What is Chiropractic?
Optimizing Health With Chiropractic:
The body by design has the ability to self-regulate and self-heal. When your finger is cut, it heals following a cascade of events that occur automatically within the body. How amazing! This ability is governed by the nervous system comprised of the brain, spinal cord and nerves which allows communication to occur between every cell, tissue, organ, muscle and joints of the entire body. Like a road map, each nerve in the body provides information to a specific area of the body. This vital nervous system communication can be altered from improper motion, position or tension within the joints of your spine. A chiropractor’s job is to locate and adjust these joints in order to restore joint function and reduce nerve interference. In doing so, we optimize the body's ability to self-regulate and self-heal!
Chiropractic is MORE than just solving back pain!
I LOVE to help people! There’s not greater feeling! But I am also realistic enough to know that my best intentions and approach may not work for everyone. However, when it does work, the results are profound and can dramatically affect an individual’s life.
Chiropractic is one of the largest primary-contact health care professions in Canada (Canadian Chiropractic Association). It is a non-invasive, hands-on health care discipline that focuses on treatment and preventative care for disorders related to the spine, pelvis, nervous system and joints (Ontario Chiropractic Association).

I LOVE to help people! There’s not greater feeling! But I am also realistic enough to know that my best intentions and approach may not work for everyone. However, when it does work, the results are profound and can dramatically affect an individual’s life.
The following are real examples and remain the driving force behind why I do my job:
Chronic bronchitis and severe asthmatic received treatment with an activator instrument for irritated ribs: “I can’t believe the difference after one treatment! I can breathe easier and my posture has improved.” Parent of a two year old suffering from recurrent ear infections treated with light chiropractic mobilizations (low force with no rotation): “My child has not had any ear infections since starting treatment!”
Two years of daily, intense back pain that resolved following one month of treatment using soft tissue release therapy: “People have been asking me if I’m taking anti-depressant medication because they have not seen me this happy in 2 years”.
Twenty year history of low back pain resolved by correcting foot imbalances with orthotics: “I am able to exercise everyday now and I’ve lost 40 pounds! I never thought this would have been possible a year ago”.
Daily headaches that required continued medications were resolved with soft tissue release and neck mobilizations (not adjustments!): His wife stopped me while I was out doing errands to thank me for improving her husband’s quality of life.
Senior citizen with daily back pain from a vertebral fracture due to osteoporosis treated with an activator instrument: Her daughter emailed me to say that her mother is a new woman!
Child on medication for ADHD and mom thanked me: “Since starting treatment with you, my child is calmer, sleeps better through the night and is more rejuvenated in the morning” Forty year old woman who had never seen a chiropractor began care to improve her overall health. After a few treatments she commented: “I can’t believe that after having an adjustment I am able to have regular, daily bowel movements! I use to go days without one. Thank you – what a difference.”
If you have just read about yourself or someone you know in these examples it might be worth a try! Chiropractic is MORE than just resolving back pain. It contributes to your overall health and well being.
