Recommend to me a good chiro

anyone know a legit good chiro? I am having right shoulder pain/weakness.
I went to two chiros in mississauga and surprisingly they have good google reviews but all they do it crack your neck, hips and sometimes spine.

I am not looking for someone that cracks your neck then hips and calls it a day. some of them just seem like a scam that offers you a $2700 plan.
I would love to hear your stories.

somewhere in peel region.
 
I prefer and recommend treatment that addresses pain caused by muscle imbalance/tightness vs "snap, crackle, pop" treatments.
Not much to add since I don't have personal experience with practitioners out your way. (Mine are all in North York)
 
I did the chiropractor thing , for hundreds , and a long time ago my wife worked with three of them. Quackery at its finest . Find a real RMT , they are everywhere and get your MD to look into an MRI . Try everything (except chirp) before surgery

I have had both good and bad experiences with Chiros. My wife went to a terrible husband/wife team that made her much worse (and then sent her an angry letter when she told them that she wasn't coming back that basically said "you haven't finished your course of treatment and your health is at risk unless you continue weekly visits with us". wtf). I also know someone that had a stroke after chiro.

I have been to two very good chiros. Both were multi-disciplinary (chiro, physio, acupuncture, etc). Both got me in and out in a reasonable timeframe (two appointments with dr Embree in Burlington for an injury repair, a few months with the Dr andrea spino to fix a very messed up shoulder after a prolonged dislocation). As much as I don't really like chiro, both of those guys helped me recover faster and probably more completely than if I had tried it on my own. I sent my wife to spino and he fixed her problem as well. No pain years later and no continued appointments required. Spino does very little adjustment, he's more a pressure point, actuation, nerve excitation kind of guy.

You're looking at the wrong type of help, you should be looking for a physiotherapist.
 
I, regretfully, did chiro briefly - the identical treatment for every person was my tipping point. Morning stretching and monthly deep tissue massage and high CBD joints or oil here and there and I'm right as rain.
 

Oh wait! Sorry I thought you wanted some good Charo!

For a chiropractor try the place in Toronto where they teach it (y) is up near Sunnybrook Hospital area as I recall. They are maybe looking for people to practice on lol the teachers that is.
 
Chiros have their place. You had the wrong expectation, but the the chiro should have clarified what he does. Appointments are short with them because they can't crack your bones repeatedly. I had a great experience with a chiro when my back was feeling stuck from my bicycle. A few cracks made a huge difference, but I still have to do my physio exercises. Physio exercises actually treat the issue and percent it from coming back.

I've had great experience with one (North York unfortunately) and would go back even though I'm in Mississauga.

Other one...
"how much do you get insurance?'
"$600/year",
"OK great, we have a great plan for $1000, but what's $400 when it's your health right?"
"Goodbye"
 
What's this plan ********? I go to healthone.ca @ 1 York. They list their prices online where you can book an appointment. Chiro is $75/30min. Osteo $95/45min. Their walk in clinic wait times are online, and it's usually 0.

The chiropractic college hasn't been at that location for years. They're up at Leslie and Steeles now in a much nicer campus.
 
Chiro is temporary. Physio is permanent.

Although i had dealt with a chiro that gave me exercises to do at home to prevent me from having to go to him indefinitely when i had issues in my SI joint

I was on a service call there years back and everyone used pocket protectors and had 1956 haircuts.
 
Physio for me is getting back range of motion after an injury like surgeries or casting. Otherwise home exercise and stretching do the same (if I'm not hurt).

I have a lower back thing that I need my chiro for when it goes out. I wish I could isolate the movement that puts it out, then I simply would not do that.

Putting away clothes in my 20s I hit the floor. Chiro had me walking gingerly around his table (when I finally got there) within 20 mins.

Since than its random, but about once every 4 months. I've put it out getting off bike, playing ball, in a 5km run, vacuuming and most recently the rower.

I love my chiro. One, maybe 2 visits to get me back into place and then ice, ice, ice to get the muscles to calm down. He is also a physio and has a BA in sports medicine. However I just use the chiro service
 
Lorne Park Integrated Health gets my recommendation.
Marcela as an RMT works with me (herniated 2 discs years ago playing squash) and she'll set me up with their physio or chiro as needed. I'm not a chiro fan myself, but find her massage therapy tethered with the odd physio, the results are incredible.
 
You might stay off the neck adjustment.

The industry still too scammy for my liking.
Sports physio ala McMaster Uni tho seems more solidly based.
