Guidelines are part of healthcare today. There are best-evidence guidelines for everything from how to manage arthritis to heart disease to neck pain.

Healthcare guidelines continue to evolve, and guidelines for neck pain due to cervical disc herniation indicate an 8 to 12 week wait before surgical intervention which is just enough time for Toronto chiropractic care at Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre to potentially thwart Toronto back surgery for many.
