Chiropractic

Chiropractic care focuses on the spine, the joints, and their relationship with the nervous system — how a body moves, how that movement is sensed, and how comfortably it functions.

Dr. Anne-Marie's perspective

Chiropractic is often described either far too narrowly (back pain) or far too broadly (a treatment for everything). Neither description is honest. It is care directed at movement, joint function, and the neurological input that movement provides.

A good chiropractor examines thoroughly, explains clearly, sets expectations, and refers out when something is outside their scope.

What's worth understanding

  • Technique should be matched to the person — an infant, a pregnant woman, and an athlete are not adjusted the same way.
  • You should always be told what is being done and why.
  • Care plans should have a purpose and a review point, not an indefinite horizon.

Common questions

What is nervous system-based chiropractic?

It describes an approach to chiropractic that frames care around how the nervous system receives and responds to information from the spine and joints, rather than focusing only on the site of pain. In practice it means assessing how the whole system is functioning and adapting, not only where it hurts.
