Let's talk about pain and the brain! 🧠
While we usually think of low back pain as only affecting the bones, muscles, and ligaments, chronic pain involves much more.
The brain plays a significant role in chronic pain by altering how we process signals from our muscles and joints. Sometimes, the brain misinterprets muscle contractions as a need for protection, causing pain and muscle spasms.
Chiropractic care, exercise, and good advice can help reduce this pain and improve function. 🙌

Just like enjoying ice cream in moderation can be part of a healthy lifestyle, it's also essential to balance indulgences with smart choices. Similarly, maintaining spinal health is all about finding balance. ⚖️
So go ahead and enjoy that ice cream cone guilt-free, but remember to prioritize your health, too! Balance is key to living a happy, healthy life. 🌟

This is why a thorough examination is important to determine the correct diagnosis (and, therefore, the appropriate treatment).

As one of Barrhaven's longest serving Chiropractic clinic, I continually strive to achieve the highest standards of excellence in all aspects of patient care. This high-level of quality and service has helped me become the number one choice for many residents of Barrhaven and surrounding areas for Chiropractic care, and custom orthotics.
Originally from Trois-Rivières, QC, I have been in practice in Barrhaven since 1993. Over the past 25 years, I have continuously acquired further knowledge, skills and experience, but it is my passion for caring for people and my ultimate goal of restoring their optimal health that has fuelled my success and established me as a well-respected health care practitioner in my community.
Additionally, I hold positions with the Canadian Chiropractic Board of Examiners and the College of Chiropractors of Ontario. It has been very professionally fulfilling and gratifying to serve the Chiropractic profession outside the traditional clinic sense, all the while providing an opportunity for myself to continuously learn and remain the best Chiropractor I can be.
In addition to Chiropractic care, South Nepean Family Chiropractic also offers Massage Therapy. Our in house massage therapist is Angela Hopper.
Angela Hopper graduated from a 2200 hour program from the Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy with honours after completing an undergrad in Music from St. Francis Xavier University. She is a member of the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario as well as the Registered Massage Therapists Association of Ontario.
Angela is passionate about providing comprehensive treatment plans that are attainable for her patients. She focuses on postural alignment, headache and migraine relief, correcting repetitive stress injuries, nerve entrapment, TMJ dysfunction, sports injuries, stress management and remedial exercise. She believes that people should not have to live in a state of chronic discomfort and through manual therapy and our health care team at South Nepean Family Chiropractic, we can get you on a path of relief!
