Enhancing Life. Excelling In Care.
Chiropractors are spine care experts, currently positioned as a leader in the management of joint, muscles and nerve-related conditions.
Having a healthy spine and nervous system is important for everyday function and performance of our body. Chiropractors provide adjustments (precise and highly skilled hands-on movements) to correct the spine. This restores proper joint motion, assists tissues to heal and reduces pain. Receiving regular care for the spine with chiropractic treatment is beneficial.
Receive complete care with our chiropractor who is extensively trained to assess, diagnose, treat and suggest injury prevention strategies to manage your condition. Treatment to restore function and relieve pain include adjustments, mobilization, chiropractic massage, exercise prescription and education. Our chiropractor is also able to request x-rays and ultrasound or refer to a specialist if deemed necessary. Evidence-based, patient-centered and individualized care.
Chiropactor – Dr. Bachorick
PAIN CHANGES EVERYTHING. CHIROPRACTIC CARE CHANGES PAIN.
- Dr. Bachorick has a special interest in treating acute and chronic back pain.
- Common conditions include: Migraines/headaches, whiplash, neck pain, back pain, TMJ dysfunction, shoulder pain, tennis elbow, pinched nerves, sciatica, discogenic pain, hip pain, knee pain and achilles tendinitis
- The Research – Landmark articles:
-
- In 1979, the New Zealand Commission recommended that there be government funding for chiropractic services. “Modern chiropractic is soundly-based and valuable branch of health care specialized in an area neglected by the medical profession”.
- In 1990, a randomized control trial by Meade et. al. concluded that “chiropractic treatment was more effective than hospital outpatient management [medication and physiotherapy], mainly for patients with chronic or severe back pain.”
- In 1993, Manga et. al. reported that “[o]n the evidence, particularly the most scientifically valid clinical studies, spinal manipulation applied by chiropractors is shown to be more effective than alternative treatments for low back pain. Many medical therapies [muscle relaxants, NSAIDs, opioids, injections and surgery] are of questionable validity or are clearly inadequate”. The “reading of the literature suggests that chiropractic manipulation is safer than medical management of low back pain. There is an overwhelming body of evidence indicating that chiropractic management of low-back pain is more cost-effective than medical management”.
- In 2010, Bishop et. al. conducted a randomized control trial on the effectiveness of clinical practice guidelines in the medical and chiropractic management of patients with acute mechanical low back pain. The results demonstrated a 2700% greater improvement at 16 week follow up for the participant group that received a maximum of 4 weeks of chiropractic care at 2-3 times per week in contrast to the participant group that received a full 16 weeks of NSAIDs and opioids, physiotherapy, massage therapy or care from a kinesiologist.
- In 2017, Paige et. al. produced a systematic review studying the effectiveness of spinal manipulative therapy for acute (≤ 6 weeks) low back pain. The results demonstrated that spinal manipulative therapy was associated with high to moderate improvements in pain and function in patients with acute low back pain at up to 6 weeks follow up.
