Questions About Chiropractic Care in Ontario

What does a chiropractor do?

Our chiropractor in Ontario is trained in diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal conditions, particularly those affecting the spine, through non-invasive techniques. At our Ontario chiropractic center, our experienced chiropractor uses hands-on spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and lifestyle recommendations to restore alignment, improve mobility, and alleviate pain.

Are chiropractic adjustments safe?

Yes — chiropractic adjustments in Ontario are considered extremely safe and effective when performed by a licensed, experienced chiropractor. The risk of serious complications is very low, especially compared to surgical procedures or long-term pain medication. Our highly trained Ontario chiropractor uses precise, controlled techniques to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Do chiropractic adjustments hurt?

Most chiropractic adjustments do not hurt. Patients often feel immediate relief and increased mobility. You may feel a light pressure on the joint and sometimes hear a "pop" (cavitation), which is simply the release of gas bubbles. Some temporary, mild soreness may occur afterward as your body adjusts to the new alignment, similar to how you might feel after starting a new exercise routine. Our methods are gentle and communicative.

What to expect during a chiropractic adjustment?

Our experienced Ontario chiropractor may perform gentle spinal adjustments using hands or tools to correct misalignments. The process is quick, often painless, and tailored to your needs.

How can chiropractic care help with pain?

Chiropractic care in Ontario addresses pain by targeting its root cause, such as spinal misalignments or muscle tension. Our experienced Ontario chiropractor uses adjustments, therapeutic exercises, and holistic approaches to relieve conditions like back pain, neck pain, and sciatica. By restoring proper alignment, chiropractic care promotes natural healing.

What are the benefits of regular chiropractic care?

Regular chiropractic care in Ontario offers numerous benefits, including improved posture, enhanced mobility, reduced pain, and better overall wellness. Our experienced Ontario chiropractor helps prevent injuries, boost nervous system functions, and support long-term health through chiropractic treatments.

Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor?

No, a referral is typically not required to see a chiropractor. Chiropractors are licensed as primary care providers, meaning you can schedule an appointment directly for an evaluation of your pain or condition. We are happy to collaborate with your other healthcare providers if needed, with your permission.

Is chiropractic care only for back pain?

No, chiropractic care addresses much more than back pain. While it's highly effective for back and neck issues, it also helps treat conditions like headaches, joint pain in the shoulders or hips, and problems related to posture or repetitive motion. The focus is on optimizing nervous system function by improving spinal and joint alignment, which can benefit overall health, mobility, and wellness beyond just pain relief.

Dr. Mehr’s journey into chiropractic care began with his own experience as a competitive athlete. While playing semi-professional soccer in Canada, he experienced sports-related injuries that significantly affected his ability to remain active. Through chiropractic care, he experienced firsthand the benefits of proper spinal care and rehabilitation. His own recovery not only changed his perspective on health and wellness, but ultimately inspired him to pursue chiropractic as his life's profession.

Today, Dr. Mehr combines more than two decades of experience with a continued commitment to staying current with advancements in chiropractic care and rehabilitative therapies. His areas of focus include Sports Injuries, Spinal Decompression, Laser Therapy, injury rehabilitation, and ongoing chiropractic wellness and maintenance care.

Dr. Mehr is particularly passionate about working with athletes and active individuals. His experience as an athlete allows him to understand the physical demands placed on the body and the importance of getting patients safely back to the activities they enjoy. He regularly conducts sports physical assessments for local high school teams and has served as a team doctor, providing care and guidance to young athletes.

In addition, he has served on the Board of the La Verne Chamber of Commerce, reflecting his commitment to both the chiropractic profession and the local community.

Dr. Mehr believes that good health is an ongoing process rather than something that should only be addressed when pain occurs. His approach is centered on helping each patient understand their condition, their treatment options, and the importance of taking an active role in their own health. Whether helping someone recover from an injury, supporting an athlete, or helping a patient maintain their mobility and overall wellness, his goal is to provide personalized care designed around each individual's needs.

What Can Chiropractic Care Treat?

Chiropractic care traces its origins to 1895, when D.D. Palmer performed the first recorded spinal adjustment in Davenport, Iowa, after observing that misaligned vertebrae—later called subluxations—could interfere with the nervous system and affect overall health. Today, chiropractic continues to build on this foundational understanding: when spinal joints are not moving or functioning properly, they can disrupt nerve communication, contribute to inflammation, create muscle imbalance, and lead to both acute and chronic pain.

Because the spine serves as the body’s main structural support and houses the central nervous system, even small misalignments or soft-tissue injuries can trigger widespread symptoms—from mobility limitations to radiating discomfort and recurring tension. When the spine is restored to proper alignment and motion, many patients experience meaningful improvements in comfort, function, and overall well-being. Chiropractic care at Foothill Family Chiropractic in Ontario may help improve the following:

  • Neck Pain
  • Back Pain
  • Whiplash

How Chiropractic Care Works

After an initial consultation to assess your condition, our chiropractor will be able to use their findings to make a diagnosis. They’ll then be able to recommend treatment options for you. Our chiropractor at Foothill Family Chiropractic believes that health can be improved and preserved by adjusting these structures, particularly the spinal column.

Deep, focused adjustments are a specialized method used by chiropractors. Their tools are their hands, and they use them to apply a low level, quick thrust to targeted and specific areas. They focus around the neck, back, and joints. These adjustments loosen up the joints, allowing them to become more flexible, which lessens the patient’s pain and discomfort. Most patients can find relief from pain without the need for prescription drugs or surgical procedures.

To make an informed choice about your care, give Foothill Family Chiropractic in Ontario a call today at (909) 947-7777. Before considering painkillers that may contain harmful substances or side effects to solve your pain problem, choose the natural way to resolve your health issues through chiropractic care.

What Can Auto Accident Injury Care Treat?

Injuries related to an auto accident can be tricky and often don’t appear right away since being in an accident causes a boost in adrenaline. Therefore, you should get medical attention sooner rather than later. Examination by a chiropractor after an accident is essential because when you experience a forceful impact, it can cause the spinal column to move out of alignment. Auto Accident Injury Care at Foothill Family Chiropractic in Ontario may help improve the following:

  • Whiplash
  • Neck Pain
  • Back Pain
  • Shoulder Pain
  • Headaches
  • Dizziness
  • Hip Pain

  • Ankle Pain

  • Ligamentitis
  • Bursitis
  • Sprains & Strains
  • Herniated Disc
  • Sciatica
  • Pinched Nerve

How Auto Accident Injury Care Works

The act of hitting a car or getting hit by another vehicle is violent and traumatizing. Most people are left confused and anxious while trying to figure out what just occurred. Then the main concern is that no one is seriously injured and to quickly assess the damage done to the property after an accident. Foothill Family Chiropractic in Ontario wants you to know that even though there might be a small amount of damage done to your car, you can still experience injuries.

Our approach to addressing injuries sustained in car accidents differs from what you would expect if you went to an emergency room or a family doctor. Our top concern is addressing pain and doing all we can to identify the problem and its cause. Treatment plans include a combination of chiropractic treatments.

At Foothill Family Chiropractic, our goal is to get it right from day one, and we will identify the source of your pain and provide the appropriate treatment for your injuries. To learn more about how our auto accident injury care can help your recovery, call us at (909) 947-7777.

What Can Sports Injury Care Treat?

We treat a wide range of acute and chronic sports-related injuries.

Sports Injury Care at Foothill Family Chiropractic in Ontario may help improve the following:

  • Neck Pain
  • Back Pain
  • Shoulder Pain
  • Knee Pain
  • Elbow Pain

How Sports Injury Care Works

Chiropractors have taken on a more advanced role in sports science since understanding the neuromusculoskeletal system can help increase performance and prevent the breakdown of an athlete's body. Any physical trauma, on or off the field, can produce physical stress and shift the spine's vertebra. These shifts are called subluxations and significantly impact pain, fatigue, recovery, performance, and overall health.

If you're interested in restoring and improving your performance and well-being through natural, non-invasive chiropractic care, contact Foothill Family Chiropractic today at (909) 947-7777 to schedule a consultation.

Diversified Technique

How You May Benefit From Diversified Technique

  • Reduce pain, stiffness, and muscle tension
  • Relieve nerve pressure to improve nervous system function
  • Restore proper spinal and joint alignment for optimal function

  • Decrease inflammation and promote natural healing
  • Support better digestion, circulation, and breathing
  • Regulate blood sugar levels and promote metabolic health
  • Boost energy, flexibility, and physical performance
  • Enhance overall wellness and help prevent future injuries

What Can Diversified Technique Treat?

The most common chiropractic technique is diversified treatment, which involves spinal manipulation and adjustment of the spinal column, arms, and legs. It combines the best techniques from other manipulation methods, which involve low amplitude thrust to adjust the spine, correct any joint dysfunction, and improve conditions such as:

  • Neck Pain
  • Back Pain
  • Whiplash
  • Sciatica
  • Pinched Nerve
  • Headaches
  • Stress
  • Shoulder Pain
  • Knee Pain
  • Hip Pain
  • Tailbone Pain
  • Elbow Pain
  • Ankle Pain
  • Vertebral Subluxation
  • Pregnancy Pain
  • Colic
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Ankylosing Spondylitis
  • Frozen Shoulder
  • Tennis/Golfer's Elbow
  • Tendonitis
  • Ligamentitis
  • Bursitis
  • Sprains & Strains

How Diversified Technique Works

A chiropractor thoroughly examines the patient's medical history, family history, and signs or symptoms that help determine the problem. They also perform physical examinations and diagnostic tests, such as X-rays and MRIs, to understand the patient's source of pain or other symptoms and rule out other conditions.

The chiropractor uses high velocity with low amplitude thrust adjustment to misaligned joints or vertebrae to help the patient find relief. A popping sound comes when the pressure changes in the joint, releasing nitrogen gas. This often provides comfort and immediate improvement in the spinal area. Learn more about how Foothill Family Chiropractic in Ontario can help—reach out today at (909) 947-7777.

Applied Kinesiology

When Might You Discuss Applied Kinesiology?

If you have pain, stiffness, or a movement concern, a consultation can help you discuss your symptoms and care options. A chiropractor may include manual muscle testing during an assessment. Muscle testing alone cannot establish a diagnosis. Your clinician can advise whether further examination or a referral is appropriate.

How Applied Kinesiology Works

Applied Kinesiology was developed by chiropractor George Goodheart in the 1960s. It uses manual muscle testing as one part of a broader assessment. During a visit, the chiropractor may apply gentle pressure while you hold a position and observe how your muscles respond. Your health history and standard clinical evaluation remain important when deciding on care.

To learn more, call (909) 947-7777 or schedule a consultation.

What Can Activator Methods Technique Treat?

Created by Dr. Arlan Fuhr, the activator methods technique is one of the most common therapeutic methods chiropractors use to treat various complaints related to the spine and joints. This technique utilizes a small handheld spring-loaded instrument called an activator to apply low-force adjustments to targeted areas.

How Activator Methods Technique Works

Our chiropractor will evaluate your symptoms to identify the underlying cause of your pain. Then, you will be asked to lie face down on the adjustment table. During the activator instrument adjustment, the chiropractor places the device against the targeted area of the spine or joint. When activated, the instrument delivers a quick and controlled thrust.

The treatment usually begins with the lower back and then moves to other areas, such as the head, focusing on each vertebral segment. To learn more about the activator methods technique, please contact Foothill Family Chiropractic at (909) 947-7777.

What Can Drop Table Technique Treat?

  • Neck Pain
  • Back Pain

How Spinal Decompression Therapy Works

This FDA-approved technology relieves pain by expanding the space between the discs. During the procedure, the patient doesn’t experience any discomfort and will feel the spine gently stretching. This movement causes a vacuum effect within the disc, drawing back displaced disc material to help relieve pressure on nerves and replenish the spine with essential nutrients, fluids, and oxygen to help heal the damaged disc. There is also no recovery time.

If you suffer from chronic back or neck pain, spinal decompression at Foothill Family Chiropractic may be the best treatment for you. Give our Ontario chiropractic office a call today to schedule a consultation.

  • Chronic Knee Pain
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Jumper's Knee

These adjustments provide support for a pain-free and positive childhood.

Our team at Foothill Family Chiropractic has experience providing chiropractic care for children, and we understand that children's bodies are quite different compared to adults. We use fingertip pressure, gentle mobilization, and specialized instruments that deliver minimal force during chiropractic adjustments.

What Can Prenatal Care Treat?

When your body starts preparing to create a nurturing environment for the development of a baby, it goes through numerous physical and endocrinological changes. Changes can include a misaligned spine or joints, protruding abdomen, an increased back curve, changes in your pelvis, and postural adaptations. Prenatal Care at Foothill Family Chiropractic in Ontario may help improve the following:

  • Pregnancy Pain
  • Back Pain
  • Neck Pain
  • Hip Pain
  • Tailbone Pain
  • Headaches
  • Pinched Nerve
  • Sciatica
  • Stress

How Prenatal Care Works

According to the American Pregnancy website, if your pelvis is misaligned, there is not enough room for the developing baby. Chiropractic care can help establish balance in your pelvis and align your spine.

At Foothill Family Chiropractic, we apply adjustments to the neck, back, and pelvic area to improve any skeletal issues you have developed. Our chiropractor is trained in working with pregnant women and uses tables adjusted for a pregnant body. When performing chiropractic techniques, they avoid unnecessary pressure on the belly.

Visiting a chiropractor at Foothill Family Chiropractic in Ontario can help you determine if your pregnancy is causing your pain. Our chiropractor will perform a detailed examination and check if the spine could benefit from an adjustment.

Weight Loss Chiropractic Care

When Pain Makes Activity Harder

Back, hip, or knee discomfort can make it harder to find enjoyable ways to move. We can discuss these concerns, assess whether chiropractic care is appropriate, and help you plan around your current abilities.

How Chiropractic Relates to Weight Management Support

There is no single treatment that replaces the habits involved in weight management. Lasting progress usually calls for an eating pattern you can maintain, regular activity that fits your health and abilities, enough sleep, and ways to manage stress. Your primary care clinician or a registered dietitian can help with individualized weight management guidance.

Chiropractic care may have a supporting role when musculoskeletal discomfort affects day-to-day movement. We can evaluate your symptoms, discuss suitable care options, and coordinate with other health professionals when needed. Chiropractic adjustments do not directly cause weight loss.

Schedule a consultation or call (909) 947-7777 to learn more.
