Our Services
According to the Canadian Chiropractic Association, Chiropractic is a hands-on, non-invasive, and drug-free practice that safely and effectively helps relieve pain and improve the body's overall function; uses various treatments depending on your needs, from manual 'hands-on' adjustment techniques to soft tissue therapy.
At ProActive Health, we customize patient care, using a combination of techniques to increase mobility and decrease symptoms. We focus on removing subluxations to allow optimal nervous system flow. Our patients enjoy the option to book with either Dr Ian or Dr Dana, depending on their current presentation. Dr Paddock is a certified Cox practitioner and treats many disc injuries and low back presentations with his intersegmental spinal decompression table. Dr Dana treats many infants, pregnant women and many patient's suffering with headaches and TMJ pain, using low force techniques - including cranial work.

Massage Therapy
Low Intensity Laser Therapy (LILT) is an adjunctive therapy that may be used to reduce pain, edema and inflammation, while stimulating the healing process. Studies have shown BIOFLEX Laser Therapy may accelerate nerve healing, decreasing nerve pain and paraesthesia. Additionally, laser therapy may reduce scar tissue, increase mitochondrial function and microcirculation, improving cell regeneration and function. This modality is non-invasive and is considered safe & effective. The Bioflex Meditech Class 3B laser is Health Canada and FDA approved as a medical device.
Treatment:
A Light therapy pad is placed directly on the patient's skin, causing a light warming sensation. A typical treatment lasts for half an hour. Patient's usually experience noticeable improvement with 3-10 treatments.
Contraindications to Laser therapy:
Laser treatment should not be used directly over the eyes, thyroid, cancerous tumor, or pregnant uterus.
Laser Treatment
There are many reasons our Chiropractors may suggest custom-fit orthotics to be worn in your shoes. Faulty footwear or prolonged standing on man made surfaces contribute to weakened muscles, subtalar hyperpronation or plantar fasciitis. Most often, we recommend a 3/4 length orthotic, enabling patients to wear them in different shoes. Benefits include, improved lower extremity function, decreased pain, reduced progression of toe crowding and arthritic degeneration.
Prior to booking an appointment for custom-fit orthotics, please check with your extended insurance coverage to ensure *Chiropractic casting is included in your benefit plan. (*some plans only cover Podiatrist or Chiropodist casting) Your insurance may also require a Medical Doctor's note that needs to be obtained, prior to booking.
