Chiropractic Assessment and Treatment

In your first visit, we consult with you to assess your specific problem. After tests, assessment and x-rays (if needed), you return for a report of findings and recommended chiropractic care plan. See ‘first visit’.

Orthopaedic and Spinal Assessment and Treatment

A thorough examination is conducted on each patient at Fisher Heights Chiropractic to assist the doctor in determining the cause of the patients problem. A variety of chiropractic, neurological, postural, and range of motion tests will help determine which joints and tissues are being affected and determine recommendations for treatment.

Motor Vehicle Accident Assessment and Treatment

Have you ever been in an automobile accident? Fisher Heights Chiropractic can assist you. We provide a complete history and physical examination to help you better understand your problem and get the relief that you need.

Your insurance carrier covers a majority of chiropractic services, and no medical referral is needed.

Work Injury Assessment and Treatment

Fisher Heights Chiropractic accept patients who have been injured on the job. A complete diagnostic evaluation of your condition and treatment is covered by WSIB. Fisher Heights have had great success in treatment of work related injuries. No medical referral is required.

BIOTONIX Postural Evaluation

BIOTONIX is a technology for assessing musculoskeletal health. The BioPrint in BIOTONIX is used by Chiropractors and other wellness experts to assess and correct musculoskeletal deviations.

Photographs of you are taken against a specific backdrop and are used electronically to assess and monitor your posture. A personalized report indicates where and how your body is out of alignment; pinpoint specific muscles that have been adversely affected; and recommend a personalized exercise program to correct your problems. You can monitor improvement by comparing follow-up BioPrints. Many amateur and professional athletes, including Mario Lemeiux, have endorsed the BioPrint to help them improve their performance on the playing field. Fisher Heights Chiropractic is one of the few offices in Ottawa that offers BIOTONIX.

Massage Therapy

Massage is a true chiropractic compliment for improving your musculoskeletal conditions. Our Registered Massage Therapists offer a variety of massage - deep tissue, relaxation, light massage, trigger point therapy, light massage, frictions, ice massage, muscle stripping, swelling technique, and proprioseptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching technique.

Cost: $40 for 30 minutes, $55 for 45 minutes, $65 for 60 minutes, and $100 for 90 minutes.

Spinal Stabilization and Home Exercise Programs

Home exercise programs and stretches are an important part of many treatment plans for improving muscular strength and coordination, and enhancing flexibility. Dr. Bourgaize is well educated in coordinating exercise programs to compliment your personalized wellness plan. In fact, many of the exercises and stretches can be continued even once active care is finished. This ensures you maintain your wellness and minimize the possibilities of sustaining new injuries.

Orthotic Services

For some patients, assisting their wellness starts from the ground up. Orthotics are custom designed products to help correct abnormal foot position and motion. They support the arches of the foot in a more normal weight-bearing position and reduce the dynamic stress and strain on the foot, ankle, knee, hip and spine. At Fisher Heights Chiropractic, we perform a gait analysis and postural test procedure in the initial examination of every patient to determine several important ‘red flags’, which indicate the need for orthotics. Our orthotics come with your choice of dress shoe, cross-trainers (New Balance shoe) or sandals. Orthotics can be made to fit in other work shoes, running shoes or boots. Health insurance coverage is often 80% to 100%.

EMG Diagnostic Equipment

Electrical modalities such as Ultrasound, Interferential current, TENS, Laser, Magnaterm and Diathermy are some of the equipment used in muscle repair.

Nutritional Counseling and Nutritional Products Available

A major cornerstone in maintaining ones wellness is through proper nutrition. Doctors of Chiropractic receive thorough training in the area of human nutrition. At Fisher Heights Chiropractic, we can compliment your wellness plan with a personalized dietary and nutritional program that will help you achieve and maintain your optimal health. We also carry the highest quality nutritional and botanical products such as Genestra and PhytoPharmica to supplement your nutritional plan where needed.

X-ray Unit On Site

Your specific condition may require us to take x-rays to assist in developing the most effective care plan for you. Having an x-ray unit on site enables us to quickly conclude the initial stage of your examination and report, and not inconvenience you with sending you elsewhere for x-rays.
