What is chiropractic care?
Chiropractic care focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions related to the spine, muscles, joints, and nervous system. At Royal Oak Physiotherapy, our chiropractic team takes a hands-on, evidence-based approach to help reduce discomfort, improve movement, and support your body’s natural ability to heal, without surgery or medication.
Whether recovering from an injury, struggling with posture-related strain, or looking to stay active and mobile, chiropractic care can be a valuable part of your wellness plan.
