Common Myths About Chiropractic

oakbaychiro.ca Even after more than a century of results, myths still abound. Here are the more common and the truth that millions of chiropractic patients can confirm.

[03/22/20]   TEMPORARY OFFICE CLOSURE

Effective Monday March 23, 2020, our provincial association has recommended that all Chiropractic offices in the province temporarily close until further notice. We regret that we cannot offer regular adjustments at this time, however, we are able to still provide treatment for acute crisis situations. These situations will be assessed individually by the Doctor over the phone and a course of treatment options will be determined from there. If you are experiencing an acute crisis, please call 403-251-0002 and either Dr Brad or Dr Alex will walk you through the next steps.

We invite you to stay in touch with us via our social media channels (FaceBook, website, Instagram) where we'll continue to share important practice updates, health tips, and trustworthy research-backed information during this crisis.

We can't thank you enough for your support and understanding during this time. Please know that we're here for you and will do everything we can to support our community.

We plan on resuming regular hours and appointments as soon as we are able.



Below is a definition of emergent care as defined by our association.

Emergent care is defined as follows:

1. The patient is in an acute condition where they would be severely physically limited from basic daily activities without chiropractic care

2. The patient is in a sub-acute condition that if left untreated would be vulnerable to an acute flare-up that could leave them severely physically limited from basic daily activities.

3. Patients who are not experiencing an acute or sub-acute condition as described above, such as someone who has had a slight twinge after their run, are not considered emergent care.



Yours in Health,
