Chiropractic
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medical treatment. By inserting fine needles painlessly in specific points on the body, acupuncture stimulates the release of endorphins, which are the body's natural pain-killers. It aids the proper functioning of the hormonal system, decreases inflammation, increases circulation, and breaks up old scar tissue. Stress, poor sleep, low energy, poor digestion, anxiety and depression, allergies, chronic low back pain, headaches and muscle pain all take a toll on our daily lives and general wellness. Acupuncture balances the body's energy or Qi so that these symptoms decrease and in many cases disappear. It can also be used to help relieve menstrual pain and irregularities, aid with fertility issues, aid in quitting smoking and balance out other addictive cravings. By improving the natural flow of Qi through the body, acupuncture removes stagnation and energy obstructions. It is a fast and drug-free way to control pain, speed up recovery from injuries, and assist in the ability to heighten the immune system. At Back In Balance Wellness Centre, we offer various acupuncture treatments including: - Cosmetic acupuncture - Fertility acupuncture - Acupuncture for pain (such as headaches, injuries, digestion) - Acupuncture for physical conditions (such as tendonitis, fibromyalgia, arthritis) - Acupuncture for conditions (such as depression, anxiety, stress, digestion) Please Note: Due to high patient demand for acupuncture and limited availability of appointments, a $30 no show fee will be instituted beginning March 1, 2016. Patients must provide 24-hour advanced notice to cancel appointments.

Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral therapy is a gentle hands-on massage and chiropractic technique that regulates the rhythm of the craniosacral fluid that nourishes the brain and spinal column. The focus is on the bones of the head, spinal column, sacrum and underlining structures. This very light massage is designed to release restrictions that have formed through past injuries, both physical and emotional. By tapping into the inherent wisdom of the body, Craniosacral therapy promotes the body’s natural ability to heal itself at a very deep level. It unwinds past traumas and injuries from the spinal structure to create a feeling of deep release and clearing. Craniosacral therapy is especially beneficial for those who experience chronic migraines and headaches. Besides therapy, we also offer craniosacral massage.

Hot Stone Massage
A traditional Swedish massage technique using the comforting warmth of a heated stone placed in the palm of the practitioner’s hand. This treatment is extremely relaxing and especially wonderful on a cold winter day. The added heat can be both deeply relaxing and help to warm up tight muscles to allow the practitioner to more easily work out those stubborn knots.
Cupping
Cupping is a traditional form of alternative medicine in which an expert places special cups on your skin to create suction. Whether you need help with pain, inflammation or blood flow, cupping is an ideal solution. During this therapy, our experts use cups made of glass, bamboo, earthenware, and silicone. Our therapists are trained in offering cupping therapy.
Body Talk
Body Talk is an innovative and holistic healthcare system that recognizes the profound connection between the mind, body, and emotions. This non-invasive therapy aims to synchronize the body's natural healing mechanisms, allowing for optimal health and well-being. Our practitioners at Back In Balance Wellness Centre are trained in Body Talk techniques to address the underlying causes of physical and emotional imbalances. During a Body Talk session, practitioners use neuromuscular biofeedback to identify areas of imbalance and facilitate communication within the body. This process helps release stored tension, promote self-healing, and restore balance on all levels. Body Talk is effective in addressing a wide range of issues, including stress, chronic pain, digestive disorders, and emotional challenges. At Back In Balance Wellness Centre, our commitment is to provide a comprehensive range of holistic services that cater to your individual needs. Whether you choose acupuncture, chiropractic care, craniosacral therapy, infrared sauna sessions, registered massage therapy, yoga, meditation, or Body Talk, our experienced team is dedicated to supporting your journey to optimal health and well-being. Explore our diverse offerings and embark on a path to balance, vitality, and lasting wellness.
Yoga
The practice of yoga is known to reduce stress, improve concentration, and enhance overall mental health. The physical postures, or asanas, help increase flexibility and balance, while the breathing exercises, or pranayama, promote relaxation and mindfulness. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced yogi, our classes are designed to cater to all levels, fostering a supportive environment for personal growth and transformation. At Back In Balance Wellness Centre, we offer a variety of yoga classes tailored to different levels and needs. Through the combination of postures, breath control, meditation, and ethical principles, yoga promotes flexibility, strength, and inner peace.
Meditation
In the midst of life's daily challenges, finding a moment of stillness and inner peace is essential. Meditation is a powerful tool that allows individuals to cultivate a calm and focused mind. At Back In Balance Wellness Centre, we offer guided meditation sessions to help you embark on a journey of self-discovery and relaxation. Meditation has been scientifically proven to reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and enhance overall well-being. Our experienced instructors will guide you through various meditation techniques, including mindfulness meditation, loving-kindness meditation, and body scan meditation. These practices promote mental clarity, emotional resilience, and a sense of balance in your life.
Orthotics
Whether you’re simply taking a walk or you’re a professional athlete, an activity can put enormous strain on your bones, muscles and tendons. Custom orthotics reduce stress and fatigue, increase agility, improves motion control, corrects body alignment and enhances shock absorption. These specially designed orthotics are a drug-free way to eliminate pain so you can enjoy your everyday daily activities. After a thorough biomechanical examination and analysis of your gait (how you walk), the chiropractor will make recommendations and modify your orthotics specifically to meet your needs. We also offer functional orthotics to relieve your pain and stress.
Infrared Sauna
Heaven on earth comes close to the description of the experience in the infrared sauna. We made sure to get the most healing infrared sauna on the market. Other infrared saunas emit rays between 5 -12 microns. Healthy tissue is at 9.4. Our sauna at Back In Balance Wellness Centre emits healing wavelengths between 8-10 microns, as focused around 9.4 as a sauna can be! Even after just a few sessions, you will notice a difference. Watch symptoms from arthritis, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, and sports injuries release and become more manageable. This simple necessity feels like a luxury as it provides your body with natural detoxification, clearing skin impurities, lowering blood pressure, reducing cortisol levels from stress, and allowing your body to heal and rejuvenate. When you use our infrared sauna, your core body temperature increases, not your surface body temperature like a regular steam sauna, and your body works hard to cool it down. This causes an increase in your heart rate, metabolic rate, and cardiac output, allowing you to burn calories as you sit back, relax, and read a book or take time to meditate. It provides a sensation similar to lying in the warmth of the beautiful sun, all while losing upwards of 600 calories in 30 min! Now, that's a great nap!! Please Note: Not recommended for use while pregnant, within the first 48 hours of an acute joint injury with swelling, or for those with adrenal suppression, multiple sclerosis, lupus, or if using certain prescription drugs.
