We are not a high volume chiropractic clinic. We schedule each appointment to be 15 minutes in length.

Active Release Technique (A.R.T.)

Active Release Technique  is a specialized method of treating pain, tightness and injuries to muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. Its aim is to remove scar tissue or adhesions in order to improve how these tissues function. Adhesions develop in tissues that are under constant stress due to prolonged athletic activity, poor posture, repetitive movements and after an injury.

Every ART treatment is a combination of examination and treatment. The ART provider uses their hands to evaluate the texture, tightness and movement of the involved tissue. Abnormal tissues are treated by combining precisely directed tension with patient movement.

Spinal Traction

Spinal Traction is used to treat acute and chronic low back pain.  It is performed on a specially designed motorized table that pulls and stretches the spine and decreases pressure on the nerves that exit the spinal column.  Spinal Traction has been shown to have significant effects on decreasing low back pain that radiates or shoots down into the buttocks, leg or foot.

Conditions treated include:
▪ Sciatica
▪ Degenerated disks
▪ Spinal Stenosis
▪ Spinal Arthritis

Spinal Adjustment

Spinal Adjustment is a technique used to treat pain of spinal origin and/ or to maintain proper function of the spine. Its purpose is to restore proper motion and to free up tightness to the joints involved. Chiropractic is a natural, non-invasive approach to health care. Approximately four and a half million Canadians use the services of a chiropractor each year.

Graston Technique

Graston Technique is an innovative, patented form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization that enables clinicians to effectively break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions. The technique utilizes specially designed stainless steel instruments to specifically detect and effectively treat areas exhibiting soft tissue fibrosis or chronic inflammation.

Kinesiotaping

Kinesio Taping is a technique that utilize a special medical tape which gives support and stability to your joints and muscles without affecting circulation and range of motion. Its efficacy is exhibited through the activation of neurological, circulatory and muscular systems. The Kinesio Tape is applied over muscles in specific configurations to reduce pain and inflammation, relax overused tired muscles, and to support muscles in movement. It is non-restrictive type of taping which allows for full range of motion and can be worn during athletic activities.
