Back pain, neck pain, and headaches are the most common reasons why Canadians first consult a chiropractor. Every time you overdo, there’s a small amount of damage done to your spine. Vertebrae (the bones of the spine) can slip out of position or move improperly as muscles pull. In a few days the muscles heal, the pain eases, yet the vertebrae stay out of place, creating a chronic but unfelt vertebral distortion.

Jane found to her delight, that with chiropractic treatment, a better chair and new work habits to prevent ongoing injury, she was no longer worn rag

The waterfront is five minute bike ride away. I enjoy the atmosphere of the smaller community and when I want to get away from it all… I am! As a personal introduction, I am originally from Scarborough and have resided in Collingwood for some 24 years now. It has been great to make a home here, raise a family, and serve the community. My interests have ranged through being an assistant soccer coach for my kids’ teams, Beaver and Cub Scout leader, help
