Chiropractic
What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractors are primary health care practitioners, meaning you do not need a referral to visit a Chiropractor and they can diagnose your neuromusculoskeletal condition. Chiropractors are trained in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions of the muscles, joints, bones and nerves. Treatment is hands on and often includes homecare and advice. Your Chiropractor may refer you for an x-ray or to another health care professional if he/she/they feel that your condition requires further investigation. At Bee Well integrated Health Centre, our team of professionals work toegther to offer you the best possible patient centered care.
