CHIROPRACTIC

Doctors of Chiropractic treat patients of all ages. They examine and make diagnoses in an effort to help them reach their optimal level of health and functional ability! Chiropractic not only reduces existing symptoms, but more importantly reduces interference with the nervous system thereby providing preventative health care and not sick care. Dr. Puja Goyal D.C., utilizes several techniques to address the spine and neuromusculoskeletal system as a whole. Each patient is assessed on an individual basis, and may require one or several of the following gentle and effective techniques: the Diversified Method, Thompson Terminal Method, Activator, Logan Basic, Webster technique and Soft tissue Therapy.

Dr. Goyal is trained and certified in the utilization of the Webster technique which is primarily used in Chiropractic care for pregnant women. Chiropractic has helped many women cope with the drastic changes that accompany a pregnancy. Dr. Goyal has personally  been able to minimize pain and lessen delivery times and has also successfully helped turn Breech babies in preparation for the birthing process.

After birth, many children, whether due to the birthing process or falls and bumps at an early age, will experience a spinal misalignment. It is very important to have children see a Chiropractor from an early age as it will not only minimize or eliminate pain later in life, but can effect every system in their bodies as they develop and grow. Dr. Goyal is certified to treat infants and children. She uses the same technique for pregnant women as it is extremely gentle and effective.

Remember... Chiropractic adds years to your life and life to your years!

MASSAGE THERAPY

Registered Massage Therapists are trained in manipulating the muscles in your body to help you achieve a range of benefits! Massage Therapy helps to: relieve stress, aid with relaxation, relieve muscle tension/stiffness, alleviate discomfort during pregnancy, speed healing of muscles and ligaments, and to reduce swelling and muscle spasms. It is not only a treatment for existing conditions, but is a preventative strategy for minimizing pain and discomfort later in life. Massage can help in this way due to the direct link between active massage therapy and the strengthening of the immune and musculoskeletal systems. In addition to traditional massage therapy, we offer many other, more specialized types of massage therapy:

PREGNANCY MASSAGE - with the Belly Drop Table is an amazing way to treat pregnant women as they progress through the stages of pregnancy. This method of massage not only initiates relaxation and serenity but can help the mom-to-be by reducing pain, helping with digestion and inflammation and in effect keeping baby happy, too!

HOT STONE THERAPY - involves the heating of stones which are used to target specific pressure points while also directly massaging the body. The heat results in contracting and expanding of the blood vessels which increases the metabolism. As a result, the subsequent relaxation of the muscles is more potent.

LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE - aims to support a healthy body through a focus on the lymphatic system. Massage Therapists will aid in the dispersing of toxins with a focus on the lymph nodes, as well as a promotion of a free-flowing system with frequent drainage. The Lymphatic System is responsible for many of the fluids in our bodies, and as such is a crucial component of a healthy immune, circulatory, respiratory, muscular and endocrine system.

We also offer... Myofascial Release, Craniosacral, Visceral Manipulation, Muscle Energy and Bamboo Fusion.

Please note that we have a strict 24-hour cancellation policy, and will have to charge for a missed or cancelled appointment.

MEDICAL COMPRESSION STOCKINGS

“Compression therapy is the application of controlled graduated external pressure to the limb to reduce venous pressure within the limb. By doing this, the blood flow velocity is improved and restored to normal. Wearing compression will reduce the swelling in the lower extremity by aiding the valves in the veins to close which, in turn, moves blood flow up the leg against the pull of gravity.” Sigvaris Compression Therapy

Compression stockings benefit those with vein complaints, pain in the legs or feet, pregnant women, those with sedentary lifestyles, or those who sit or stand for long periods of the day. At the Healthy Family we offer personalized & custom fittings for Sigvaris Compression Stockings. The compression level you need may be prescribed by your physician. The more serious the vascular disease, the higher your compression level will be. Many people wear a lower compression (15-20 mmHg) every day to aid in the venous blood flow and prevent swelling of the ankles and tired, achy legs. Preventative strength compression stockings (15-20 mmHg) do not require a prescription and are available for over-the-counter purchase. You are able to choose from a range of options including colour, style and texture! Drop by today to take a look at the many swatches we have and to ask about coverage under your Extended Health Care Benefits.

ACUPUNCTURE

Acupuncture is the 2,000 year old practice that involves the insertion of very thin needles into the upper layers of skin in very specific points of the body. Acupuncture is unique in its ability to not only help with pain management but increase speed of healing. Acupuncture can also be of great benefit to individuals who experience: infertility, headache & migraine, anxiety & depression, facial paralysis, insomnia, neuralgia, stroke, TMJ, and so much more! Dr. Nisha Thadani H.D., D.Ac. is a licensed Acupuncturist and is also able to treat patients who are interested in receiving Cosmetic Acupuncture to help with the effects of aging, or Cellulite Acupuncture.

COSMETIC ACUPUNCTURE/ CELLULITE ACUPUNCTURE

Cosmetic and Cellulite Acupuncture are effective, non-surgical treatments. They draw on the same principles of Chinese Medicine as regular medical acupuncture. These procedures generally take multiple sessions and can be combined together or with similar cosmetic treatments, as they are complimentary to many other types of anti-aging approaches.

COSMETIC ACUPUNCTURE - aims to reduce the effects of aging. By inserting very thin needles into certain points on the face, local circulation will increase and effectively stimulate the production of collagen. This process may take 5 to 10 years off your face while producing beneficial results for the skin as well. 

CELLULITE ACUPUNCTURE - aims at minimizing the appearance of dimpled skin that results from an excess of fatty deposits in the deeper layers of skin. Although it is difficult to target these fatty deposits with regular exercise, Cellulite Acupuncture can! The insertion of needles aids in circulation and nourishment of the connective skin tissues providing you with smoother feeling legs and firmer looking skin.

HOMEOPATHY

Homeopathic Medicine is a holistic approach to healthcare, which treats the whole person as opposed to treating specific symptoms or illnesses.
