Overview
Chiropractors in Ontario assess and manage conditions within the regulated scope of chiropractic practice. Care commonly focuses on musculoskeletal concerns involving the spine, other joints and associated tissues.
A chiropractor should begin with an appropriate history and assessment, explain the clinical findings, discuss reasonable options and obtain informed consent. Treatment recommendations and visit frequency should reflect the individual’s presentation rather than a predetermined program.
