Utilizing an integrated Eastern Traditional Chinese Medicine, Western Osteopathic Manual Therapy, and Neurofunctional Acupuncture multi-system, and bio-psycho models our goal is to get you back into the game with full restoration of health, function, and well-being. Our diagnostic approach does not seek to eliminate pain directly, but instead investigates clinically, the levels of dysfunction associated with a given pain pattern, by looking through the lens of neurological, biochemical, metabolic, muscular, and psycho-emotional levels. Examination and assessment we will determine which muscles are neurologically facilitated or inhibited, which myofascia kinetic chains are not working properly, which tendon/ligaments is injured and which peripheral nerves have developed mechanosensitivity. Specifically, we aim to balance any disturbed neurological activity at every level that has been identified. Understanding all these aspects allows us to design a patient-centred treatment plan.
