Chiropractic is a hands on evidence based discipline that can improve your quality of life. It uses adjustments and mobilization of all joints of the body, especially the vertebrae of the spine, to restore function to the neuromusculoskeletal system (muscles, fascia, tendon, ligaments, joints, nerves). Chiropractic adjustments are gentle but powerful. They restore the mechanical function of joints that have reduced movement, while also reducing pain and inflammation, helping to remove interference to nerve function, and regulating the autonomic nervous system (which is responsible for fight, flight, or freeze reactions in times of stress).
Chiropractic adjustments are gentle but specific and can have the following positive effects:
Chiropractors are primary care health care practitioners which means that no referral is necessary and they are educated and licensed to make diagnoses. The scope of this practice extends beyond the physical treatments and can include, exercise prescription, rehabilitation techniques, nutritional advice, and lifestyle counselling to facilitate lasting changes to patients’ health and well-being.
Chiropractors treat people with a variety of problems including but not limited to:
Acupuncture is one branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine, a system that has been used for over 5,000 years. It involves the insertion of extremely fine needles at specific points to stimulate, restore, and balance the flow of Qi (Chi).
This modality is based on the concept that Qi, vital life force energy, flows throughout the body via 14 channels called meridians. Meridians are accessible at 350 “acu” points throughout the body. Each meridian is connected to an organ system and function. Yin and Yang are the two complementary aspects of Qi. As long as Qi flows freely and the organs function in harmony the body remains healthy. When the flow of energy becomes restricted or obstructed due to a number of causes, including excess stress, balance of energy is disrupted. This affects function of organs and related systems and ultimately our whole being. This system of medicine sees no separation between our aspects, mind-body-spirit. Medical or Anatomical Acupuncture is based on anatomy, physiology, and current western medical models and evidence.
Western medicine acknowledges the benefits of Acupuncture:
At Health Focus Healing we use a combination of anatomical acupuncture and traditional acupuncture, overlaying the knowledge and understanding of both systems, as appropriate for each individual.
Craniosacral therapy is a sensitive, light touch therapy. The skull (cranium) and sacrum are actually physically connected by a 3 layered membrane that protects the brain and spinal cord. Cerebrospinal fluid that circulates within this membrane has a specific rhythm. When bones are misaligned or there is excess tension in the membranes and fascia of the body, this rhythm is affected and so is the balance of the nervous system. The practitioner facilitates a natural unwinding of tension to improve the function of the body allowing its natural healing process.
Craniosacral therapists treat people with a variety of problems including but not limited to:
When something stressful happens such as injury, accident, trauma, daily stress from physical, emotional, mental, or even spiritual causes, it impacts our body and our being as a whole. Energy from incidents like this can go right through us, or dissipate within us, but more often than not it gets held inside us becoming, what is referred to in craniosacral therapy as, energy cysts. These areas accumulate stresses and can be sources of triggers for more discomfort physically, emotionally or mentally. at its core, Craniosacral Therapy addresses the clearing of these energy cysts allowing the space for free flowing internal function.
Shamanism is an ancient healing practice that deals with an often missing element in health care, our spiritual aspect. Based on the belief that we are Spirits in physical form, the expression and care of the soul is important to be considered in relation to one’s physical experience. Shamanism focuses on the unseen realms of energy where the energy of our experiences in life can impact our mind and body. It involves listening, seeing, and sensing deeply to subtle messages. Some people describe sessions as if the practitioner was “reading” their bodies.
Many cultures use healing practices that are focussed on clearing energy blocks from our energy fields to bring balance by healing the separation we have within ourselves and with nature. Our practitioners understand that the electromagnetic field is considered part of our body and being, and that it is important to consider when looking deeper into what it means to be healthy, whole, and balanced. Reconnection is achieved by the skillful use of tools and techniques that are aimed at moving, clearing, increasing and harmonizing energy in order to ultimately facilitate balance in the mind, body, and spirit.
Lifestyle and Wellness Counselling complements many of the therapeutic processes and approaches offered at Health Focus Healing. All our practitioners are intuitive listeners and offer counselling and education in their sessions that are aimed at shifting perspectives, attitudes, feelings and behaviours to achieve whole health through fostering greater self awareness, and compassion. They are supportive guides on your personal journey. These sessions can include discussions, the sharing of strategies to be used in everyday life, prescription of exercises, dietary advice, as well as self-care tools and practices. All of which are aimed to provide greater ease and joy and improve quality of life for each individual based on their own unique needs and concerns.

Whether these be physical, mental or emotional patterns that are not serving you, we will be present with you in finding out what they are, identifying them, and creating an action plan to keep you on track with your wellness goals.

Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF), is a form of non-invasive and safe therapy that works to reduce pain and inflammation, improve energy, circulation, sleep quality, blood pressure, the uptake of nutrients, and the ability to regenerate cells. Ensuring proper cell function through PEMF therapy can give your system the balance and energy it needs to heal.
This therapy is a relaxed experience as patients lie on a specialized mat where vibrations generate an electromagnetic field affecting every cell in the body. After consultation your practitioner will set a customized program based on your individual wellness needs. Scientific literature shows that pulsed low frequency sensory stimulation can produce beneficial physiological as well as psychological health effects. PEMF therapy can help to ensure proper cell function and prevent cell damage while rebalancing and strengthening cells.
All energy is electromagnetic in nature. All atoms, chemicals, and cells produce electromagnetic fields and every organ in the body produces its own signature bioelectromagnetic field. Strong cells are vital to your health and healing process. As we experience more and more stress, support is needed for our natural self healing response to operate efficiently and effectively.
