DR. FRANK DEBEER
CHIROPRACTOR
Dr. Frank DeBeer graduated from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto in 1981. Chiropractors have a minimum of 7 years post-secondary education with over 4500 hours of academic and clinical training. As a Chiropractor I diagnose, treat and prevent pain syndromes related to the spine, nervous system and joints. Treatment is mainly by hand by adjustments but may also involve exercises, muscle relaxation techniques, bracing and modalities such as ultrasound, shock wave, TENS, IFC and others. Treatment is evidence based and treatment plans are individualized based on patient needs. Treatment can be for acute and/or chronic conditions.
During my health care journey to improve patient outcomes I came upon Pedorthics and graduated in 2014 from the College of Pedorthics of Canada as a Canadian Certified Pedorthist.
Pedorthists are orthotic and footwear specialists. A foot orthotic is a medical device that fits into your shoes to help support and improve foot function. They can be used by people of all ages and activity levels, children, adults, seniors, athletes both elite and non-elite levels. Unresolved foot issues are often a factor in low back, hip, knee, ankle and foot pain. Medical Doctors, Nurses, Chiropractors, Physiotherapists and Massage Therapists know the benefits that foot orthotics can provide to patients.
At Fotis Physio & Wellness I will be providing Chiropractic services, all aspects related to custom and over-the-counter foot orthotics, modifications, additions, adjustments, footwear evaluations and compression hosiery.
Chiropractic Therapy
Chiropractic is an evidence-informed, non-invasive, hands-on health care discipline that focuses on the musculoskeletal system. Chiropractors practice primarily using their hands, providing diagnosis, treatment and preventive care for disorders related to the spine, pelvis, nervous system and joints.
Chiropractors use a combination of treatments, depending on the specific needs of the individual patient. After taking a history, performing an examination and establishing a diagnosis, a chiropractor can develop and carry out a comprehensive treatment/management plan, recommend therapeutic exercise and other non-invasive therapies, and provide nutritional, dietary and lifestyle counseling.
One of the most common therapies a chiropractor uses is spinal manipulative therapy (SMT), which can comprise a variety of adjustment techniques. Specific training in SMT allows chiropractors to provide highly-skilled and precise adjustments to the vertebrae of the spine, correcting joint motion to restore proper movement and improve function.
For many conditions, such as low back pain, chiropractic care is the primary method of treatment. When a multi-disciplinary approach is advisable, a chiropractor will coordinate care with other health care professionals. Where other conditions exist, chiropractic care may complement or support medical or other treatment by relieving the musculoskeletal aspects associated with the condition.
Chiropractic care may also be used to provide symptomatic relief for patients with chronic conditions such as:
- Back Pain
- Neck Pain
- Headache
- Whiplash
- Strains and Sprains
- Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI)
- Work and Sports Injuries
- Arthritis
- Limited Range of Motion in the Back, Shoulder, Neck or Limbs
Chiropractic is a regulated health profession, recognized by statute in all Canadian provinces and American states. Almost 2.7 million patients in Ontario rely on chiropractic care every year to help them live healthy, active lives.
