Chiropractic Care

Our team of chiropractors use a bright approach to help you achieve your healthcare goals. With an individualized, evidence-based and patient-centred approach, we work with each patient to meet their goals and expectations through a variety of treatment offerings including spinal manipulative therapy (also known as an adjustment), mobilizations, soft tissue therapy, medical acupuncture, ergonomic and postural advice, rehabilitation programs, and orthotics.

Acupuncture

Provided by Bright’s Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Practitioner, acupuncture is the insertion of thin, sterile metal needles to stimulate specific points of the body that reach meridians. Insertion at specific acupuncture points along the meridians help to regulate the flow of qi throughout the body and restore health. TCM Acupuncturists treat many conditions, both acute and chronic, including pain, infertility, digestive issues, stress and anxiety, to name a few. Acupuncture can also be used to manage symptoms of pregnancy.

Pregnancy Care

There are many changes that occur in pregnancy - most notably, a growing babe and bump which commonly leads to shifts in posture and centre of gravity. These changes coupled with hormonal events that occur during pregnancy, like relaxin, can lead to many aches and pain. While it may be common, it doesn’t mean that you have to endure an uncomfortable or painful pregnancy. Chiropractic care is a gentle and effective way to help support patients during their pregnancy through manual techniques as well as stretches and exercises for home care.

Pediatric Care

Chiropractic care is a gentle treatment that can help with pediatric musculoskeletal health complaints including nursing difficulties (such as latching), muscle imbalances and spinal health, to name a few. Additionally, as the infant grows, tummy time and learning to hold their head up, sit, crawl and walk are all motor milestones that affect their development - and ones we want to monitor. As your child begins to explore and participate in regular childhood activities, injuries soon follow with bumps, bruises and tumbles. These are all important times to have your child examined by a chiropractor.

Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy

Pelvic health physiotherapy is an emerging area within physiotherapy and urogynecology that involves the assessment and treatment of pelvic floor dysfunctions across the lifespan, including puberty, pregnancy, postpartum, and peri/postmenopausal stages. Pelvic floor dysfunctions can present in a variety of ways such as pain, weakness, leakage, and core dysfunction. We understand that pelvic health and chronic pain can be difficult to discuss so during your consultation, our physiotherapist will strive to create a safe space for you to share your concerns, which may include bladder leakage, painful sex, or pelvic pain.

Registered Massage Therapy

During a deep tissue massage at Bright Health Co., our RMT will utilize medium to deep pressure within a therapeutic flow based on the individual needs of the patient. Additional techniques that may be performed include stretching and active dynamic releases which are most beneficial for individuals leading an active lifestyle. This specialized treatment offers a range of advantages, including enhanced flexibility and range of motion, improved blood circulation, and the reduction of restrictions in muscles and fascia.

Naturopathic

Naturopathic Medicine is a non-invasive and preventative approach to health management. By using an health promoting model that is individualized, evidence-based and patient-centred, our naturopathic doctor (ND) uses a bright approach to help you achieve your health and wellness goals. Based on the health concerns and symptoms presented, our ND utilizes a variety of treatment modalities including clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, acupuncture, cupping, homeopathy, and lifestyle counselling to support each patient.

Postpartum Care

The transition into the postpartum period, is a transformative time for both the parent and child. During this period, our Bright Naturopathic Doctor (ND) provides comprehensive and personalized care to support parents at every stage of their journey.

Various treatment options may be used including nutritional guidance, herbal therapies, supplemental support, stress reduction techniques, lifestyle recommendations to manage discomforts, as well as acupuncture.

Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy assesses your musculoskeletal concerns, including joint, nerve, and persistent pain conditions. During a consultation, our Bright physiotherapist will carefully assess how your nervous and musculoskeletal systems function. This may involve moving you through different functional movements to assess your breathing, muscle activation, strength, and flexibility while considering your pain and comfort levels to ensure a plan of management that is individualized and effective for you.
