My journey into chiropractic began with a serious low back injury. I felt immediate excruciating pain with my accident. After two weeks of therapy and medications I was not any better. In fact, my digestive system began to shut down and I could not walk up-right so much so that at one point I had to crawl to the washroom. My situation was dire. I knew I had to try something different. That was when my father suggested I see his chiropractor. After that appointment, I left the office with at least 80% relief in my symptoms. To me, this was nothing short of a miracle. I thought to myself, “If I could help one person the way I have been helped today it would all be worth it.”
When I reflect on my career thus far, I realize I have had the good fortune of meeting and helping thousands of people. I owe a great deal of the skills I have to Palmer College of Chiropractic where I learned and embraced the concept of the body as a “self-healing mechanism.” Every person intuitively knows and understands this, however, many do not know that chiropractic is a beautiful way to unlock our innate healing potential.
My continued thirst for knowledge has led me to how the brain effects and influences our entire physiology and therefore our entire body as well as any disease. Koren Specific Technique has answered many questions I had about the brain/body connection. I have seen amazing results practicing KST in my office. I cannot wait for the next phase of my career when the evidence of the chiropractic adjustment influencing the brain, surfaces. I have seen this evidence live time on an EEG (measuring brain wave activity) as a Doctor of Chiropractic adjusts a patient and the positive results recorded is amazing.
Outside of the clinic, Dr. Erin and I have 2 fabulous active and healthy children and a loveable black Labrador Retriever. We are an active family that enjoys mountain biking at Hardwood Hills in the summer and downhill skiing in the winter. Our whole family enjoys all the benefits of Chiropractic care as we truly practice at home what we teach to our patients in the clinic. We invite you to our clinic so that we may teach you about how to have a healthier brain, healthy spine and nervous system and therefore a healthier life.
