Chiropractic
Did you know that there are over 10 million Chiropractic visits by Canadians every year? Chiropractic is a drugless healing art that focuses on the bones & joints of the body, especially the spine. Chiropractors diagnose & treat problems related to muscles, bones, nerves and joints of the body, especially the spine. Chiropractic is an effective therapy for many ailments, such as back pain, headaches, work & sport injuries, and stress. Because of the connection with the nerves of the spine, chiropractic can have an amazing influence on all the organs and tissues of the body. Discover how chiropractic can help YOU.
Chiropractic is safe for all people and ages; babies, children, pregnant women, athletes, and the elderly all benefit from chiropractic care.
Because not everybody is the same and because the body is sometimes complex, Drs. Nick & Marie utilize a variety of Chiropractic techniques & approaches. Some of them are Activator, Diversified, Network Spinal Analysis, and Upper Cervical. Ultra-sound and muscle therapy are also used to help with the recovery of your soft tissue.

Nutrition
Are you trying to lose weight? Have you been told by your doctor that you need to lose a few pounds? Then FirstLine Therapy® is for you.

FirstLine Therapy® is a tailored program that teaches people easily applicable nutrition basics as well as providing you with a personalized nutrition plan and exercise program. You will learn what to eat, how much to eat and when to eat it. Throughout the program we use Bioimpedance technology to ensure that you are losing fat and not muscle mass. We also monitor your body water and composition. FirstLine Therapy is an amazing method to lose the right type of weight in a healthy manner.
Nutrition is also an important component of the healing process and supports the Chiropractic approach to bone & joint health. Nutritional consultations and programs are provided to those individuals who want to maximize their health by ensuring that they are obtaining the proper nutrition. Nutritional education is offered through both one-on-one consultations and via regular group seminars. Please phone us for information on our upcoming presentations.
