Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic care focuses on spinal health and nervous system function through manual adjustments and instrument-assisted techniques. We treat musculoskeletal conditions like back pain, neck pain, and headaches while promoting overall wellness. Patients receive personalized treatment plans combining spinal adjustments with rehabilitative exercises and lifestyle recommendations to achieve long-term health benefits.
Custom Orthotics
Custom orthotics correct foot imbalances and improve biomechanics by realigning foot and ankle bones before creating personalized insoles. We address conditions like plantar fasciitis, flat feet, and knee pain through thermoplastic orthotics designed for various footwear. Our process includes gait analysis, biomechanical assessment, and follow-up adjustments to ensure optimal comfort and support.
Auto Accident Care
Specialized care for auto accident injuries focuses on soft tissue recovery and spinal realignment following collisions. We treat whiplash-associated disorders, disc damage, and musculoskeletal trauma using chiropractic adjustments combined with physiotherapy modalities. Our clinic directly bills auto insurance claims and provides documentation for legal and insurance purposes while prioritizing patient recovery.
Family Chiropractic
Family chiropractic services cater to patients of all ages, from newborns to seniors, addressing developmental issues and age-related conditions. Gentle techniques treat infant colic, childhood ear infections, and adolescent sports injuries while supporting family wellness through preventive care. We educate families about posture, ergonomics, and home exercises to maintain spinal health across generations.
Workers Compensation
Workplace injury treatment specializes in occupational musculoskeletal conditions from lifting strains to repetitive motion injuries. We manage WSIB claims with streamlined documentation and return-to-work planning while providing spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and ergonomic advice. Our 30+ years of experience ensures efficient care coordination between employers, insurance providers, and injured workers.

Questions
Do I need ongoing chiropractic care forever?
Continuing care depends on your personal health goals. While regular maintenance optimizes spinal function, treatment frequency decreases as symptoms improve, with many patients transitioning to periodic wellness visits.
Are chiropractic adjustments painful?
Most adjustments cause no pain, with 95% of patients experiencing minimal discomfort. Instrument-assisted techniques reduce tissue trauma compared to manual adjustments, ensuring comfortable treatment for all ages.
Does insurance cover chiropractic visits?
While OHIP doesn't cover chiropractic care, most extended health plans provide partial or full coverage. We provide detailed receipts for insurance submission, and directly bill for auto insurance claims.
Can I see a chiropractor after back surgery?
Yes, post-surgical patients benefit from chiropractic care focusing on adjacent spinal segments and overall musculoskeletal health. We coordinate treatment with your surgical team to ensure safe, complementary care.
How often should children receive chiropractic care?
Treatment frequency depends on individual needs. Newborns often require weekly adjustments initially, while older children typically visit biweekly. Regular check-ups support developmental milestones and sports performance without long-term commitment.
