What Chiropractors Do

Practically speaking, chiropractors are primarily concerned with locating and treating vertebral subluxations.

A vertebral subluxation is a complex of functional and/or structural and/or pathological articular (joint) changes that compromise neural integrity and may influence organ system function and general health.

Using a number of unique and highly refined skills, the chiropractor checks the patient’s spine for any misalignments, fixations or other abnormalities (vertebral subluxations). If subluxations or other abnormalities are detected, the chiropractor will generally apply a gentle force in a corrective manner, called an adjustment, to the affected spinal area

Chiropractors use many specialized techniques to identify and treat these spinal abnormalities and optimize overall health. In addition to spinal adjustive techniques, soft tissue techniques such as massage, dietary and nutritional counseling, physical therapies, and lifestyle modification programs are commonly employed.

New Mask Policy for Massage
On the advice of the Massage Therapy Association of Saskatchewan (MTAS) and Natural Health Practitioners of Canada (NHPC), Foundation Chiropractic is adopting a clinic policy that all massage therapists and massage clients must wear medical/procedure/surgical masks from a medical device distributor that is approved by Health Canada
(https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/drugs-health-products/covid19-industry/medical-devices/authorized/other.html).
Since massage therapists and their clients come into close contact for a prolonged period it is not possible to maintain the recommended two meters of physical distance during treatments. Since we are working in such close quarters, we are doing everything we can to ensure the safety and health of ourselves and our clients. We ask for your help by wearing only approved medical masks to your appointment.
If cloth masks must be used, they should have at least three layers and fit well. Neck gaiter/cuff/bandana style face coverings will NOT be allowed in the clinic.
Starting Monday March 22, 2021 if you do not have a suitable mask with you when you arrive for your appointment, you will be required to purchase one from the clinic for $1.
We thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we adapt our policies to create the safest possible environment for your staff and clients.
