Dr. Craig was born and raised in the beautifully scenic coast of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. He spent a lot of his childhood exploring the outdoors, drawing, playing music with friends and family, and hanging out with his Siberian husky, Sparkie. He began his post-secondary studies at St. Francis Xavier University, earning a Bachelor of Science Degree in Human Kinesiology in 2007. Upon graduation, he packed-up most of his belongings in a Subaru station-wagon and moved to Toronto to pursue a career in Chiropractic Medicine. He enrolled at the CMCC (Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College) in 2008 and soon fell in-love with the science and philosophy of Chiropractic and the technique of Chiropractic adjusting. During his final year there, he fulfilled a life-long dream to work with animals by enrolling in the Animal Chiropractic Certification program at the Veterinary Chiropractic Learning Centre in Brantford, Ontario. He became a Certified Chiropractor and a Certified Animal Chiropractor in 2013 and has loved his career ever since. When not treating 2 and 4-legged patients, Dr. Craig enjoys spending quality time with his wife, Hayley (also a Chiropractor); their two daughters, Sunnie and Cohyn; and their two Boston Terriers, Abbey and Tyson.
The initial chiropractic examination involves a thorough health history and in-depth subjective analysis of the complaint or problem(s) that prompted the appointment. Previous diagnostic tests and/or any prior imaging (x-ray, MRI, CT scan, etc) are also reviewed. Physical examination involves: postural analysis, range of motion testing, orthopaedic testing as well as static and dynamic motion palpation of the spine and extremities. Once an appropriate diagnosis has been reached a plan of management will be implemented. Treatment often includes chiropractic adjustments and joint mobilizations, myofascial release, passive stretching, rehabilitative exercise prescription and patient education. Acupuncture, therapeutic cupping, kinesiology taping and shockwave therapy are other treatment modalities that the chiropractor may or may not recommended depending on the nature of the complaint.
