If you searched a question like “Ottawa chiropractor for back pain” or “what does DDD mean on an MRI,” start here —
then jump into the full guides for details.
Do you treat back pain and neck pain in Ottawa (Nepean & Barrhaven)?
Yes. Our team helps patients with back pain, neck pain, headaches, and stiffness using an exam-based approach and a care plan tailored to you.
What happens at a first chiropractic visit?
Typically: history, exam, and a clear plan. If something needs medical imaging or referral, we’ll guide you.
What does “DDD” mean on an MRI report?
DDD means “degenerative disc disease.” Most of the time it describes age-related change—not a sentence or a guarantee of pain.
Disc bulge vs herniation: what’s the difference?
A bulge is usually a broader shape change. A herniation typically means the inner disc material pushes farther through the outer ring.
Why do I have sciatica/leg pain if my MRI says “no nerve contact”?
Pain can come from inflammation, sensitivity, and position-dependent pressure that isn’t always obvious in one MRI posture.
My MRI sounds scary — does that mean my back is “damaged”?
Not necessarily. Many MRI terms are “shape words.” The most important question is whether your findings match your symptoms and exam.
Is chiropractic safe?
Chiropractic care has a strong safety record when it’s appropriate and matched to the person. The plan should fit your history and exam findings.
Does cracking mean something is “breaking” or getting worse?
Usually no. The “crack” is commonly a pressure change in a joint (similar to cracking knuckles), and it doesn’t automatically mean harm.
What is cold laser therapy and what is it used for?
Cold laser (photobiomodulation) may help reduce pain sensitivity and support tissue healing in certain conditions when it’s the right fit.
Where should I start if I’m not sure what’s causing my pain?
Start with the most relevant guide, then book an assessment if symptoms are persistent, worsening, or affecting sleep, work, or walking.
