In a typical visit with me, cupping is used in conjunction with other treatments (adjustments, exercise and education) to: improve pain... promote relaxation retrain movements scar manipulation (after c-section, surgery, etc) If you are not a fan of needles, cupping therapy can be a great alternative to acupuncture!

Today, the Ontario government issued a province-wide, stay-at-home order, effective Thurs., Jan. 14, 2021, at 12:01 a.m. The order requires everyone to remain a...t home, except for essential purposes, such as accessing health care services or grocery shopping. There are no changes to rules around regulated health care professionals, such as chiropractors, registered massage therapists and physiotherapists. According to Ontario’s Reopening Ontario (A Flexible Response to COVID-19) Act, 2020 (effective Jan. 11, 2021), businesses that can continue to remain open include: health care services provided by regulated health professionals (point #53); organizations that provide health care, including clinics and independent health facilities (point #55) and manufacturers, wholesalers and businesses that provide logistical support of or for products and/or services that support the delivery of health care in all locations (point #58). Patients and members of the public will be able to continue to visit their chiropractor during their regular hours of operation. And chiropractors will continue to comply with strict PPE and safety precautions to protect their patients and team members.

PRACTICE UPDATE It was just announced that the province-wide shutdown will continue BUT as regulated health care professionals we will be able to remain OPEN to care for our patients during the lockdown! We will remain open @middlesexspineandsport of course continuing with our sanitization and screening process. Masks will also continue to be mandatory at all times.... We will be here if you need to care for your aches and pains over the shutdown Stay safe ~Dr. Jess
