Chiropractic: Chiropractic is a branch of the health sciences which focuses upon the body's neuromusculoskeletal system. A chiropractor is concerned with how your body's skeletal and nervous system is functioning. Since your spine is the key highway for your central nervous system, a chiropractor is trained to use a variety of diagnostic methods to examine and treat your spine and bone structure. Although the major focus of chiropractic is on the spine and central nervous system, your chiropractor is concerned with the wellness of your whole body. Since your nervous system determines how well you feel physically, mentally, and emotionally, many problems you are experiencing may be related to a problem with your spine and nervous system.

Massage Therapy: Massage Therapy is a government regulated health care profession. Massage therapists have a 3 year diploma from a recognized massage therapy school, and must pass provincial examinations. Massage Therapists are experts in helping you with problems occurring in the soft tissues of your body. After assessing your condition, a therapist treats and prevents physical dysfunction and pain in the muscle and connective tissue through massage therapies that develop, maintain, rehabilitate or augment physical function or relieve pain.

Acupuncture: This is a physical form of treatment in which small solid needles are inserted into the skin at specific points, at varying depths, and left in place or manipulated.  Originally acupuncture was part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and empirically established medical system with more than 2,500 years of documented existence.  In Western medicine, acupuncture has been adopted and successfully incorporated into medical or allied health practices as medical acupuncture, combining traditional clinical information with knowledge from the biomedical sciences.

Ion Cleansing Detoxification Foot Treatments: This is a simple procss that removes cellular level toxins from the organs responsible for elimination from the body: the kidneys, colon, skin, liver and lymphatic system.  Similar to a footbath, the ionizer uses water as a conductive medium. The conductivity of ions in the water allows for a mild field of energy to flow from an array in the bath through the feet and around the whole body.
