Chiropractic Therapy
Chiropractic is an ever expanding and cost-effective branch of the health care profession concerned with correction of neuromusculoskeletal injuries of the spine and extremities (i.e. shoulder, knee, wrist). Chiropractors are primary health care practitioners that utilize conservative, non-invasive treatments such as joint manipulation, massage, physical modalities (i.e. ultrasound, electrical muscle stimulation, low energy laser), Active Release Technique ® (ART®) and exercises to name a few, depending on the injury. Dr. Erin A. White is also a certified kinesiologist with an interest in implementing customized, active exercise rehabilitation programs. Our patients include athletes, motor vehicle accident victims, WSIB claims, and range in age from children to seniors.

Custom Fit Orthotics

Custom fit orthotics are specialized insoles made to correct your specific foot, knee, hip or low back condition. Orthotics work on the feet similar to the way braces work on the teeth - by exerting gentle, consistent pressure to bring foot muscles and bones into proper functioning position. They fit comfortably in shoes, boots, skates etc. and are usually made of molded thermoplastic. The orthotics are made from precise, customized impressions taken from your feet. The symptoms of faulty foot and lower limb mechanics include: localized foot pain, bunions, arch and heel pain, leg and knee pain and hip and back pain. Orthotics are not for everyone but conditions that may be improved with custom fit orthotics include: shin splints, plantar fasciitis, Jumper's knee (tendonitis), iliotibial band syndrome, metatarsalgia, diabetic neuropathy, low back pain and hip tendonitis to name a few. After a thorough biomechanical exam and gait analysis Dr. White can determine if orthotics may help you.

Kinesio Taping

Kinesio Taping is a very popular and effective form of treatment for many conditions. Kinesiotape is a specially-designed, heat-sensitive tape that is wrapped around the muscles and offers the patient or athlete extra support and stability during rehabilitation. By combining the motion of the muscles and the stretch component of the tape, Kinesiotaping enhances the natural healing power of the body. This therapy originated in Japan and the results are incredible.

Kinesiotape can be used for various pains and disorders, as a preventive measure for injury and for rehabilitation. Taping will support muscles before and after exercise. For athletes, it is possible to treat a joint injury while protecting it by using Kinesiotape in conjunction with conventional sports taping.

You may have seen Kinesio Taping, the bright orange, blue or pink tape on many Olympic athletes (i.e. beach volleyball players) during the recent Beijing games.

Kinesio Taping can be used for a range of conditions such as: Achilles tendonitis, Low Back Pain, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, tennis elbow, shin splints, plantar fasciitis, patellar-femoral syndrome etc.
