Happy New Year! We wish you all a happy and healthy 2024.

Please note that as of January 1, 2024 you will see a slight increase to our massage therapy and chiropractic fees. We have increased our fees to not only offset the increased cost of doing business but also to bring our fees for service in alignment with the industry/local standard. We have always been below this mark with many clinics around us charging higher rates in addition to GST. We have always included GST in our massage prices and will continue to do that. We believe in the quality of service we provide to our patients and clients and we appreciate your loyalty and understanding.

IMPORTANT

If you are experiencing any of the symptoms that may be associated with COVID-19 prior to your booked appointment please do not come to our office. We ask that you notify us and we will cancel your appointment and reschedule for another time. You will not be charged a late cancellation fee.

Our clinic is located at 3036 Edgemont Blvd. Our entrance from the street is above NEXXMD (2nd floor) and right beside KidsBooks! Look for our sandwich board on the street. Our office is on the second floor and there is no elevator. (We’re helping you get a few extra steps on your iWatch/Fitbit!) :-). There are stairwells from both the front and back of the building!

Chiropractic is a drug-free, non-invasive manual approach to health care. Chiropractors must have an undergraduate degree prior to attending Chiropractic College. Their training consists of four intensive years of chiropractic education, which includes a one year internship under the guidance of a senior clinician where they develop and refine their skills. Chiropractors assess disorders related to the spine, nervous system and joins of the extremities and provide diagnosis, treatment and prevention of those disorders. The primary goal of chiropractic manipulation, also referred to an an adjustment, is to treat areas of decreased movement in the joints of the spine and extremities which can create a reaction in surrounding soft tissues (ligaments, muscles and nerves) resulting in pain, dysfunction and muscular spasm. Dr. Mandy utilizes the following modalities in her treatments: Spinal Manipulative Therapy (SMT)/Adjustments, Soft Tissue Therapy, Kinesio Taping ®, Thumper®, Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), Pre and Post-natal Chiropractic, Webster Technique, and Custom Fitted Orthotics.
