We are proud to continue our support of UXC, Uxbridge’s cross-country mountain bike race team. As the official manual therapy providers of the team, it is our job to make sure the racers perform at the top of their game. Whether it is helping them get over an injury suffered in training or racing, or helping them avoid injuries in the first place – they know we’ve got them covered. We look forward to another great season of training, racing, and having fun on bikes! Happy tra

It’s been a long time coming, but we’re delighted to say that our second clinic is up and running. Having grown up in Beaverton myself, it was a natural choice for our second location. Beaverton and the surrounding area have long needed quality chiropractic care, and we couldn’t be happier to be the ones to bring it there! We know we have something great to offer, and we’re sure you’ll agree too. If you are in pain, have a sports injury, or just want to keep yourself in tip-t

We learn a lot as we develop and grow. Many things that are common sense to us now were not innately understood as babies. Rarely do I eat rocks these days, and for the most part I can use words to express myself as opposed to simply screaming and crying. However, one area where we regress as we age is in our movement patterns. We pick up bad habits, and we lose the ability to move effortlessly and with proper control of our muscles. Developmental kinesiology refers to the de

We are incredibly excited to welcome Anton Filatov, Registered Massage Therapist, to the Oak Ridges Health team! When you’re the son of an Olympic gymnast, and have a background in competitive coaching yourself, you understand the demands that athletes place on their bodies, and how to help them stay injury free. That doesn’t mean Anton only works with athletes, however. Using his skills and experience, he can help anyone achieve the results they’re looking for. Anton will pe

You can use the analogy of not all cars are created equal, or not all coffee is great. But it probably makes more sense to compare ourselves to another profession – teachers. Within the teaching profession, you have those who posses that something ‘extra’ that makes them truly amazing teachers. You also have those who teach according to the curriculum, and yet the students don’t come away with the same understanding of the subject matter. After 9 years of post-secondary educa

Something we get asked a lot is, "I've been to a chiropractor before. What makes you different?" We love this question because it gives us an opportunity to explain what we do and how we can help you. Using feedback from patients, I’ll try and highlight what we think sets us apart. First and foremost, our appointment times are longer. Typically, a treatment takes 30 minutes, sometimes less, sometimes more. This gives us enough time to work on your muscles and joints, but also

We probably don’t have to try too hard to convince you that getting a massage when you’re pregnant is a good idea. You’re tired, your muscles ache, you’ve got a million things on your plate – a massage would, if nothing else, help you relax for at the least the hour that you’re on the table. However, it goes beyond simply giving you a place to relax. Numerous studies have examined the effects of massage therapy on pregnant women and found that things like leg pain, back pain,

If you have been hurt in a car accident, here are some things you should know: 1. You are entitled to treatment to help you recover from your injuries. It’s true, if you were injured in a car accident, your automobile insurer will pay to help get you back to being you. 2. Most injuries associated with motor vehicle accidents (MVAs) are classified as minor injuries. Minor injuries include most injuries commonly associated with car accidents such as sprains, strains, whiplash,

Oak Ridges Health Group is excited to offer massage therapy! It took us a long time to find a registered massage therapist that we felt would complement the clinic and offer something of value to our patients. But the wait is over – Ashley McMillan is the latest and greatest member of the ORHG team. She shares the same passion and commitment to patient care as we do. Whether referencing her skills, knowledge, or personality, the feedback we have received from patients has bee

Lately, it seems that most of the patients walking through our door are doing so because they are experiencing hip pain with movement or activity. The next few posts will shed some light on the anatomy of the area, and things we commonly see that cause people’s hip pain – and best of all, things you can do to get rid of, or prevent hip pain from occurring. To begin with, let’s look at the area and get a basic understanding of the involved structures. The hip joint is the arti
