Why Chose our Office?
We are a Chiropractic and Wellness Centre focusing on the individual health needs of adults and children alike. Although many people initially consult our office for pain relief, our approach is about more than keeping you pain free. It is about establishing and maintaining proper communication between the brain, the nervous system and the rest of the body so that you may be able to maintain a proper state of balance and health.
What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is about maintaining the health of the nervous system. The nervous system controls the function of EVERY cell, tissue, organ and system of the body. Any malfunction or interference in the nervous system, and primarily in the spinal column, can lead to a malfunction somewhere in the body. As chiropractors, we refer to this malfunction or interference as a subluxation. Subluxations, if allowed to remain in the body can lead to a lack of ease in the body called “dis-ease”. Our approach is to locate these areas of subluxations causing “dis-ease” in the body and remove it, thereby restoring the body to a more balanced and healthy state.
For many of our patients this means a body with:
- Less pain
- More energy
- A stronger immune system
- Improved sleep
- Increased ability to handle stress
Many of our patients report an improvement in overall quality of life and a more responsive body, in general.
Daily physical, chemical and emotion stressors on infants, children and adults can lead to interference in the nervous system resulting in ill health. Our unique approach and gentle techniques allows us to help entire families live healthier and happier lives.
Our Services
Why Chiropractic Care?
People go to chiropractors for a variety of reasons. As we stated already, some go for symptomatic relief of a condition (Relief Care). Others are interested in having the cause of the problem, as well as the symptoms corrected and relieved (Corrective Care). Still others want whatever is malfunctioning in their bodies brought to the highest state of health possible with chiropractic care (Preventative Care).
These are the three Phases of Chiropractic Care.
- Preventative Care – Life Enhancement and Wellness Care
- Corrective Care – Removing the cause and Remodeling Soft Tissue
- Relief Care – Band-Aid Care Only
In addition to chiropractic services, our Centre provides state of the art technology scans to detect areas of weakness in the nervous system. We offer regular progress exams to monitor your progress and recovery.
We offer nutritional and life coaching, nutritional supplements, relaxation techniques and home care suggestions to assist you with your recovery and minimize the daily stresses on your body.
We offer custom made orthotics, which can help stabilize your spinal condition and address many foot and other musculoskeletal complaints.
We offer water-based cervical (neck) pillows to help support proper spinal curves while at rest so that patients may get the best results possible from their chiropractic care.
We offer ice packs to help naturally reduce pain and inflammation in the body.
We offer a lending library filled with a variety of books, CD’s and DVD’s that patients are able to borrow to enhance their healing process.
New Services
Coming Fall 2009 our Centre will be hosting special Workshops. Our purpose for hosting these workshops is to help as many people as possible benefit from chiropractic and a healthy lifestyle. For those undergoing care, we will be teaching ways to obtain the most from your chiropractic care, in the shortest amount of time, with the least cost to you.
You do not need to be a member of our practice to attend. These workshops are open to the general public and are a Complimentary Service.

| “My trip to visit Genesis Chiropractic is nearly a two-hour drive and the reason is simple, I believe in the work of Dr. Joanne because she treats the whole being and actually shows a genuine interest in her patients and their overall well being. She uses techniques that I have not experienced with others Chiropractors and the positive results are proof.” |
Community Partners
As our Centre actively promotes healthy living, diet and exercise, we are connected with a variety of community partners that promote a similar philosophy.
Yoga is a great form of body movement that helps open the flow of energy through the nervous system and improves flexibility in the body. For those of you who wish to benefit from yoga exercise, please ask our friendly staff at our reception desk for an information package about our community partner The Yoga Loft, or visit them at their website at http://www.theyogaloft.ca/ for more information about classes and programs.
We have discount cards at our reception desk for those wishing to try yoga for the first time or would like to begin yoga once again.
