Our Unique Approach

When a patient enters our office, they immediately notice a comfortable, clean, and modern environment we have carefully created within an updated century home in the heart of Newmarket. From the natural lighting to the exceptional team waiting to greet you, you will notice that our office was built with the patient experience at the forefront.

Our office operates on a paperless system that includes a patient-centered check-in system which allows for “no wait” appointment times.  All of our advanced diagnostics (thermography, digitized x-rays) are located on-site. This allows you to get your results in the shortest time frame as possible. We are a modern day health clinic designed for modern day living.

Patient comfort is always our priority, so we only use the best chiropractic techniques available.  We use state-of-the-art ‘drop-piece’ tables, approved adjusting instruments, and our hands to allow for a gentle, specific, and effective adjustment without aggressive movements.

Most chiropractors are trained in traditional adjusting techniques, although many chiropractors will incorporate a number of techniques.  Our office uses gentle techniques after having completed advanced training in these methods of adjusting.

One thing we make sure is that we always use the most effective technique given your condition and your preference based on your comfort level.  Before starting and program of care, we explain everything in advance.

Type Of Care

Corrective Chiropractic Care

Corrective cervical chiropractic care focuses on identifying and addressing misalignments or abnormalities in the entire spine that may be contributing to pain, dysfunction, or decreased mobility. Through a combination of spinal adjustments, rehabilitative exercises, and postural correction techniques, corrective chiropractors aim to restore proper alignment, posture, and function to the overall spine.

By targeting the root cause of spinal issues rather than simply treating symptoms, we help patients achieve long-term relief and improved spinal health. This specialized approach involves personalized treatment plans tailored to everyone’s unique needs and goals.

Patient preferences are used in choosing our adjusting techniques – where you prefer manual, drop-table, instrument-based, or gentle pressure points – we have you covered.

Gentle Chiropractic Care

Gentle chiropractic care employs low-force adjustment techniques to address misalignments and alleviate pain or discomfort in the spine and joints. By utilizing gentle pressure, specialized instruments, or drop-table adjustments, gentle chiropractors ensure a comfortable and relaxing treatment experience for patients of all ages and conditions.

These gentle techniques prioritize the delicate nature of the spine and nervous system, promoting optimal healing and reducing the risk of exacerbating existing issues. With a focus on precision and patient comfort, we offer effective relief while minimizing discomfort or soreness commonly associated with traditional chiropractic adjustments.

Upper Cervical Chiropractor

Upper cervical chiropractic care focuses specifically on the alignment and function of the uppermost vertebrae in the spine, known as the upper cervical spine. By addressing misalignments/joint restrictions in this area, which can impact the brainstem and nervous system, the aim to restore proper communication between the brain and body.

Through gentle adjustments tailored to the unique anatomy of the upper cervical spine, upper cervical chiropractic care seeks to alleviate pain, improve neurological function, and enhance overall health and well-being. Our Newmarket upper cervical chiropractor uses this specialized approach which involves precise analysis techniques (digital x-ray) and specific adjustment methods to ensure safe and effective treatment.

Corrective Exercises / Posture Exercises

Corrective exercises in chiropractic care are tailored to address muscular imbalances, weaknesses, and postural issues that contribute to spinal misalignments and dysfunction. These exercises aim to improve flexibility, strength, and coordination in specific muscle groups to support proper spinal alignment and function.

By incorporating targeted corrective exercises into a comprehensive treatment plan, we help patients retrain their muscles and movement patterns, promoting long-term spinal health and reducing the risk of future injuries or relapses. With consistent practice and guidance, corrective exercises empower our patients to take an active role in their recovery and achieve optimal spinal correction in the shortest amount of time.

Techniques

Active Release Technique (ART) & Trigger Point Therapy (TPT)

These 2 “soft tissue” techniques focus on your muscles and tendons. They break up fascial adhesions, increase blood flow, and relax your muscles.  This encourages healing, and when used in combination with spinal adjustments, allows your adjustments to hold better.  ART and TPT help reduce pain in your muscles as well.

Y-Strap

This allows for traction to be applied in the y-axis (pulling) to the cervical spine.  While the aggressive ‘y-strap adjustment’ has become popular on YouTube, the more common and safer way to use this device is with a slow, controlled pull helping stretch open the discs in the neck taking pressure off discs and nerves.  Often this can be done using the hands in a much more controlled movement.

Diversified Technique

This is the most commonly used “traditional” adjustment technique by many chiropractors.  Diversified is characterized by a high-velocity, low-amplitude thrust.  It’s considered the most generic chiropractic adjusting technique. It’s main objective is to restore proper movement of spine and joint dysfunction.  This technique is used when patients request it and when indicated.

Thompson Technique (Drop Table)

This is a very specific, but gentle technique. Individual cushions or “drop pieces” located along the surface of our table support each area of your spine. Then, each drop piece gently gives way, thus reducing the amount of energy needed to move a specific spinal segment. This is a very effective technique to address specific spinal concerns.  Pediatric patients, those with osteoporosis, arthritis, or who have significant pain and sensitivity, appreciate the investment we have made into our “state-of-the-art” tables.

Chiropractic Biophysics (CBP)

Chiropractic BioPhysics is a highly advanced, scientific, and proven chiropractic technique (this is the most researched technique within the profession) which corrects and restores your spine back into normal alignment. This technique combines biology, physiology, physics, and anatomy to identify the causes of your pain, discomfort, loss of mobility, and altered health. That means your diagnosis and treatment will be based on sound scientific and chiropractic principles.

CBP chiropractors start with a scientifically based examination of your posture, spinal alignment, and function.  This often involves x-rays as a way to pinpoint the root cause of your spinal misalignment. Once the cause is identified, a carefully planned series of gentle adjustments, exercises, and spinal remodeling programs will be implemented.

Impulse/Arthro-Stim Adjusting Tool

Just as lasers have replaced scalpels in some surgeries, advanced technology has become available to chiropractors. These devices were specifically created to deliver gentle and precise chiropractic adjustments to the joints of the spine and extremities to relieve pain and restore function. Impulse and Arthro-stim adjustments are high-tech instruments. Therefore, there is no popping or cracking with these adjustments, but rather a very precise and targeted “vibration”.  This helps to specifically move spinal segments or joints. They are extremely safe and effective for patients of all ages.

Activator Technique

We use one of the most popular “low-force” gentle techniques in the world, The Activator Method. The device is a handheld spring-loaded tools that delivers a consistent low-force, high-speed thrust. As such, the devices are many times faster than adjustments delivered by hand.  This allows the body to relax, which is more comfortable for you.

Technology

Infrared Thermography Technology

We use the state-of-the-art non-invasive Insight Millennium Infra-red Thermography that objectively helps us to:

• Detect areas of nerve disturbance along your spine
• Document and monitor your results as you progress through care
• Deliver appropriate and custom chiropractic care

It also enables us to detect nerve interference in newborns and infants with a high level of precision. The thermographic scan gives us a “picture” of what is happening in your autonomic nervous system, that helps determine how and where there may be stresses in your nerves.

Diagnostic X-rays (Digital)

We provide on-site digital x-ray technology in order to diagnose you accurately. To see is to know and we will not guess when it comes to your health. X-ray technology is essential for your diagnosis and determining how you are responding to your care.
