As part of a comprehensive care plan, FlexMD may integrate physiotherapy-based modalities to enhance outcomes and support recovery.

How It Works: Your Path to Better Spinal Health

  • How to book a chiropractic assessment at FlexMD
    You can book an appointment online or by calling the clinic. Your first visit includes a full assessment with a doctor of chiropractic to evaluate spinal alignment, posture, mobility, and pain patterns.

  • How chiropractic care improves posture and spinal alignment
    Chiropractic adjustments restore proper joint movement in the spine. When alignment improves, surrounding muscles function more efficiently, reducing strain and supporting long-term posture correction.

  • How soft tissue therapy enhances chiropractic treatment
    Soft tissue therapy targets muscles and connective tissues surrounding the spine. When combined with adjustments, it helps reduce tension, improve comfort, and maintain mobility for longer-lasting results.

  • How integrated modalities support recovery
    When clinically appropriate, technologies such as electrotherapy, ultrasound, laser therapy, and shockwave therapy are used alongside chiropractic adjustments to improve pain relief, accelerate healing, and support functional recovery.

Common Questions About Chiropractic Care

Patient Testimonials

Doctor James Horner has been my chiropractor for close to 25 years. I'm very thankful for regular care from Dr. Horner which has allowed me to maintain an active lifestyle. History with Dr. Horner has also allowed him to know the rights and wrongs of my spine/hips. Recently I had a debilitating sacroiliac issue which Dr Horner was able to diagnose, treat and get me moving again quickly. I appreciate the extra care of sending me for x-ray's and even phoning the clinic to ensure they stayed open for me. Dr. Horner goes above and beyond in sharing his knowledge, suggesting exercises and natural remedies when applicable, and even phoning with follow-up. Dr. Horner is a reliable, compassionate caregiver and I'm truly honoured in receiving his gifts of chiropractic care. Thank you, Dr. Horner, you are appreciated.
