## Services (detailed)

### Chiropractic Therapy
Hands-on spinal care to find and treat the root cause of pain, no drugs, no surgery. Techniques include spinal manipulation (adjustments), the Activator Method (low-force, instrument-assisted), Drop Technique, and Flexion/Distraction (a gentle, non-surgical spinal decompression used for disc and nerve pain). Commonly treats back pain, neck pain, headaches and migraines, sciatica, pinched nerves, whiplash, and posture problems.

### Massage Therapy
Therapeutic, deep tissue, and prenatal massage by Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs). Used for chronic muscle tension, injury recovery, stress, and mobility. Direct billing available for most extended health plans.

### Deep Tissue Massage
Slower, firmer registered massage therapy that uses sustained pressure on the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, for stubborn knots, chronic tension, sport strain and soft tissue recovery. Coordinated with chiropractic care. Page: https://oxfordchiropractic.ca/services/deep-tissue-massage

### Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) Treatment
Assessment and treatment of whiplash and soft-tissue injuries after a car accident.

Gentle, family-friendly chiropractic for pregnancy and children.
