❗️Cancellation Policy Reminder❗️

Your appointment time is reserved just for you. A late cancellation or missed visit leaves a hole in my day that could have been filled by another patient. As such, we require 24 hours notice for any cancellations or changes to your appointment. Patients who provide less than 24 hours notice, or miss their appointment, will be charged a cancellation fee.

I have a busy schedule and a wait list of patients that would like to get in to see me, with appropriate notice we can contact them to get them in for the treatment they require. Furthermore, most private healthcare clinics work on a model that each practitioner is paid per person that they see. If you do not attend your appointment, or we are unable to fill that spot, the practitioners do not get paid. Please give us as much notice as possible so that we may try to fill gaps in the schedule.

Thank you 🥰

❌ Did you know that you can breathe wrong? ❌

If you've ever watched a baby breathe, it's all through their stomach. But as we get older and the world forces us into a forward slouched position 🧑‍💻 it's harder for us to belly breathe and we start to chest breathe instead.

While you chest breathe 20 000 times a day, your neck muscles are going to get very tight and your mid back joints are going to get very stiff.

Roll your shoulders back and sit up tall, and take a deep breath in. Feel how that is different from how you usually breathe (when you're sitting like a 🍤).

Re-learning how to breathe is harder than you'd think. You have to really think about it until it starts to become second nature again. But your body will thank you in the long run, your joints with move more freely in your mid back, your neck will be more relaxed, and your body will get more oxygen easily as you may be able to take a deeper breath.

If you still find it difficult to belly breathe, book an appointment so we can work on your joint mobility, relax your muscles and help you cue the movement. 🌬

Pain can limit your ability to work, care for your family, and enjoy other daily living and recreational activities. Some exercises that you might find on Youtube could be doing you more harm than good.

Call ☎ 613-687-9081 ☎ to book an assessment, so we can come up with a plan to get you back to whatever your normal is... without pain.

The followup visits to a chiropractor are different than the initial assessment. We've already done the lions share of investigating what's going on, now we're going to try and manage it.

These appointments are 15-30 minutes in legnth, depending on the number of complaints you have, the complexity of the issues, and if we will be using any modalities or doing any exercises.

At the beginning of each visit I'll ask for an update to your condition: is it the same, better, or worse than the last time I saw you?

-is you pain less frequent, is it less intense?
-has your range of motion improved?
-do you feel stronger?
-can you complete certain tasks with more ease?

We'll then put your money where your mouth is by assessing what you've told me. We'll recheck your posture, strength, range of motion, etc. to see how it's changed since we did the assessment and from week to week. As well as using the deficiencies to guide our treatment.

Then we'll get to treatment. I always work on muscles before I adjust / manipulate joints. It results in less force for the adjustment to work, and helps the joints function better.

I mostly use a vibracussor (silimar to a massage gun) to work on soft tissue (muscles, tendons, ligaments). But I also use instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM), manual release technique (MRT), and acupuncture.

When I adjust I use a combination of manual adjustments, drop piece adjustments with the assistance of the chiropractic table, and an arthostim (an electric impact 'hammer'). Since there are a variety of options, we can discuss what you're most comfortable with as manual adjustments aren't for everyone and that's ok.

We then end the appointment with a little bit of homework based on what we've found that day, or a reminder to do the exercises that I know you've been neglecting. 😉
