Chiropractic is a non-invasive, evidence-based, hands-on health care discipline that focuses on your nerves and spine. Chiropractic care involves primarily the chiropractor’s hands to provide adjustments to the spine, providing diagnosis, treatment and preventive care for disorders related to the spine, nervous system and joints of the musculoskeletal system. After taking your history, performing your exam and establishing your diagnosis, your chiropractor will develop and recommend a comprehensive treatment/management plan that you can carry out with them. Your chiropractor may recommend therapeutic exercise and other supportive, non-invasive therapies.
The foundation of chiropractic care is the spinal adjustment, which could involve a variety of adjustment techniques. Advanced training in spinal adjusting ensures that your chiropractor is highly-skilled in providing precise adjustments to the vertebrae of the spine, adjusting joint motion to restore proper movement and alignment, and improve function.
For many conditions, such as low back pain, sciatica or neck pain, chiropractic care is the primary method of conservative treatment. When a multi-disciplinary approach is advised, your chiropractor will coordinate care with other health care professionals such as a registered massage therapist, physiotherapist or acupuncturist. Where other conditions exist, chiropractic care may complement or support medical or other treatment options. Chiropractic care may also be used to provide symptomatic relief for patients with chronic conditions.

Your registered massage therapist (RMT) will specifically address the muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and joints for the purpose of optimizing your health. Massage techniques can vary from Swedish to Thai, from deep tissue or trigger point therapy to fascia release therapy. Your massage therapist will use their knowledge of anatomy and physiology to combine the techniques best suited for your body and your desired goals for your therapy session.
Massage therapy has a therapeutic effect on the body and optimizes health. Physical dysfunction and pain and the effects of stress can be relieved or prevented through massage therapy. Physical function can be developed, improved and maintained with ongoing care.
Various specialized movements of the hands, over the skin or clothes, make up the massage therapy treatment. Your registered massage therapist will work with your level of pain tolerance during each session, and your treatment can be modified or stopped at any time should the treatment become uncomfortable.

Acupuncture is a technique in which practitioners stimulate specific points on the body—most often by inserting thin needles through the skin. It is one of the practices used in traditional Chinese medicine. Utilizing traditional Chinese medicine principles of health and illness, your acupuncturist will assess you using a holistic approach to body health, function and dysfunction.
Several studies suggest that acupuncture may help ease types of musculoskeletal pain that are often chronic such as low-back pain, neck pain, and osteoarthritis/knee pain. Acupuncture may also help reduce the intensity, duration, and frequency of tension headaches as well as prevent migraine headaches. Therefore, acupuncture is a safe, non-invasive, non-surgical, drug-free option for people with chronic pain to consider. The effects of acupuncture on the brain and body and how best to measure them are only beginning to be understood.
Relatively few complications from using acupuncture needles or related techniques have been reported. Still, complications have resulted from use of nonsterile needles and improper delivery of treatments. By choosing a registered acupuncturist for your treatment, you can be assured that your practitioner is being held to a higher standard by their regulatory body, and are employing safe needling practices, such as the use of pre-sterilized, disposable needles, proper disposal of used needles in medical sharps containers, protective gloves and sanitization and sterilization practices including rubbing alcohol as needed and appropriate.

About the community of Kleinburg
Like many other villages in Vaughan during the 1800s, Kleinburg developed along one of the many rivers in the area. Vaughan Township saw the rise of sawmills and gristmills to mill lumber into wood and grain into flour, respectively. John Nicholas Kline first established the area in 1848 when he purchased property to the west of what is now Islington Avenue, and built Kline Mills to serve the local community. This historic village is bordered by Stegman’s Mill Road to the east, and what is now Highway 27 to the west.
Although it’s been thought that the village was named after him, it’s also been said that the present spelling of Kleinburg comes from the German words klein for little and burg for mountain. Both stories would be apt, as there is hilly terrain in and around the village. Just four years after settling in Kleinburg and building these mills, the largest ones between Barrie and Toronto, they were purchased by the Howland brothers. Henry Howland, one of the brothers, was Kleinburg’s first postmaster and also served as Reeve of Vaughan Township.
Presently, Kleinburg is home to the McMichael Canadian Art Collection, which features several works by Aboriginal artists, but is more widely known for its extensive collection of works by the Group of Seven artists. The art gallery’s property also includes a small cemetery where the Group of Seven artists have been laid to rest.
