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.

About Essence of Life

We've been delivering quality chiropractic care to the Bloor West Village community since 2000. We are a family-based practice that empowers people of all ages to live healthy vibrant lives.

Our approach is simple. We believe that health is among our most valuable possessions. We may see people after they've lost their health, but more often we help families reach their optimum health through chiropractic wellness care. Whatever way you chose, our commitment to our practice members is two-fold.

1. Relief Care
Relief or wellness care... it's your choice.

When many people seek care in our office they have one goal relief. So that’s where we start! During this initial stage of intensive care, we have several obligations:

  • Uncover the underlying cause of the health problem
  • Suggest a care plan to produce the fastest results possible
  • Offer ways patients can participate in their recovery
  • Explain value of post-symptomatic wellness care
2. Wellness Care

We encourage our patients to achieve the highest levels of health they can. Through educational opportunities (like this website and ongoing workshops), we hope to communicate the value of ongoing chiropractic care. Our desire is to see our practice members abandon the prevailing sickness care model of health (waiting for symptoms and then taking action), in favor of the emerging wellness model.

You’re the Boss

Regardless of your health goals, please understand that we are here to serve YOU! You’re the boss! It’s your body, your health and your future. Our job is to offer you the finest chiropractic care possible, and it’s up to you to decide how long you will benefit from it. Remember when you take time for your wellness now you won't be forced to take time to deal with your sickness later.
