About Me
I’ve been a practicing chiropractor since 2009. I graduated from Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto Ontario. After graduation I accepted a job offer in South Australia where I had the privilege of working in two different clinics. One was in rural Murray Bridge and the other was a beachside practice in Adelaide. While in Australia I worked with patients of all ages, ranging from newborns and well into the golden years, as well as amateur and professional athletes in the sports of Soccer, Australian Rules Football and Netball.
You may notice that the office manager is a little bit different than everyone. His name is Sam Elliot and he is a Northern Special that I rescued in 2015. He is very friendly and will often be upstairs or outside during treatment hours. If you want to pet him you are more than welcome however be aware that he is a furball who sheds significantly. For that reason it is also important to note that I will do my best to keep the fur level down however outside of office hours he does have the run of the house.
My Office Manager
You may notice that the office manager is a little bit different than everyone. His name is Sam Elliot (or Sam for short) and he is a Northern Special that I rescued in 2015.
He is very friendly and will come up to greet you at the door. If you are scared of dogs or allergic please let me know so I can ensure he is locked up or outside. Â
Why Visit a Chiropractor?
Uncover the transformative benefits of chiropractic care in a nurturing and personalized environment.
Chiropractic care is a well-established, evidence-informed healthcare discipline that places a strong emphasis on non-invasive, manual techniques to address musculoskeletal issues.
Chiropractors specialize in hands-on approaches, offering diagnosis, treatment, and preventive care for conditions affecting the spine, pelvis, nervous system, and joints. When you visit a chiropractor, you can expect a personalized approach tailored to your unique needs.
The journey to improved health begins with a thorough evaluation, including a detailed medical history and a comprehensive examination. Following this, I will establish a diagnosis and together we will create a treatment plan that you are comfortable with. This plan may include a range of therapies, therapeutic exercises, and non-invasive treatments.
One of the core therapies employed by chiropractors is spinal manipulative therapy (SMT). I’ve undergone specialized training in SMT techniques, enabling me to perform precise and highly-skilled adjustments to the vertebrae of the spine. These adjustments help to restore proper joint motion, enhancing function, and alleviating discomfort.
Chiropractic care is often the primary method of treatment for many conditions, particularly those involving lower back pain. In cases where a multidisciplinary approach is advisable, our chiropractors collaborate with other healthcare professionals to ensure comprehensive care. In situations where additional conditions coexist, chiropractic care can compliment or support other medical treatments by addressing musculoskeletal aspects associated with the condition.
At Catalyst Chiropractic Studio, I am committed to your musculoskeletal health and overall well-being. Trust me to provide evidence-informed, patient-centred solutions tailored to your individual needs, and let me help you achieve a healthier, pain-free life.
