Dr. McIntyre and Dr. McDowall are the owners and clinic directors of Burlington Sports Therapy.
They often use chiropractic spinal adjustments as a treatment method, but it really depends on the presenting condition. Your experience at Burlington Sports Therapy will begin with an initial examination. Following this, Dr. McIntyre or Dr. McDowall will discuss with you the nature or your condition and whether or not spinal adjustments would be beneficial. They will also discuss with you the risks and benefits of this approach. Should chiropractic adjustments not suit your comfort level, they will suggest to you other treatment options.

YOUR FIRST VISIT
Your Burlington Chiropractor at Burlington Sports Therapy will perform a proper health history and examination prior to treatment. This will usually require a minimum of 30 minutes. This may include questions about your personal and family medical history, major illnesses you have experienced, previous surgeries and current medications. Your chiropractor will ask you questions about your current condition and the steps you have taken to alleviate it.
It is a great idea to bring comfortable clothes and shoes for your visit to the chiropractor, but you may be asked to change into a gown to perform some tests. These tests may include a check of your blood pressure, pulse and breathing, a test of your reflexes, strength and sensations and an analysis of your posture.
At our Burlington Chiropractic Clinic, we often refer patients for X-rays to local medical X-ray facilities. Your chiropractic examination will include an analysis of your movement. Your chiropractor will evaluate how your spine moves and will identify areas of improper joint movement. Your initial examination will also involve orthopedic testing. These are tests in which the chiropractor will move different joints of your body in an effort to diagnose your condition. Following your examination, your chiropractor will make a diagnosis, prescribe a course of treatment, and once the matter of informed consent has been discussed, treatment usually commences.
Your chiropractor will refer you to an alternate practitioner should your condition be better treated by someone else. Our Burlington Chiropractors usually require 10 to 15 minutes for subsequent treatment visits. This duration will obviously depend on the type of treatment you require.

Dr. Kevin McIntyre is an extremely knowledgeable Chiropractor. Due to this knowledge, he brings alternative methods of care to his patients. As a runner, this is critical for me when I need to ensure that my areas of improvement can’t be addressed with just one method. Graston, A.R.T., and Chiropractic care have worked wonders on my IT band, knee and neck issues. Due to the great service and results from the Dr. McIntyre, I transferred my care over to him permanently. I really feel like I am taken care of and my needs and concerns are listened too and addressed. Today I am healed and I continue with my therapy as preventative maintenance. I am thrilled with the service provided and I would strongly recommend Dr. McIntyre service to anyone.
