About Chiropractic Care

Evidence-based chiropractic care is centered around optimizing the movement and function of spinal segments and joints within your body. Our skilled chiropractors employ specialized techniques to identify areas that may not be moving optimally. By reintegrating this mobility and function, we strive to alleviate discomfort, enhance range of motion, and improve your overall physical wellness.


Committed to evidence-based practices, we ensure that our treatments are firmly grounded in the latest scientific research. Working collaboratively with you, we meticulously craft each aspect of your treatment plan to align with your unique needs and aspirations. Through this partnership and well-informed decision-making, we are dedicated to guiding you on a personalized journey towards greater mobility and improved function. Our goal is to get you to move better, so you can feel better!

  • How Does Chiropractic Care Work?

    Chiropractic care, rooted in evidence-based principles, operates by focusing on the optimization of spinal and joint mobility to enhance overall function and well-being. At The MVMT Clinic St. Thomas, our approach centers on the following key aspects:


    1. Assessment and Diagnosis: Our skilled chiropractors begin with a thorough assessment to identify areas of restricted movement or dysfunction within the spinal segments and joints. This process involves a combination of clinical evaluation, patient history, and potentially diagnostic imaging to gain a comprehensive understanding of your unique condition.


    2. Targeted Interventions: Based on the assessment, our chiropractors utilize a range of evidence-backed techniques to address the identified mobility issues. These interventions may include manual adjustments, mobilizations, soft tissue therapies, and exercises designed to promote joint movement and enhance muscular function.


    3. Individualized Treatment Plans: We craft personalized treatment plans that are tailored to your specific needs, goals, and preferences. These plans integrate the latest research findings, clinical expertise, and your input to create a comprehensive approach that aims to optimize function and mobility.


    4. Progress Monitoring: Throughout the course of your treatment, we continuously monitor your progress using evidence-based outcome measures. This helps us objectively track improvements in mobility, pain levels, and overall well-being, enabling us to make informed adjustments to your treatment plan as needed.


    5. Patient Education: We empower you with knowledge about your condition and the rationale behind the chosen interventions. By understanding the evidence-based principles guiding your care, you become an active participant in your journey towards improved function and mobility.

  • What Conditions Can Chiropractic Care Help?

    Chiropractic care can help with a wide range of conditions. These include back pain, neck pain, pain in the joints of the arms or legs, and headaches. 


    Chiropractors can also treat health conditions such as sciatica, Upper and Lower limb Pain (Tennis Elbow, Carpal Tunnel, Knee and Hip Osteoarthritis, Ankle Sprains) and symptoms caused by other injuries. We can help to manage symptoms of chronic conditions like arthritis, and can also provide care for patients with personal injuries, sports injuries, and those who have been involved in motor vehicle accidents.

  • Types of Chiropractic Treatment

    There are several types of chiropractic treatments available, depending on the specific needs of the patient. 


    These include spinal manipulation, also known as a chiropractic adjustment, where the chiropractor uses their hands or a device to apply a controlled force to a joint of the spine. 


    Other treatments include soft tissue therapy, where the chiropractor works to relax tight muscles, relieve spasm and release tension in the fascia. Chiropractors may also use exercises to help improve overall health. 


    They may also incorporate other therapies such as heat and ice, electrical stimulation, relaxation techniques, rehabilitative and general exercise  and other lifestyle factors.

Benefits of Chiropractic Care

Experience the difference with evidence-based chiropractic care at The MVMT Clinic St. Thomas. Our personalized approach enhances mobility, reduces discomfort, and promotes overall well-being, empowering you to thrive.

  • Pain Relief

    One of the most significant benefits of chiropractic care is its ability to provide effective pain relief. Unlike traditional pain management techniques that often focus on masking symptoms, chiropractic care seeks to address the root cause of the pain. 


    This holistic approach can provide long-term relief from various types of pain, including back pain, neck pain, headaches, and joint pain. Whether the pain is due to an injury, a chronic condition, or daily wear and tear, chiropractic adjustments can help alleviate discomfort and enhance your quality of life.

  • Improved Mobility

    Chiropractic care can significantly improve mobility and flexibility. Regular chiropractic adjustments can help loosen tight muscles and joints, increase your range of motion, and reduce stiffness and discomfort. 


    This is particularly beneficial for individuals suffering from conditions like arthritis or injuries that restrict movement. By improving mobility, chiropractic care can help you regain your freedom of movement, allowing you to participate in activities you enjoy and lead an active lifestyle.

  • Better Posture

    Regular chiropractic adjustments can help correct misalignments and imbalances in the spine, leading to improved posture. Poor posture can lead to a host of health issues, including back pain, neck pain, and headaches. 


    It can also affect your appearance and self-confidence. Through targeted chiropractic treatments, you can improve your posture, prevent future health issues, and feel more confident in your daily life.

  • Stress Relief

    Stress can take a toll on your body, leading to a range of health issues. Chiropractic care can help manage stress by improving the functioning of the nervous system. Chiropractic adjustments can help balance the body, reduce tension, and promote relaxation. This can lead to improved mood, better sleep, and an overall sense of well-being. By managing stress effectively, you can enjoy a more balanced and fulfilling life.

  • Preventative Care

    Regular chiropractic care is an excellent preventative healthcare strategy. By maintaining optimal spinal health, you can prevent the onset of certain conditions, reduce the risk of injuries, and promote overall wellness. 


    Chiropractic care can help identify and correct minor misalignments before they become major issues, keeping you healthier in the long run. It's a proactive approach to health that can save you time, money, and discomfort in the future.
