Chiropractic to be the best outlet to help people take back control of their lives. Dr. Ian’s passion for Chiropractic has only grown stronger as he has seen it unlock people’s health, improve their ability to move, perform, become more internally aware, and most impactfully, bring balance to their overly stressed nervous systems.

What is Medical Qi-Gong?
Medical Qigong ("chee-gong") is an ancient pillar of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It focuses on addressing the root cause of disease. It does so by balancing, strengthening and regulating Qi ("chee"), the bio-electromagnetic energy that pervades all living things. Similar to other invisible forces, such as wind or gravity or magnetism, Qi is powerful and can be felt, but is not commonly seen. It is translated as “life force” and/or “vital energy” and is what makes us feel healthy and alive.
