Profile

Dr. Karim Guirguis, BSc, DC
Chiropractic is a non-invasive, hands-on health care discipline that focuses on the neuromusculoskeletal system. Chiropractors practice a manual approach, providing diagnosis, treatment and preventive care for disorders related to the spine, pelvis, nervous system and joints.
Chiropractors use a combination of treatments, all of which are based on the specific needs of the individual patient. After taking a complete history and diagnosing a patient, a chiropractor can develop and carry out a comprehensive treatment/management plan, recommend therapeutic exercise and other non-invasive therapies, and provide nutritional, dietary and lifestyle counselling. For many conditions, such as lower back pain, chiropractic care is frequently the primary method of treatment.
Chiropractors treat and help prevent recurrence and further progression of various musculoskeletal and neuromuscular dysfunctions. Examples include:
*Back pain *Neck Pain *Whiplash injury *Headache *Strains and sprains *Repetitive strain injury (RSI) *Work and sports injuries *Arthritis *Limited range of motion in the back, *Shoulder *Neck or limbs *General health and well-being
