He holds a certification in Animal Chiropractic, graduating in 2006 from the Canadian Animal Chiropractic Certification Program, an AVCA certified school.

We're on Islington Ave, between Rexdale Blvd & Albion Rd in the north part of Etobicoke.

Spinal vertebra can get out of alignment or their normal function can be disrupted. This is what we call  a subluxation.

Subluxations can create a number of symptoms, some obvious, some not. The most common is pain. Like their human counterparts, animals in pain will compensate by changing the way they stand or walk. They may shift their weight or avoid certain movements. They may be unable or unwilling to perform certain tasks, even the ones they love to do. In their attempt to avoid pain they might appear to be un-coordinated or they may be less flexible. When the spine is not functioning correctly in one area, stress is placed on another area, causing secondary subluxations in those areas, further complicating the problem.
