What is Chiropractic at Our Clinic?
At our Oakville clinic, Chiropractic Care starts with making the right diagnosis. Dr. Steve and Dr. Jenn treat about 60 different conditions, from head to toe. If they don’t treat the condition you have, they will refer you to another clinic that is better suited to help you.
Chiropractic care at our clinic includes a proper diagnosis and a specialized treatment plan. The treatment will involve a detailed plan using the latest technology and proven techniques to help you feel better.

How Does our Chiropractor Treat?
While Dr. Steve Knighton specializes in spinal care, he is equally skilled in treating all joints and muscles of the body. Our Oakville chiropractic team values collaboration with other healthcare providers to ensure the best outcomes for our patients.
We believe in the importance of preventative care. It’s easier to maintain a healthy, functioning body than to repair it after injury. Regular chiropractic visits help manage everyday wear and tear, keep joints moving, muscles relaxed, and ensure optimal function.
Chiropractic treatment often involves joint manipulation, a quick, shallow thrust to a stiff joint that improves range of motion and reduces pain. The ‘cracking’ sound is simply gas being released from restricted joints.
Dr. Jenn and Dr. Steve are highly trained to deliver safe, effective adjustments, and incorporate a variety of techniques to provide lasting results for our Oakville patients.
Active Release and Trigger Point Therapy:
ART, or Active Release Therapy, is a targeted massage technique designed to loosen tight and painful muscles. Our skilled chiropractors apply pressure to a tight muscle, then shorten and lengthen the muscle by moving the joint closest to the injured area. Trigger point therapy is also used, applying consistent pressure on muscle knots to help loosen the tissue and relieve muscle tension.
Chiropractic Exercise Prescription:
Our chiropractors believe in specific exercise prescription to help strengthen the body to maintain proper alignment and mobility. The exercises are targeted to address weaknesses and are tailored to match the patient’s ability, making the exercise safe and effective.
Interferential Current Therapy (IFC)
IFC involves the application of electrodes to help alleviate pain, increase blood flow, break up scar tissue, and relax the muscles. Our Oakville chiropractors use custom suction IFC machines in our clinic, which are more effective than traditional sticky pads that tend to provide shallower electrical contact. If you’ve been to the clinic before, you know that Dr. Steve is very particular about ensuring that all the treatment equipment is top-quality and operating within the patient’s maximum pain tolerance.
Shockwave Therapy:
Almost all injuries at our chiropractic clinic are treated with shockwave therapy. Shockwave is considered the gold standard for most muscle and tendon conditions and is scientifically proven to help patients recover faster!
Radial Shockwave Therapy uses an air-powered device that delivers a pulse 15 times per second, similar to a bullet being fired back and forth. Most treatments involve between 1,200 and 1,500 pulses. The intensity is controlled based on the patient’s pain tolerance, ranging from 0.3 BAR to an impressive 8.0 BAR.
If you’ve experienced shockwave therapy at our clinic, you know that the penetration depth of our units is unmatched by most shockwave therapies in Oakville. Dr. Steve exclusively uses Shockwave units from Storz and Chattanooga and insists on using the Storz DS20-T transmitter head to achieve 55mm of energy penetration.
Patients love the treatment, and the results speak for themselves. Learn more about Shockwave Therapy!
Oakville Acupuncture:
Dr. Jenn is the acupuncture provider at our Oakville clinic, specializing in a contemporary medical approach to traditional Chinese acupuncture techniques. She effectively uses acupuncture to improve mobility, decrease pain, and treat a variety of conditions. Dr. Jenn’s approach is highly effective for addressing both musculoskeletal issues and emotional stress, including anxiety and daily tension. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain or need stress relief, acupuncture can provide significant benefits, often within just one session. For more information on how acupuncture can help you, visit our Oakville Acupuncture page.
Shockwave Therapy at our Oakville Chiropractic Clinic
If you haven’t had shockwave treatment from one of our chiropractors, you’re missing out. As of 2022, we use shockwave therapy for most patient visits. From shoulder impingement and chronic headaches to back pain, shockwave is the gold standard at our clinic for loosening tight, overworked muscles. Have you been dealing with a chronic hip or ankle issue for years? Shockwave might be the solution for you. Visit our shockwave page for an anatomical diagnosis and to learn more about the treatment!
