CHIROPRACTIC
A chiropractic adjustment is the use of a specific, controlled force applied to a restricted joint that is not moving properly. Chiropractic adjustments help return the bones to a normal position and restore proper motion to the joint.

The clinic is registered with WSIB (Workplace Safety & Insurance Board). If you have been injured at work, the cost of treatment is covered by WSIB. We will help you recover from your injuries and make a safe return to work. We are authorized providers of the POC (Program of Care) for low back, upper extremity and lower extremity injuries.
LASER LIGHT THERAPY
The emerging light therapy technology uses infrared energy to provide patients with a temporary increase in blood circulation, temporary relief of minor muscle and joint aches, pains and stiffness, relaxation of muscles and temporary relief of minor pain and stiffness associated with arthritis. Wavelengths between 660 and 1,000 nm are used for this purpose. Light emitted by the laser diode penetrates deepest followed by the superluminous diode (SLDs) and then the light emitting diode (LEDs).
SERVICES
THERAPEUTIC ULTRASOUND
Ultrasound works by applying sound waves to the injured area. Ultrasound increases the rate of healing by two different mechanisms; thermal and non-thermal. Thermal effects of ultrasound increases blood flow and reduces muscle spasm in the affected areas. Non-thermal effects include tissue regeneration, reduction of swelling, and synthesis of protein and collagen. Ultrasound is effective, safe, and totally painless.
ELECTRICAL MUSCLE STIMULATION
This therapy involves low levels of electrical impulses delivered to the injured, painful tissues to reduce pain and relax tight muscles. Often described by patients as a "tingling" sensation, these impulses stimulate the body to release natural pain relievers, called endorphins. This therapy can be used to treat acute or chronic pain
KINESIOLOGY TAPE
Kinesiology Tape works by naturally stimulating your body's own pain relief and healing mechanisms. The stimulation caused by the tape on your skin reduces inflammation and discomfort associated with injuries and allows your body to recover faster. Kinesiology Tape applications provide the continuous care necessary to reduce discomfort and swelling. The tape provides the necessary "treatment between treatments" that some individuals require in order to remain active.
