Our Services.
Treatment is tailored to your specific needs and goals. In applying evidence-based care, we take into consideration your condition’s response to specific treatments, as well as your previous experiences and preferences. Your visit may include any combination of the following services:
Chiropractic
Chiropractors use the best available evidence and clinical expertise to diagnose and treat issues that affect your body’s movement. Treatment involves manual manipulation of the vertebrae of your spine or other joints, which is called an ‘adjustment.’ To perform an adjustment, your chiropractor will use their hands or a specific instrument to apply controlled force to your joint and guide it through a range of motion. This action restores your joint’s natural movement and improves its function. Chiropractic care can alleviate your pain, as well as promote general health and improve your quality of life.
Active Release Techniques®
ART® is a patented, state of the art soft tissue system/movement based massage technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. Headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems, and tennis elbow are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved quickly and permanently with ART®.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy accelerates the healing process in the body by stimulating fibroblasts and enhancing blood circulation to regenerate damaged tissue. Shockwave technology delivers strong pressure waves that are applied to the affected area for short periods of time. This stimulates cells in the body that are responsible for bone and connective tissue healing. It can also break up calcium deposits in conditions like calcific tendinitis.
NormaTec Recovery System
The NormaTec Recovery System is a cutting-edge, dynamic compression device which has been scientifically proven to enhance the body’s natural ability to recover. The system rejuvenates muscle tissue and dramatically reduces tightness and soreness. Other proven benefits include decreasing muscle fatigue after exercise, increasing range of motion, and decreasing pain sensitivity. When used as part of a rehab protocol, following injury or surgery, NormaTec helps to speed recovery and improve outcomes.
NormaTec is available as an add-on to your regular visit or as a stand-alone treatment.
Medical Acupuncture
Also known as Dry Needling, medical acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles into strategic points on the body or specific muscles. When electrical stimulation is used in conjunction with needling, it is known as contemporary electroacupuncture or neurofunctional acupuncture. The goal is to modulate pain, support tissue healing, and reintegrate affected muscles. Medical acupuncture can be used for both acute injuries and chronic pain.
Custom Orthotics
Created to address the unique challenges of your feet, custom-made orthotics give you the stability you need to reduce stress and strain on your feet and joints from the ground up. Unlike over-the-counter inserts, our orthotics are clinician-designed for your unique foot and health challenges.
Rehabilitation & Corrective Exercises
Whether you need to rehab an injury, want to increase your strength in a certain area, or just want to improve your posture, we can prescribe a variety of exercises tailored to your needs and goals. All of our patients receive access to our clinic’s app, where the exercises your clinician prescribes will be stored and your progress can be tracked.
Percussion & Vibration Therapy
Percussion therapy increases blood flow and decreases tension deep within the muscle, with the use of a scientifically-calibrated device. The device’s combination of speed and depth treats your muscles comfortably by overriding the pain signals sent to the brain. Benefits include decreased muscle soreness and stiffness, faster warmup and recovery, increased blood and lymphatic flow, increased lactic acid clearance, and improved range of motion.
IASTM
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) is a soft-tissue treatment technique where a metal tool is used to provide a mobilizing stimulus to break up scar tissue and myofascial adhesions.
Kinesiology Taping
The benefits of kinesiology taping may include decompressing underlying tissues, improving circulation, and decreasing pain by altering signals to the brain. It can also be useful as a temporary method to train and improve posture.
Lumbar Spinal Stenosis Bootcamp
We are certified in a new treatment approach to help patients suffering from lumbar spinal stenosis. The overall goal of the program is to improve quality of life and maintain independence among the growing number of people who have developed this condition. It combines manual therapy, special exercises, instruction on body re-positioning techniques and self-management strategies.
Ankylosing Spondylitis Bootcamp
Utilizing self-management strategies alongside drug therapies is important for enhancing the quality of life for people living with AS. Based on research at the Rebecca MacDonald Centre for Arthritis and Auto-immune Disease, we offer a self-management training program designed to help people suffering from AS. It aims to maintain spinal mobility and reduce risk of individuals developing a stooped posture.
Nutrition & Supplement Support
Proper diet and nutrition are important aspects of health. If we suspect that you may have nutritional deficiencies, we can recommenced the appropriate supplements to optimize your nutrition and overall health. Through our partnership with Fullscript, we can prescribe supplements that support your health and have them conveniently shipped right to your door.
