Chiropractic Care Sessions
MyoDynamic Health offers quality chiropractic care performed by our team of experts. At your first appointment, you will meet with us to begin an assessment. This evaluation will examine your current condition and what you expect to get from treatments — such as a mobility goal for sports or a health goal for fewer headaches.
Each session after the assessment will work toward reaching your goals. These sessions will take little time as your chiropractor realigns your spine or joints. You may hear popping or cracking sounds as this happens, but this is entirely normal. This gas release is called “cavitation.” Patients can often feel the pressure changes in the joints and report a pleasant, relaxing feeling.
Following your first treatment session, it is common to feel slightly sore in the affected areas. You can experience pain relief and overall improved health as you maintain proper posture.
Chiropractic is a very safe, and non-invasive therapy for the treatment of many conditions. This being said, any form of treatment has risks to consider. Spinal manipulation can on occasion cause an aggravation of symptoms. Other more rare occasions a patient may experience things such as dizziness, bruising, radiating pain, or increased pain. If these adverse events occur, they are usually minor, and do not last for long. If you have any questions or concerns about a treatment, let Dr. Morgan know and she can give you an in-person explanation.
Is Chiropractic care safe?
Yes! Chiropractic adjustment is safe when it's performed by someone trained and licensed to deliver chiropractic care.
Chiropractic is widely recognized as one of the safest drug-free, non-invasive therapies available for the treatment of neuromusculoskeletal complaints. Although chiropractic has an excellent safety record, no health treatment is completely free of potential adverse effects. The risks associated with chiropractic, however, are very small. Many patients feel immediate relief following chiropractic treatment, but some may experience mild soreness, stiffness or aching, just as they do after some forms of exercise. Current research shows that minor discomfort or soreness following spinal manipulation typically fades within 24 hours.
What is an adjustment?
A chiropractic adjustment (also known as spinal manipulation) is a high velocity, low amplitude manoeuvre, which is applied to a patient’s body by the chiropractor. The goal of manipulation is to reduce pain, improve mobility of the joint, and decrease stiffness.
What is chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a medical profession that uses manual techniques to assess, diagnose, and treat conditions relating to the spine, joints, muscles, and nerves of the body.
What is the “cracking” or “popping” sound during an adjustment?
The cracking sound you may here during spinal manipulation is simply gas bubbles popping inside of the joint being adjusted. As the gas escapes you hear the audible noise many describe as a ‘crack’.
What to expect at my visits?
First visit (initial Assessment): The length will be 1 hour, and will include a thorough history and physical. Please arrive 15 minutes early to complete any intake forms, and wear/bring shorts, t-shirt, and your normal shoes. After your examination, the Chiropractor will discuss their findings, diagnosis, and treatment plan with you. At this point if you consent to your treatment plan, most patients receive treatments on their first visits, time permitting.
Subsequent visits: Each subsequent visit is 20 minutes in length, and will simply follow your treatment plan, as set out during your initial assessment by the Chiropractor.
Who are chiropractors?
Chiropractors are primary health care providers. They are doctors of chiropractic who have 3-4 years of undergraduate education, followed by 4 years of graduate education at an accredited chiropractic college. They use a multitude of techniques and approaches, all of which are holistic in nature, and try and improve patient’s health and well being.
Will an adjustment hurt?
Adjustments rarely are painful or uncomfortable for patients. Many times patients express immediate relief after a manipulation, and feel better leaving a treatment than when they came in.
