Our Story
When most people think about chiropractic, they usually think about a patient with back or neck pain laying on a table and getting their spine twisted and cracked. While there’s nothing wrong with this style of care, we find that many patients are suffering with problems with a neurological or spine related problem, and are worried about getting their neck cracked.
We are one of only 4 offices in Ontario certified in the NUCCA technique. NUCCA is a gentle and precise procedure focused on the optimal structural and biomechanical alignment of the head and neck to improve nervous system function and balance the spinal structure. While it targets the upper neck, it can be used to address a wide variety of neurological and musculoskeletal conditions.
We are a multi-generational family practice, serving newborns and families up to seniors in Oakville since 1957. We endeavour to eliminate mediocrity through the chiropractic experience, and help as many families as possible live happy, healthy and powerful lives by restoring the natural inborn ability of the human body to facilitate healing, health and vitality.
NUCCA is a gentle and precise procedure focused on restoring the optimal biomechanical alignment of the head and neck. It is a highly specialized, image guided procedure to achieve objective, measurable and reproducible Chiropractic care.
NUCCA recognizes the critical relationship between the upper cervical spine (neck) and the central nervous system and brain stem function. When the spine misaligns, it can result in stress, tension and pressure on the entire nervous system. This can impact all functions of the body and can result in varying health conditions and chronic pain if left untreated.
Through a precise and incredibly gentle approach, we restore the body’s structural alignment back to normal ensuring it is balanced, with the head centred over the neck. By restoring balance in your body and removing obstructions to nervous system function, it allows your body to heal, recover and function properly.
There are many reasons to see a Chiropractor. It can be simply for a ‘wellness check’ and see how your spine and nerve system are functioning, to acute back and neck pain.
Typical reasons include: headaches/migraines, dizziness, post concussion, vertigo/tinnitus, numbness, neck and low back pain, sciatica, brain fog. postural imbalance, whiplash, disc herniation and many more.
Degenerative Disc Disease
Degenerative Disc Disease occurs when the soft disc material between the spinal vertebrae breaks down and ‘wears out.’ It’s a permanent condition that can result in leg pain, numbness, chronic burning into the arms or legs, and, unfortunately more.
Chiropractic can help alleviate symptoms by addressing the function of the spine.
For degenerative disc disease, an ounce of prevention is worth much more than a pound of cure.
You’ve no doubt heard the phrase “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”
