Gentle, focused chiropractic care in Oakville designed to look deeper than symptoms and help your body function at its best. Our passion for natural health and healing allows us to provide high-quality care while showing compassion, encouragement and understanding.
NeuroStructural Correction
A Deeper Chiropractic Approach
Traditional chiropractic treatments often focus on relieving symptoms like pain, muscle tension, and limited movement. At Foundation Chiropractic Co., we take a different approach via NeuroStructural correction.
Through NeuroStructural Correction, we look for structural shifts in the spine that may be contributing your symptoms.
Instead of only managing discomfort, our goal is to correct the underlying issue, support better function, and help create a healthier foundation for long-term relief.
What is a Structural Shift?
Just like blood pressure, body temperature, vision, and cholesterol have healthy normal ranges, spinal structure also has an ideal normal.
At Foundation Chiropractic Co., we look for significant structural shifts away from “that normal” because those shifts can affect posture, create tension or pain, and interfere with the nerves that connect the brain and body.
Rather than only managing symptoms, our goal is to identify and correct the primary structural issue so the body can function closer to normal and secondary symptoms can improve naturally.
What are Secondary Conditions?
When a structural shift affects the spine, it can put pressure on the nerves and interfere with communication between the brain and body. We call these symptoms “secondary conditions” because they may be the result of a deeper structural issue.
Depending on where the shift is located and which nerves are affected, these secondary conditions can show up in different ways, such as numbness and tingling, headaches, joint pain, muscle tension, digestive concerns, or changes in overall function.
NeuroStructural Correction targets the cause of your health concerns
Many patients come to us with a variety of symptoms. Our focus is to look for underlying NeuroStructural issues that may be affecting how the body moves, communicates, and functions.

What are my options?
There are many healthcare options that focus on relieving pain, reducing tension, improving movement, or calming inflammation, including medication, physiotherapy, massage, injections, and surgery when needed.
At Foundation Chiropractic Co., our focus is different. We work to restore the structural integrity of the spine so the body can function and heal as well as possible.
If you find that our approach is not the right fit, we will gladly refer you to another trusted healthcare professional who can help.
What can we do for you?
At Foundation Chiropractic Co., we focus on correcting your spinal structure. Our doctors are among a very select group of chiropractors who have additional education and are certified in Torque Release Technique (TRT).
The adjustments are specific, precise, gentle, and do NOT involve any forceful twisting or manipulating. This specificity allows for maximum acceptance so that we can begin to restore normal structure and get your body working the way it was designed to function.
Our Techniques
Torque Release Technique
The doctors at Foundation Chiropractic Co. are among only a handful of chiropractors in Canada that have attained Certified Advanced Proficiency in Torque Release Technique, a truly modern, specific, and gentle chiropractic technique that does not involve any forceful twisting or manipulating. We commit ourselves to providing you with the highest standard of care possible.
History
With chiropractic having entered its second century, it is essential that a truly up-to-date, functional, vitalistic, scientific model go along with it. Torque Release Technique (TRT) was developed by combining the best elements of the seven most widely used and researched techniques in chiropractic history.
As we gently and methodically adjust specific areas of your spinal cord, we change the degree of tension in the central nervous system in an effort to restore proper body function, reduce pain, and optimize health. TRT is safe, effective, and gentle enough for all age groups.
Diversified / Full-Spine Technique
Diversified technique is one of the most established hands-on chiropractic methods used to improve spinal motion, alignment, and overall joint function. In our office, these adjustments are specific, comfortable, and tailored to what your spine actually needs.
This full-spine approach allows us to assess how different regions of the spine are moving together, from the neck and mid-back to the low back and pelvis. When certain joints are restricted or not moving properly, it can affect posture, mobility, comfort, and how your body functions day to day.
At Foundation Chiropractic Co., we use Diversified adjustments when a manual, hands-on approach is the right fit for the patient. The goal is not forceful twisting or generic cracking. It is precise correction, improved movement, and better function through focused chiropractic care.
Chiropractic care During Pregnancy
The Webster Chiropractic Technique for Prenatal Patients
We provide chiropractic care during pregnancy to support comfort, pelvic balance, and nervous system function as your body changes and prepares for birth.
The Webster technique is especially effective for pregnant women. It involves a specific chiropractic assessment and gentle adjustment. The goal of the adjustment is to balance pelvic muscles and ligaments and improve nervous system function. In normalizing maternal physiology, it allows for a better pregnancy and birth.
We understand that keeping your baby safe and healthy while pregnant is your top priority – receiving a specific, gentle chiropractic adjustment is the best way to achieve that goal.
Some of the amazing benefits of chiropractic care that mothers may notice are reduced back pain during pregnancy, reduced morning sickness, easier labour, reduced labour time and healthier babies.
Curious about what to expect from your first prenatal visit? Check out our blog post on prenatal chiropractic care here!
“The Webster technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and diversified adjustment. The goal of the adjustment is to reduce the effects of subluxation and/or SI (hip) joint dysfunction. In so doing neuro-biomechanical function in the sacral/pelvic region is improved.”
– International Chiropractic Paediatric Association
common questions about Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy
Here are a few common questions about pregnancy chiropractic care and what to expect at Foundation Chiropractic Co.
Can I receive Chiropractic care if I am pregnant?
During pregnancy, the spine, pelvis, and nervous system go through major changes as the body adapts structurally, hormonally, and emotionally. At Foundation Chiropractic Co., we provide gentle NeuroStructural Chiropractic care to help support comfort, pelvic stability, and better function throughout pregnancy.
Our office uses specialized adjusting pillows so moms can lie comfortably and safely during care. Dr. Jennifer and Dr. Shamira are certified in the Webster Technique, a gentle chiropractic analysis and adjustment designed specifically for pregnant women.
Retained Primitive Reflexes and Chiropractic
Primitive reflexes are early reflex patterns that help babies survive, feed, move, and develop. These reflexes are expected to fade within the first few months of life, but when they remain active longer than they should, they may affect coordination, sensory processing, development, and everyday function.
At Foundation Chiropractic Co., we offer primitive reflex examinations to help identify retained reflexes and better understand how they may be affecting your child. Along with gentle paediatric chiropractic care, Dr. Jennifer and Dr. Shamira educate caregivers on primitive reflex remediation exercises to support healthy development.
From your first conversation to your exam results, we keep the process simple, clear, and comfortable so you know exactly what we’re checking, why it matters, and how we can help.

Dr. Jennifer and Dr. Shamira are certified through the International Chiropractic Paediatric Association and use very gentle, specific adjustments for babies. If you have questions about chiropractic care for your child, we invite you to schedule a complimentary consultation with our office.
What to expect?
From your first conversation to your exam results, we keep the process simple, clear, and comfortable so you know exactly what we’re checking, why it matters, and how we can help.
Step 1 COMPLIMENTARY CONSULTATION
All prospective patients are asked to fill out our health history forms. A one-on-one consultation will take place between you and one of our doctors.
This allows us the opportunity to discuss your past and current state of health, your health goals, and how our unique approach can help you attain them.
Following the consultation you can choose to immediately proceed with our structural exam, or choose a later date that fits your schedule.
Step 2 NEUROSTRUCTURAL CHIROPRACTIC EXAMINATION
Our comprehensive exam process will evaluate the level of function in your nervous system, as well as the overall physical structure of your spine. This will involve:
– Structural 3D Analysis
– Infrared Spinal Thermography
– Chiropractic Structural X-ray Analysis (if necessary)
We use state-of-the-art technology so that we are never guessing with your health or the health of your loved ones. All testing is intended to assist our doctors in locating the CAUSE of your health complaints.
Step 3 PATIENT RECOMMENDATION CONFERENCE
Once our doctors have reviewed your exam results to determine that you are in fact a candidate for chiropractic care in our office, you will return for your recommendation conference.
A thorough explanation of your health status and individualized recommendations for your care will be given. Any additional questions you may have will also be answered at this time.
If you so choose, you will also receive your first specific chiropractic adjustment at Foundation Chiropractic Co. to begin restoring proper structure, function, and healing in your body.
The Foundation Focus
In addition to our unique brand of chiropractic adjustments and traction exercises performed in-office, we also educate our patients on specific stretches and postural exercises that can be done at home between visits. Doing this ultimately leads to better results and higher patient satisfaction.
