Toronto Chiropractor

"I made the appointment for my sister who was suffering with extreme low back pain and sciatica. I was extremely impressed by the Doctor's thoroughness of the consultation and examination, and his detailed explanation of her x-ray findings. He allowed me to observe her first chiropractic treatment and this experience took me to a new level of respect for the chiropractic profession."

"My passion for wanting to help sick people get well was aroused. I was intrigued by the chiropractic philosophy of natural healing and that's when I decided I wanted to be a chiropractor."

Dr. Don Asks some important questions of interest to Toronto residents - Chiropractor Toronto Dr. Don Asks...

Why is a "slipped disc" unlikely?
Separating each spinal vertebra is a disc. Its fibrous outer ring holds in a jelly-like material. Because of the way a disc attaches to the spinal bones above and below it, it can't actually "slip." However, a disc can bulge, tear, herniate, thin and collapse. But it can't slip.
Is a muscle spasm a cause or an effect?
With the knee-jerk use of muscle relaxers, you'd think it was a cause. But it's an effect. Chiropractors know that bones don't move unless muscles move them. And muscles don't contract unless commanded by the nervous system. That's why your nervous system is the focus of our Toronto chiropractic practice.
