I'm so grateful to be able to continue to serve you during this unpredictable time. I wish all of you a safe and Merry Christmas! Dr. Karen

Cat stretches are great for your upper spine to create movement in a tight mid back. Breathe deeply as you work through this.

Here's another great stretch to get your spine moving, and reduce some pain and stiffness.

Feeling Stiff? Here is a good start to stretching and moving your lower spine.

During this time, I have been keeping up with the recommendations of Health Canada and my governing body of the College of Chiropractors of Ontario. Because of this I was closed before it was mandated I needed to self Isolate because of recent travel. That time period ended today, and happily everyone in my family are symptom free at this time. I am able to keep my doors partially open as we are limiting care to acute care only. I am particularly concerned with this vir...us as I have an autoimmune disease and my immune system is challenged, so I am trying to keep your needs and mine in mind with how I am responding to this crisis. If you have had contact with someone who has or thinks they have the Covid 19 disease, please stay home and contact your primary care physician and or the local ER. If you have symptoms of a cough, sore throat, fever, shortness of breath, please stay home and contact your primary care physician or the local ER department. I will not be in my office other than for scheduled appointments. Please call my office at 519-593-2311 or my cell phone when I'm not there: 519-749-5750 to schedule an appointment. Hopefully with our diligence to public health recommendations and patience we will be able to get ahead of this pandemic and return to our regularly scheduled lives soon. Yours in Health, Dr. Karen Barsness See more

Things will look different the next time you are in for a visit. In addition to the thorough disinfecting procedures and personal PPE I have implemented, I am required by the size of my office to limit the number of people in my office to the patient or family being adjusted. Please wait outside until the person before you exits. Patients entering the office must have a personal mask for the duration of the visit. If you do not have one, I will have some disposable and re...usable masks for purchase. I have hand sanitizer ready upon entry for you to use before your appointment. Thank you for your patience as I implement the necessary changes to ensure your safety while in my office. Please contact me on my email: [email protected] for an appointment. Have a great day, and don't forget to stretch!!

Hello! The time has come when we are allowed to begin to see more patients not on an emergency basis. The College of Chiropractors of Ontario has given us an amber light to proceed so to speak!
