The Bedford Park Chiropractic Clinic has been a proud part of the Lawrence Park community for more than 20 years.
Our Mission & Vision
Mission
Our Mission is to provide patients with the highest quality, evidence-based care possible, specifically tailored to their unique and special needs. We offer a variety of approaches to chiropractic treatment, ranging from spinal adjusting to mobilizations to myofasical therapy; we combine any or all of these techniques based on our clinical experience, the best available evidence and patient preference. Appropriate home-care recommendations (stretches, ergonomic advice) are also provided, based on clinical circumstances.
Vision
Our Vision is to be an integral part of the health and well being of people living in the community.
