Spinal screening in children sits alongside general musculoskeletal complaints, and several regulated professions work in this building. More than one can be seen in a visit. Assessment decides what applies. Parents hear the reasoning throughout.

Who We Are
Mel Lastman Square, Yonge at Sheppard and the Route East
North York patients travel east along Highway 7 from the Yonge Street and Sheppard Avenue area, continuing east through Markham toward McCowan Road.
Screening a child’s back for a spinal curve is straightforward and takes minutes. What it produces is a question rather than a diagnosis, because confirming a curve and deciding what to do about it belongs with a specialist and usually involves imaging. Chiropractic care does not correct a curve, and that is said plainly rather than left ambiguous. Screening takes only minutes. A curve found means referral. Imaging belongs with a specialist. Nothing here corrects a curve.
- Multidisciplinary Team
Chiropractors, physiotherapists, and registered massage therapists collaborating under one roof, so your care is coordinated, not fragmented.
- Movement Based Approach
We assess how your body actually moves, then build a treatment plan that restores function from the foundation up. Kinetic. Core. Foundation.
“Screening finds a question. A specialist answers it.”
That is the honest description of what happens here. A screening examination can identify asymmetry worth investigating, and everything after that point sits with a physician and an orthopaedic specialist rather than with this clinic. Referral is arranged with records.
