Which cases do you enjoy treating? Why?
Although I appreciate the opportunity to treat any case, I particularly enjoy working with patients with detailed concerns. I appreciate learning all about a person’s lifestyle, activities, and hobbies, because then I can see the full picture of everything that may have led up to their visit to the clinic. Additionally, I enjoy integrating massage therapy and chiropractic care, both of which I am proud to provide.

What are the top 3 treatments that you specialize in?
Although I enjoy treating all patients, I have significant interest and extra training in the treatment of patients with TMJ (jaw) disorders, headaches, and the provision of supportive care for athletes and for individuals throughout pregnancy.

What are you proud of in your practice?
Although exercise and manual therapy are the cornerstones of rehabilitation, one of my favourite parts of treatment is discussing the lifestyle factors that may be contributing to a patient’s concern. These can range from the nature of their work set-up or their exercise routine to the way they approach their favourite hobbies. In doing so, I am often able to provide patients with lasting relief from chronic conditions.

Why should patients choose you as their provider instead of others in the area?
One thing I focus highly on is patient education. I firmly believe in taking any extra time needed with my patients so that they don’t only receive a diagnosis, but a full understanding of their complaint and all of its contributing factors. I pride myself on seeing the patient as a whole, and not only looking at their complaint, but factoring in ergonomics, habits, nutrition, and anything else the patient requires to not only make a full recovery, but conquer their pain.
