Unlike many chiropractors that only address joint pain, Muscle & Joint Clinic incorporates state-of-the-art techniques and complementary therapies, including on-site massage and physiotherapy sessions, to address both muscles and joints. This integrative treatment helps to ensure long-term, pain-free mobility - while also reducing the chances of re-injury.

Experts estimate that as much as 80% of the population will experience a back problem at some time in their lives.* The low back needs to be strong enough to lift the groceries out of the backseat and flexible enough to pick up the clothes off the floor. Yet, the delicate balance between a strong and mobile low back is disrupted by many of our daily activities.

You have two types of joints in your body: joints that move in many different directions and joints that move in one direction. Joints that move in just one direction are designed to withstand a substantial load. However, they do not react well when forced to move in any other way. Your knee joint is one such joint.

Shoulder pain was associated with an injury in one third of office visits with U.S. primary care physicians.* The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body. But this mobility comes at a cost: stability. Shoulder problems, including pain and limited range of motion, are common complaints due to the shoulder's instability.

Muscle & Joint Clinic is an integrative chiropractic practice that combines chiropractic care, therapeutic massage and physiotherapy to help active people release tight muscles, remobilize stiff joints and restore overall strength to ensure long-term, pain-free activity.

To make your initial visit easier and more productive, please wear (or bring) comfortable clothing that allows exposure of the focused treatment area (e.g., back, leg, etc.), as appropriate.For example, if you have knee pain, shorts are a good option. If you have shoulder plain, a sleeveless top or tank top is a good option.
