Our Mission is Overall Wellness
Health can be defined as the body functioning properly rather than just feeling good. You may not feel sick today, but if your nervous system is being impeded from sending messages to other organs and systems in the body, things may not be working as well as they could be. Through a regular wellness care program that works to restore spinal health and mobility, people often find that they have more energy and do not get sick as often. When the nervous system is functioning properly, the benefits are endless. Digestion, blood flow, lung capacity, heartbeat, skin tone, and overall mobility are just some of the body’s functions that are positively impacted by a spine that is properly aligned.
How Lifestyle Affects Overall Wellness
The decisions we make and the actions we take in each moment of our day will affect our bodies and can slowly produce problems that may not show symptoms. What we eat, how we sit, the work that we do with our bodies, and even the way we emotionally react to a situation, can have long-term impacts on our wellness. If you spend your days sitting at a desk, the way you hold your head or place your arms can have a major impact, not only on your neck and shoulders but also on your whole body.
This is because the bundle of nerves that sends messages to every other part of our body originates in our spinal column. When vertebrae become misaligned there are dozens of possible impacts upon our health. This also goes for how we hold emotions in the body. If we are chronically tensing our shoulders due to stress or anxiety, this can once again impact the spine and the rest of the body. As you can see, even if we don’t feel sick, we may need a little extra care to prevent daily activities from becoming more severe problems.
Chiropractic Treatment as Part of a Wellness Care Plan
Chiropractic treatments work to keep the integrity of the nervous system intact and are an excellent choice as a part of a wellness care plan. Regular, gentle adjustments can ensure that the daily impacts of your life are not wearing your health down over time. By performing a thorough evaluation of your health history and current physical state, a chiropractor can help you detect problems before they develop into a more serious issue, keeping you at peak function and feeling great.
Specialities at Soulstice Wellness Centre
At Soulstice our specialties are dealing with lower back pain, sciatic pain, and migraines. Dr.Androsoff has a non-surgical decompression table which allows symptom relief for patients experiencing back pain with pain into one or both legs. Over the years we have developed an affinity for patients with sciatic pain because of referrals from current or past patients who have found positive results from our services. We also have licensed massage therapists who work closely with Dr.Androsoff to help correct muscle imbalances caused by spinal misalignments compressing on nerves. It is a win-win for the patient to have a one-stop location for their health services.
Is Chiropractic Treatment Safe?
We have heard many questions and concerns regarding adjustments; Are they safe? Are there risks? Do I have to have my neck “cracked?” These are all valid questions that deserve answers. To put it lightly, chiropractic is VERY safe. There are almost no risks involved with most adjustments. Chiropractic has been proven over and over through clinical studies to be a safe and effective way of alleviating musculoskeletal pain. For patients who are concerned about manual therapy (cracking), We offer instrument adjusting that is both gentle, and effective. We primarily use instrument adjusting on infants, toddlers, elderly, and anyone who has a concern with manual adjustments.

What To Expect On Your 1st Visit?
Your first visit will take between 45 minutes to an hour, and will be mostly information gathering. We do a thorough history check and exam before any treatments. This is to ensure the best, most accurate diagnosis, and to ensure that your chiropractic treatment/care will be able to help with your specific condition.
Along with patient history, in order to diagnose your condition Dr. Androsoff uses a variety of orthopedic testing, posture assessment, nervous system scanning equipment, and when appropriate, diagnostic imaging such as x-rays or ultrasound.
Your second visit will take approximately 30 minutes, and will be a report of exam findings, and usually a diagnosis, treatment plan, and prognosis. There will be a lot of information covered in this visit, so you are encouraged to bring a spouse, or family member to this visit if you would like to.
Subsequent visits will usually take between 5-10 minutes.
