Ahimsa Chiropractic is a unique approach to chiropractic care, centred on the principle of non-harm to the body’s tissues. Derived from the Sanskrit word "Ahimsa," which means non-violence or kindness, this method uses gentle forces that align harmoniously with the body’s needs. The technique is slow and comfortable, making it ideal for those suffering from joint and muscle pain, while also reducing or eliminating nerve interference.

Rooted in the philosophy of Ahimsa, this practice emphasizes kindness and non-violence not just toward others, but toward the body’s muscles and joints. One of the key differences between Ahimsa Chiropractic and conventional chiropractic care is the importance placed on the health of the practitioner. Our guiding principle is "Physician, heal thyself," ensuring the practitioner is in optimal health to support the healing process of the patient.

While contemporary chiropractic methods focus on quick, rapid adjustments, Ahimsa Chiropractic replaces speed with a slower, gentler approach. The force applied is determined by the patient’s comfort and needs, not the practitioner’s speed. In addition to the adjustments, the healing process is supported by herbal remedies and dietary counselling, eliminating the need for unnecessary drugs. Unlike modern medicine, which often relies on pharmaceuticals to alter body chemistry, we use anti-inflammatory herbal supplements to promote healing.

Another distinction is in how results are evaluated. In traditional chiropractic, the focus may be on immediate relief after an adjustment. However, Ahimsa Chiropractic takes a long-term approach, considering how the patient feels days, weeks, or even months after the treatment. The aim is to ensure the patient experiences sustained relief, reduced stress, and improved sleep.

Much like pharmaceuticals that provide temporary relief but can have long-term negative consequences (such as aspirin leading to stomach ulcers), the Ahimsa approach aims to avoid harmful side effects. For example, we offer white willow bark, the natural source of aspirin, as a safer alternative.

When you choose Ahimsa Chiropractic, you're opting for a more sustainable, gentle, and holistic approach to care. 

Ahimsa Chiropractic is similar to techniques like Diversified and Gon stead, but the key difference lies in the duration and intensity of the adjustments. The focus is on achieving long-term benefits rather than short-term fixes. Through biochemical changes, proper thinking, diet, and specific exercises, we help empower the body to heal itself and restore balance.
