Chiropractic

Collingwood chiropractor, Dr. Adam Martynuik, is the chiropractor Collingwood has trusted for over a decade. The Muscle & Spine team has since grown to include Collingwood chiropractor Dr. Mack Gingerich, but our goal remains the same:

To provide effective and safe treatment for the muscles, joints and nerves.

If you're looking for a chiropractor in Collingwood Muscle & Spine is the right choice. Beyond adjustments we treat the muscles. We even offer acupuncture. Everybody can benefit!

New patients are welcome and you do not need a referral. Visits are covered by most insurance plans.

Symptoms Chiropractors Help

Our primary focus is on keeping healthy individuals in good health. Yet, we often first meet patients seeking relief for a common muscle and joint pain. Even with all the information and self-help tools available managing pain is difficult.

Health-minded people value prevention strategies over reactive care. Even if you do not have pain or injury a chiropractor can have a profound effect on how you feel and move.

Signs of incomplete recovery come before pain: tight muscles, stiff joints, a feeling of imbalance, or tender to-the-touch body areas. A chiropractor can determine problem areas and intervene before pain. Nothing is more important than enjoying life and doing what you love free from pain.

The symptoms our chiropractors treat most often are back pain, sciatica, neck pain, shoulder pain, hip pain and headaches. Learn more about each below.

Chiropractic Treatment

A chiropractor identifies both where the pain comes from as well as the underlying cause. The best treatment plan is then outlined for the patient to understand.

A chiropractor provides experience, evidence-based information and treatment. They also motivate you to make the necessary life changes for more complete recovery.

Treatment aims to provide immediate pain relief then progress to causative factors. Many patients realize the benefit of continued chiropractic care after successful treatment.

Our chiropractors are skilled in dozens of techniques and treatment approaches. Besides joint adjustments we offer several muscle focused techniques. Some patients prefer one type of treatment while others enjoy a combination. That's why it is good to have options and a doctor who respects your comfort level.

Chiropractic treatment can include one or a combination of the following:

Joint Adjustments

Joint adjustments are the form of treatment chiropractors are most well-known for. They can produce immediate relaxation of the muscles and increased joint motion. They're effective in relieving pain and restriction in the head, neck and back.

Adjustments are a quick, but small movement of a joint by the doctor's hands. Mobilizations of the joints are a slower, more subtle movement of the joint. They're a particularly good compliment to muscle release techniques.

Muscle Release

Muscle release is where the muscle is tensioned with a pressure like a massage. The patient then performs a stretch specific to that muscle. This can improve the muscle quality and is effective for reducing muscle pain and spasm.

Massage Techniques

Massage techniques involve applying pressure to the muscles. This is often done with the hands, but at times with a tool. They can improve circulation, decrease pain and trigger a healing response.

Scraping uses a smooth tool to sweep and strip the muscles. Cupping uses a hollow cup with negative pressure to pull and strip the muscles.

Exercise Therapy

Rehabilitation restores function to the muscles and movements which become imbalanced after injury. Improved function removes stress from tissues and pain diminishes.

Pre-habilitation prevents future risk of injury by improving strength, mobility and balance. When done before surgery this can also help patients recover faster.

Education

Knowing what not to do is as important as other treatment when you're experiencing pain or injury. A chiropractor can tell you what to avoid or decrease to allow for faster healing and recovery.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture uses thin needles at specific body points. This decreases pain and triggers a healing response to improve recovery.

"I cant say enough good things about Dr. Adam, he's been so patient and informative and caring! Over the last few months he's helped me get back to a place of comfort and out of pain and numbness. He's progressed me with his treatments as well as a specific set of exercises in-between treatments individualized to me and without him I would not be where I am now. My routine maintenance and continued progress will be with and because of him. I'm very thankful I found him."
