  • Biomechanical and structural joint restrictions of the spine can affect the nervous system, and in turn, lead to pain and stiffness.

    Chiropractic manual therapy treatments can restore the structural integrity of the spine, reduce pressure on the sensitive neurological tissue, and consequently improve the health of the individual.

  • Cupping therapy is an ancient healing method that may ease back pain, neck pain, headaches and other issues. It uses suction to pull on your skin and increases blood flow to the affected area.

  • Myofascial release focuses on reducing pain by easing the tension and tightness in trigger points leading to pain relief.

  • Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that stimulates the body's natural healing process. It can relieve pain and promote healing of injured tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues. It accomplishes this by releasing growth factors in the injured tissue.

  • Post-concussive syndrome and associated whiplash is a painful and frustrating condition for many patients. Assessing your physiological and neurological state following a concussion is essential to generating a care and rehabilitation plan for your best healing outcomes.

 FAQs

  • According to the Canadian Chiropractic Association, “Chiropractic care is a hands-on, non-invasive, and drug-free practice that safely and effectively helps relieve pain and improve the body's overall function; uses various treatments depending on your needs, from manual 'hands-on' adjustment techniques to soft tissue therapy.”

  • No, you do not need a referral to see a chiropractor in Canada. Please note, appointments are recommended and walk-ins are usually not able to be accommodated. Feel free to call or book online at your convenience.

  • I do! I also direct bill to most insurance plans.

  • Yes! With every slip, fall, bump and lump along the way as we grow, I believe it is important to have your child’s skeletal alignment screened for to determine early signs of scoliosis or muscle imbalances.

    Every pediatric appointment is focused on fun! My goal is to take the scary out of going to the doctor, and be a safe space for you and your children.

  • No problem! I offer a variety of techniques that still help restore joint function which do not require popping and cracking. As well, I will always ask you for consent when addressing any and all areas of your body, so if you do not want your neck touched for instance, then we won’t touch it!

  • As much as I would love to see you until the end of time, my goal as a chiropractor is to actually see you less. I want you out in the world enjoying your life pain-free. And I will always choose the correct frequency of treatments that will best help you, without you needing to be in my office every day.

    I find most of my patients eventually transition to a wellness or maintenance model, where just like an oil change on a car or your biannual cleaning at the dentist, I’ll check your body to make sure it’s running optimally.
