Dr. Ida Aghigh, DC - Movability - Wellness & Sport Sciences
I treat every care plan as collaborative and flexible. At each visit, I ask what has changed, which activities are easier or harder, how long any improvement lasts, and whether any part of the treatment felt too aggressive, too light, or simply not helpful. I then re-check the relevant findings and adjust the treatment techniques, intensity, appointment length, frequency, and home exercises accordingly. If progress stalls or the presentation changes, I reassess the working diagnosis and coordinate with another healthcare provider or recommend medical follow-up when appropriate.

Dr. Ida Aghigh, DC - Movability - Wellness & Sport Sciences
I stay current through continuing education, peer-reviewed research, clinical guidelines, professional seminars, and regular collaboration with colleagues across chiropractic, physiotherapy, massage therapy, acupuncture, naturopathic medicine, pelvic health, and exercise rehabilitation. I continually update my knowledge in areas such as nerve entrapment, manual therapy, medical acupuncture, pregnancy and postpartum care, biomechanics, gait, and corrective exercise. I adopt new methods only when they are safe, clinically appropriate, and capable of producing meaningful and measurable functional improvement.

3. How do you approach chiropractic care for patients with desk jobs or sedentary lifestyles?
Dr. Ronnie Chan, DC - Spinalcare Chiropractic Clinic
- Submit now
Dr. Ida Aghigh, DC - Movability - Wellness & Sport Sciences
I do not treat desk-related pain as a posture problem alone. I assess how the neck, shoulders, rib cage, spine, hips, breathing mechanics, nerve mobility, movement habits, and the demands of the patient’s workstation and schedule interact. Care may include hands-on treatment, joint and fascial work, nerve decompression strategies, medical acupuncture, mobility and strengthening exercises, and practical ergonomic changes. The goal is not to force one “perfect posture,” but to improve physical capacity, vary positions throughout the day, and reduce the repeated load driving the symptoms.

4. How do you determine when a patient has achieved their treatment goals?

Dr. Ida Aghigh, DC - Movability - Wellness & Sport Sciences
At the beginning of care, I establish meaningful goals such as working comfortably, sleeping without interruption, lifting a child, walking, exercising, or returning to sport. I monitor symptoms together with objective findings such as range of motion, strength, neurological findings, movement quality, tolerance to load, and the frequency and duration of flare-ups. A patient has achieved their goals when the original activities have been restored, improvements hold between visits, flare-ups are manageable, and the patient can maintain progress independently. At that point, care is reduced, concluded, or continued only according to the patient’s preference and clinical need.

7. How do you assist patients in returning to normal activities after an injury?
Dr. Ronnie Chan, DC - Spinalcare Chiropractic Clinic
- Submit now
Dr. Ida Aghigh, DC - Movability - Wellness & Sport Sciences
I help patients return to normal activity by identifying the exact demands of the activity, rather than focusing only on the painful body part. I first work to reduce irritation and restore mobility, then rebuild strength, coordination, confidence, and tolerance to load. Work, exercise, parenting activities, and sport are reintroduced gradually according to function and response rather than a rigid timeline. I combine hands-on care with individualized exercise, education, pacing, and load management. When a multidisciplinary approach will improve the outcome, I coordinate care with physiotherapy, massage therapy, acupuncture, pelvic health, or personal training.

8. What is the duration of a chiropractic consultation?
Dr. Ronnie Chan, DC - Spinalcare Chiropractic Clinic
- Submit now
Dr. Ida Aghigh, DC - Movability - Wellness & Sport Sciences
A new-patient chiropractic assessment is approximately 60 minutes. Follow-up appointments are offered in focused, standard, and extended formats, generally ranging from 20 to 60 minutes depending on the complexity of the concern and the goals of that visit. This allows patients to reserve enough time for appropriate reassessment and treatment rather than placing everyone into the same appointment format.
