CHIROPRACTIC SERVICES IN AURORA + MARKHAM
Proactive health management is the cornerstone of a vibrant life!
Chiropractic care is more than just a response to pain; it's a holistic approach to well-being that emphasizes prevention and maintenance of optimal health. By harnessing the body’s innate ability to adapt and heal itself, and by promoting proper spinal joint function, chiropractic care offers a powerful means of preventative healthcare to enhance your overall quality of life.
One of the fundamental principles of chiropractic care is the belief that a properly functioning spine is integral to overall health. The spine serves as the central conduit for the nervous system, which controls and coordinates every function within the body. By ensuring proper motion of spinal joints, and thus maintaining optimal function of the spine, chiropractic care supports the nervous system in operating at its best, fostering an improved pain experience, enhanced mobility, and a proactive defence against common injuries and conditions.
Our goal is to speed up healing and to help clients find their way back to action as quickly as possible.
Chiropractic Care is offered by Dr. AJ Husain in our Aurora and Markham clinics.

Chiropractic Treatments
We offer a wide variety of chiropractic treatments. Here is a list of common treatments that may be offered at our Markham + Aurora clinics.
- Spinal Adjustment (Spinal Manipulation): This is the most well-known chiropractic technique. It involves manually adjusting restricted vertebrae in the spine with a quick, targeted low amplitude thrust to improve spinal function and relieve pain.
- Spinal Mobilization: A gentler technique compared to spinal adjustments, involving low-velocity, controlled movements to increase joint flexibility.
- Soft Tissue Therapy: Chiropractors may use techniques like massage, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy to address soft tissue issues and relieve muscle tension.
- Physical Rehabilitation: Chiropractors may provide exercises and stretches to improve strength, flexibility, and range of motion, especially for patients recovering from injuries.
- Posture Correction: Chiropractors can offer guidance on improving posture, which can help alleviate chronic pain and prevent future issues.
- Nutritional Counseling: Some chiropractors provide advice on nutrition and dietary changes to support overall health and healing.
- Lifestyle and Ergonomic Advice: Chiropractors often provide recommendations on ergonomics, such as how to set up a workspace to prevent strain and injury.
- Diagnostic Testing: Chiropractors may use X-rays, MRI, or other diagnostic tools to assess the condition of the spine, identify presence of structural changes, degeneration, or other lesions that may be contributing to your symptoms.
- Pain Management: Chiropractors can help manage pain from conditions like lower back pain, neck pain, and headaches.
- Wellness and Preventative Care: Chiropractors may offer ongoing care to maintain spinal health, even if the patient is not experiencing acute pain.
- Sports Injury Rehabilitation: Chiropractors often work with athletes to address and prevent sports-related injuries.
- Pediatric Chiropractic Care: Some chiropractors specialize in treating children, focusing on issues related to growth and development.
- Geriatric Chiropractic Care: Specialized care for elderly patients to address age-related musculoskeletal issues.
- Extremity Adjustments: In addition to the spine, chiropractors can adjust joints in the arms and legs to improve mobility and reduce pain.
