Dr. Troy Thornton was born and raised in Winnipeg, MB. Growing up he played many sports including hockey, baseball, and football. A bad injury in hockey led him to discover the benefits of Chiropractic and ultimately he chose a career in this field.

After graduating from the University of Manitoba, Dr. Thornton continued his education at Life University School of Chiropractic in Marietta, Georgia. Here he
obtained his Doctor of Chiropractic degree graduating Summa Cum Laude and was inducted into the prestigious Pi Tau Delta International Chiropractic Honors society for scholastic standing.

Upon returning to Winnipeg, Dr. Thornton opened Thornton Chiropractic where he has been in full time practice for the last 25 years and has treated people from newborns, families, weekend warriors, and professional athletes. Dr. Thornton mainly uses diversified technique but also employs Thompson Drop, SOT, activator, extremity work, and soft tissue mobilization to help patients reach their
goals.

In 2023, Dr. Thornton began treating patients out of his cottage in the LOTW area and has now teamed with Lake of the Woods Chiropractic and Wellness to better serve the community.

Outside the practice Dr. Thornton cherishes family time with his wife, Tara, three grown kids, and their two dogs. Dr. Thornton also enjoys the outdoors, playing his guitar, and cheering on his favorite sports teams, the Winnipeg Jets and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

Please share- some people are suffering in silence with this as there is stigma surrounding it. You never know who this may benefit ♥️

Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, often accompanied by fatigue, sleep disturbances, and cognitive difficulties.

It's a disorder where the brain and spinal cord process painful and non-painful signals in a way that amplifies painful sensations. While the exact cause is unknown, it's believed to involve a combination of factors, including potential issues with sleep, stress, or imbalances in the immune, endocrine, or biochemical systems.

Here's a more detailed breakdown of SOME issues:

Widespread Pain:
The hallmark symptom of fibromyalgia is chronic pain that affects multiple areas of the body, often with no identifiable inflammation or damage to muscles, joints, or other tissues.

Fatigue:
Extreme tiredness and exhaustion are common, often lasting for months or even years, and can interfere with daily activities.

Sleep Problems:
Fibromyalgia can disrupt sleep patterns, making it difficult to fall asleep, stay asleep, or experience restful sleep, leading to daytime fatigue and other issues.

Cognitive Difficulties:
Many individuals with fibromyalgia experience problems with memory, concentration, and focus, sometimes described as "fibro fog".

Other Symptoms:
In addition to the core symptoms, fibromyalgia can also be associated with headaches, depression, anxiety, and other mood changes.

There is so much more to this illness and individuals often feel alone, isolated, overwhelmed and have serious ripple effects on all areas of their lives.

Dearborn Therapy is in the process of exploring the need and want for a Fibroymalagia support group in our community- virtually with the support of clincial staff and those with lived experience. We are hoping to launch this in the fall.

We are asking for your (or your clients, friends, families) feedback and needs to ensure we are making this work for our area.

Please reach out to admin@dearborntherapy.ca with anything, we truly value all input for this.
