Dr. Maureen  Asks some important questions of interest to Toronto residents - Chiropractor Toronto Dr. Maureen Asks...

What's the difference between sick care and health care?
Sick care is largely about relieving or suppressing symptoms. Health care is about improving performance. While sick care is about how you feel, health care is about how you function. Sick care is what you do to treat an obvious problem, and health care is what you do to avoid the problem and advance your well-being.
Why does chiropractic work?
Chiropractic works because your nervous system, consisting of your brain, spinal cord and all the nerves of your body, controls and regulates every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body. A chiropractor locates and reduces areas of nervous system compromise (usually along the spine) so your capacity to heal is restored. Chiropractic works by helping your body work as it was designed.

Your First Visit at Essence of Life, Wellness Care

You will be warmly welcomed and made to feel at home. Help is on its way!

Our practice members often remark how peaceful and inviting our office is. We have designed our office to be welcoming and warm. You'll find plenty of convenient parking and a well-lit parking lot across the street at the Green P. You’ll be greeted by name when you enter our office and given a short tour to get you acquainted with our facilities.

If you’ve already completed your New Practice Member History, great! If not, after doing so you'll meet Dr. Maureen Borghoff for your consultation and examination.

We Explain Everything First

The purpose of your consultation with the doctor is to discuss your health goals and see if chiropractic is likely to help you. If it looks promising, a thorough examination will help identify the cause of your problem. Dr. Maureen may determine upon doing the chiropractic, neurological and orthopedic examination that a set of full spine pictures are necessary before your next visit. Dr. Tami (our office manager who is, herself, also a chiropractor) will assist you in setting this up and will schedule your Report of Findings for a convenient time.

Please set aside 60 minutes for your time in the office for your first visit.

Patients appreciate that we explain everything in advance!
