Dr. Maureen  Asks some important questions of interest to Toronto residents - Chiropractor Toronto Dr. Maureen Asks...

What's the difference between sick care and health care?
Sick care is largely about relieving or suppressing symptoms. Health care is about improving performance. While sick care is about how you feel, health care is about how you function. Sick care is what you do to treat an obvious problem, and health care is what you do to avoid the problem and advance your well-being.
Why does chiropractic work?
Chiropractic works because your nervous system, consisting of your brain, spinal cord and all the nerves of your body, controls and regulates every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body. A chiropractor locates and reduces areas of nervous system compromise (usually along the spine) so your capacity to heal is restored. Chiropractic works by helping your body work as it was designed.

Your Second Visit at Essence of Life, Wellness Care

Dr. Borghoff will make your first adjustment as comfortable as possible.

On your report visit we explain what we found and how we may be able to help you. After we study your health history and correlate our examination findings, we’ll make recommendations designed to help you get and keep your health. We call this the Report of Findings.

This is usually attended to on your second visit, which may be the following day and takes 20-30 minutes. This two-visit approach accomplishes several things:

  • Reduces the length of your first visit
  • Gives us time to correlate our findings
  • Avoids overloading you with too much information

In certain situations, and in the professional judgment of Dr. Borghoff, we sometimes make exceptions. It just depends on your unique situation.

We seek to answer all of your questions and concerns and to provide with health care solutions that work for you! It is at this point you can decide to move forward with your care or not. The choice is yours!
