Chiropractic is the largest natural health care profession in the world. The science and philosophy of chiropractic has evolved from the belief that your body is a self healing organism controlled by the nervous system.
Everything (circulation, breathing, elimination, hormones, etc.) is under the direction of this system. If the impulses of the nervous system are transmitted to and from the brain without interference, the body will be at its optimal state and better able to fight off physical, chemical and emotional stresses. When a vertebra in your spine becomes restricted in its movement and/or misaligned (commonly called a subluxation) it can cause nerve interference.
A doctor of Chiropractic, utilizes his/her hands to adjust subluxations, allowing the body to express its optimal health potential. Research has shown that Chiropractic care is effective in the treatment of back pain, neck pain, headaches, migraines, numbness or tingling in the arms or legs, painful joints, shoulders, hips, jaw problems, fatigue and stress, to name a few. Current research is demonstrating the effectiveness of chiropractic and children with conditions such as chronic ear aches, asthma, bedwetting, colic, and growing pains.

Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine
Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine are based on a 5000 year old practice of balancing the flow of Chi (energy) in the meridian pathways of the body.
Originating in the Orient, it has spread to worldwide use as a comprehensive system of healing. It uses a unique combination of diagnostic techniques and treatment methods that incorporates acupuncture, ancient Chinese botanical formulas and traditional Chinese dietary changes to achieve the highest state of health and wellness.
According to TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), disease results when energy flow is excessive or deficient. Precise stimulation of acupuncture points helps regulate the flow of energy (Qi, Chi) to re-establish normal function. Research has shown that acupuncture is very effective to control pain and to reduce inflammation.
Primo Chiropractic and Wellness Centre provides needle acupuncture, acupressure, laser acupuncture, EMI (electro meridian imaging) and cupping.

An orthotic is a supportive device which is placed inside footwear to change the mechanical function of the foot.
It works dynamically during weight bearing activities like walking, running and standing. Faulty foot mechanics can lead to bunions, plantar fascitis, knee pain and low back pain. Regular use of orthotics can restore normal function and allows your body to realign and heal itself.
Primo Chiropractic and Wellness Centre is the only provider of Sole Supports custom orthotics in Vaughan. Sole Supports offers the only true custom molded orthotic device that solves all of the problems of previous attempts at biomechanical correction.
