Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic care focuses on correcting spinal misalignments to improve overall health. We use manual adjustments and advanced tools like the Activator to restore mobility and reduce nerve interference. Patients benefit from tailored plans addressing chronic pain, posture issues, and injury recovery.
Pediatric Chiropractic
Specialized care for children addresses developmental spinal issues from birth trauma or growth stress. Gentle adjustments help with posture, sleep quality, and musculoskeletal development. Parents report reduced discomfort and improved activity levels in their children following regular treatments.
Pre/Postnatal Care
This service addresses pregnancy-related musculoskeletal changes using Webster Technique and gentle adjustments. It helps alleviate back pain, improve pelvic alignment, and support optimal fetal positioning. Patients experience enhanced comfort throughout pregnancy and easier postpartum recovery.
Massage Therapy
Therapeutic massage reduces muscle tension, improves circulation, and enhances treatment outcomes. Our techniques target specific pain points while promoting relaxation. Combined with chiropractic adjustments, it accelerates recovery from sports injuries and chronic conditions.

Alex does an amazing job with my spine that I always feel like I'm getting a great start to my day whenever I go. She's always busy so you know that she's a well liked chiropractor. Would definitely recommend her to everyone I meet

Dr. Danielle is hands down, the BEST! She is down to earth, informative and just really knows her stuff. She genuinely cares about her patients and wants to help. She has been my saving grace for my neck and back. She is amazing at her job. The only chiropractor that I have ever truly noticed a difference in my body after visiting. If I could give 10 stars, I would! Make an appointment! You will love her!

I have been seeing Dr. Alex for about a year now. Ever since my first appointment, I felt very well taken care of when at the office. The location is great, office environment is friendly, and the treatment I have received has truly been tailored to my health needs. Dr. Alex is very professional and has listened to my health concerns, explained what can be done to assist, and treated accordingly. This is a great clinic!

Dr. Alex is the best! Caring, attentive, extremely knowledgeable and takes the time to explain to the patient what's going on. Dr. Alex has worked wonders for my neck pain and back issues. I also like the friendly staff and cleanliness of the office which made me feel very safe and comforable despite the Covid-19 pandemic. Would highly recommend!

This is the best chiro experience I've had. Over the years, I've gone to several chiropractors and Dr. Alex is by far the most friendly and knowledgeable person in her field. Highly recommended.

My family and I love our visits to University Chiropractic! Dr. Danielle is so personable and lovely, so is the office staff, and we really feel at home there. She adjusts my husband and I and our two kids. I personally have noticed that I hardly wake up with stiff necks anymore, and I have less back pain (busy mom here) since I started seeing her! She has helped my husband immensely with arthritis in his lower back--he is no longer in daily pain since he started seeing her for it.

Dr. Danielle is hands down the best chiropractor I've been to. After having regular chiro visits for over 20 years, I was unable to get in to see my doc during an emergency pain situation and was referred to Dr. Danielle. She completely gave me new -- way more accurate -- information about my issues. She put me on a path of solving my chronic problems as opposed to tolerating them. Changed my life. I am virtually pain free and not needed constant care anymore. In SIX MONTHS. Highly recommended.

Always caring, friendly and knowledgeable. Love the KST. Central location near subway, Loblaws (for a quick stop on the way home) and parking in front.

I highly recommend this team to everyone! Especially pregnant women. I found Dr. Sandra Childers when I was pregnant with my first child 5 years ago and I'm SO glad that I did. She made my pregnancy so much more comfortable and I truly believe set me up for the easiest delivery possible. I've stuck with her and she is great with babies and kids too! My son loves going to the Chiropractor. Dr. Kirk is also amazing and very thorough. They listen to what's really bothering you and they truly care.
