Meet the people behind River Chiropractic and see how our south Ottawa chiropractic clinic approaches assessment, communication and responsible care planning.
River Chiropractic was built to make chiropractic care feel clearer, more thoughtful and more intentional, from your first assessment to every decision that follows.
River Chiropractic is an independent chiropractic clinic at Unit 203, 2446 Bank Street in south Ottawa, led by Dr. Charles Farah, DC, Doctor of Chiropractic and a registered member of the College of Chiropractors of Ontario. Each new patient assessment begins with a health history and examination. When clinically appropriate, objective measures are selected to help establish a baseline. Findings and care options are then explained in plain language before a plan is recommended.
The clinic is in the Bank Street and Hunt Club area, near South Keys, Greenboro, Upper Hunt Club and Blossom Park. These neighbourhoods are part of the south Ottawa community River Chiropractic was built to serve.
The goal is simple: help patients understand what was assessed, what was found, what options are available and when progress should be reviewed.
The River name reflects that same idea. Care should have a direction, clear review points and a shared understanding of where you are in the process.
Three principles guide how our south Ottawa chiropractic clinic assesses concerns, explains findings and reviews care. Each one builds on the last.
Pain is personal, and progress should be evaluated with more than one measure. Before care is recommended, Dr. Farah considers your history and examination findings. When relevant, measures may include range of motion, strength, grip or pressure sensitivity.
After your assessment, Dr. Farah explains the relevant findings in plain language, answers questions and discusses reasonable options, including when chiropractic care may not be appropriate. Informed consent is an ongoing conversation, not just paperwork.
When chiropractic care is appropriate, a plan may be organized into phases with goals and review points. Reassessments help determine whether care should continue, change, conclude or involve referral to another provider.
One role provides chiropractic care. The other supports the systems around it. Clear responsibilities help keep clinical decisions between you and your chiropractor.
Dr. Farah provides chiropractic care at River Chiropractic in Ottawa, including assessment, explanation of findings, recommendations and reassessment. His approach is the clinic's approach: measure when relevant, explain before recommending, and review progress before continuing.
Patients can independently verify an Ontario chiropractor's current registration and public register information through the College of Chiropractors of Ontario public register.
Care with Dr. Farah is available in English and French.
“Measure when relevant. Explain clearly. Decide together.” River Chiropractic's approach
River Chiropractic's operations lead manages the nonclinical systems around care, including booking, billing, insurance administration, facilities and paperwork.
The operations role does not treat patients or make clinical decisions. That line is deliberate: decisions about your care remain between you and your chiropractor.
