The Clinic offers swedish and deep tissue massage.

Swedish massage is made up of several techniques that are generally used to promote relaxation. It is usually made up of long, soft techniques performed at a slow to medium rhythm. Swedish massage provides a relaxing experience but the pressure can also be deep at times.

Deep tissue massage (also commonly referred to as sports massage) is intended for individuals who are either athletes or have a sports/work related injury. The treatment is more specific to the injured area and can at times produce discomfort. The techniques can be performed at a slow, medium or fast rhythm depending on the stage of healing or if the treatment is pre, during or post sport.

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that provides therapists another tool to tackle stubborn, chronic tendinopathy. By creating a series of acoustic wave pulsations, therapists are able to apply this pressure to a localized treatment area. This technology has been proven successful in the study of treatment of chronic conditions. After an assessment with a therapist to determine if you are a candidate for this treatment, a treatment program will be designed that is suited for your condition which can range between 3 and 6 weeks.
How can shockwave therapy help?

Shockwave therapy is beneficial for patients that have had minimal response to traditional forms of treatment. It is most suited for patients living with chronic (ie. greater than six weeks) tendinopathies that could be a result of sport, overuse or repetitive strain and is most commonly used for fast pain relief and mobility restoration. By triggering the bodies natural healing responses, studies have shown a quick recovery time in patients without the need for painkillers.

Who can benefit from shockwave therapy?

Shockwave therapy can be beneficial to patients with the following conditions:

Feet – heel spurs, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis
Elbow - tennis and golfers elbow
Shoulder – calcific tendinosis of rotator cuff muscles
Knee – patellar tendonitis
Leg – shin splints, iliotibial band friction syndrome
Shoulder – calcific tendinosis of rotator cuff muscles
Back – lumber and cervical spine regions and chronic muscular pain

Our TMJ services consist of treating symptoms and dysfunctions of the head, jaw and neck including headaches, migraine relief, tinnitus, whiplash, arthritis, jaw grinding and more! Services can include intraoral treatment if consented.

Naturopathic Medicine is its own system of medicine. Combining up-to-date clinical research with traditional and natural therapies, naturopathic medicine focuses on supporting the body’s innate capacity to heal. You can see a Naturopathic Doctor (ND) for support with any condition – acute or chronic.

NDs see the entire body as an interconnected system, and this affects the way we view treatments for different conditions. An example of this is how we treat skin conditions such as eczema: rather than just focusing on the visible symptoms, we look for root causes and thus often treat the digestive and or immune system – because these are all interconnected. This approach considers the person’s overall well-being, including physical and emotional health, social and environmental factors, and genetics, and provides a more permanent solution to any health problems.


Massage & Acupuncture

Massage & Acupuncture sessions consist of both massage and medical acupuncture. This service is billed under Massage benefits.
