Chiropractic Care
Your brain is the master controller. Your brain knows what every single cell in your whole body is doing every minute of every day. For your arms to move, for your heart to beat, for your lungs to breathe, your brain has to be communicating with them appropriately. It communicates via messages that are sent up and down the spinal cord.
The Importance of Spinal Integrity
The integrity of your spine is critical because it houses the spinal cord. If your spine isn’t aligned properly or moving correctly, it can put pressure on the spinal cored and interfere with the flow of information between the brain and the body. The result is your body can have overall reduced health and function.
As chiropractors, our primary focus is to make sure your spine is in alignment and moving properly. When this is the case, your spinal cord can transmit vital information to and from your brain and body without interference. The result is that your brain can communicate with your body and have it express optimal health.

Informative Workshops
Getting pain free and rebuilding great health requires a lot more than just laying on the table and getting an adjustment. After we have helped you resolve your pain or your injury, we consider our role to be best described as health coaches. Our approach to health involves lifestyle changes that we guide you through via in office workshops and e learning resources. Here are the primary ones we feature:
- Eat by Design (lifestyle nutrition to reduce inflammation, improve energy, and build muscle)
- Move by Design (exercise and movement to keep you active and doing the things you love)
- Spinal Health (custom designed spinal hygiene and rehab programs tailored to each individual)
- Think by Design (changing health paradigms to empower you to keep moving to a healthier and more vibrant life)
The Role of Nutrition and Exercise
Body pain and injury presents is amplified by inflammation. The greatest way to reduce inflammation in the body is through nutrition. Often times, the simplest changes in nutrition create the most rapid recovery from pain episodes and injuries. You are what you eat is not just a mantra, it is a reality of human health. We cut through all the haze and confusion regarding nutrition advice so you don’t need to being surfing social media trying to figure out what is what.
Motion is lotion. The human body was made to move. There is almost no condition I have seen in nearly 25 years that doesn’t respond better with the proper amount of movement and exercise. We create custom rehab exercise programs for each patient. We also endeavour to teach every patient proper body movement and maintenance through exercise and lifting techniques.
As an avid runner and Crossfit athlete I can attest to the vast benefits (both mental and physical) that regular exercise and a wide variety of activities provides. Put simply, if you are human you need exercise to be healthy. Period.
