WHY CHOOSE MITCHELL

It’s been 30 years since we first opened our chiropractor office in Cambridge, Ontario. That gave us three decades to figure out that it’s not just pain alleviation that matters. It’s client care. The natural way to restore well-being is through precise adjustments to the spine. But well-being isn’t restored overnight, so we had better be the sort of people you look forward to seeing a few times a week! Luckily, we are that sort of people.

We are passionate about chiropractic care! We love our clients, our chiropractor office and we are energetic about restoring health. We pass that energy on to everyone who puts their health in our hands. Literally.

We are different! We have a plan designed specifically for you. We truly can help you get your life back. That’s why Dr. Mark followed his heart to study chiropractic. He knew it was his life’s purpose from a young age.

Chiropractor Office in Cambridge, Ontario

THE LAST RESORT PHENOMENON

You’ve suffered for a long time. You’ve tried everything and nothing has worked. Now your diminishing health is affecting your life and you’ve all but given up. The one thing you haven’t tried is chiropractic.

But how will “cracking your back” restore your health?

We’ve heard this story too many times over the past 30 years. We call it the last resort phenomenon. There is a common belief that chiropractic only helps your back. Nothing could be further from the truth. Chiropractic heals your spine so your body can heal itself—anywhere from your head to your toes. How? By letting your brain and body communicate. The spine controls the messages that your brain sends out via the nerve system. If your spine is out of alignment, those healing instructions don’t get where they are supposed to go. A chiropractor opens that communication pathway by removing the interferences that are jamming things up. When the static is gone, the message reaches its destination—and you begin to heal yourself.

Yes, it is like magic! Your body is a powerful machine when it runs properly.

Mark Mitchell

My dad was born with breathing difficulties. Throughout his life he was hospitalized with life-threatening asthma attacks. He married in his early twenties and had two children, my brother and me. His doctor told him to prepare for an early death from asthma. Out of desperation, he went to see my uncle, a chiropractor.

What happened next was extraordinary.

With regular adjustments, his asthma attacks stopped. Completely! His general practitioner couldn’t believe it. Because of his miraculous recovery and new-found health, he took me and my brother for adjustments too. I’ll be honest, at that young age I thought everyone in my uncle’s office was there for asthma treatment! I didn’t realize that adjustment helped back pain, headaches, sciatica, vertigo, and so much more.

In fact, I didn’t fully understand the far-reaching benefits of regular spine adjustments until I attended Chiropractic College. That’s when I discovered that a healthy spine equated to overall health.

I wish everyone knew what I know.

My children have been adjusted since birth and my family gets adjusted regularly. Our health has been and is excellent as a result of regular chiropractic care. That goes for my parents (in their 70s) and my in-laws (in their 80s) who are active and live in their own homes.

My chiropractic story started when I was 20 and I woke up one morning unable to move my neck. My boyfriend took me to see his uncle who was a Chiropractor. Two weeks later, my neck pain was gone. But that wasn’t the extraordinary thing!

What really blew me away was that my debilitating allergies had cleared up. This gave me mixed emotions—I was happy to be free of my allergies but, at the same time, I was sad… I wish my parents had known about Chiropractic care when I was a kid so I could have enjoyed our family camping trips. For me, camping was hiding in the trailer, blowing my nose, and being miserable.

I went ahead and married that boyfriend... who became an amazing Chiropractor. I’m Dr. Mark’s assistant, and we’ve been a team in work and in life for as long as I can remember. Our office is our second home, and our patients become part of our Chiro family.  

Our two adult kids have been adjusted since day one and, although they live away from home, they maintain a regular adjustment schedule to stay healthy. I’m grateful that Chiropractic has been a constant in my family’s lives.  

I am passionate about helping people, and I welcome new faces at our second home. Recently, I’ve put my heart into renovating the office to make the décor and atmosphere as awesome as our hands-on care. I want you to be comfortable from the moment you step in the door. And I want you to feel your life is renewed when you walk out of it! If you have read my bio this far, then I hope to meet you soon!

Trish Barron

There is a maxim out there that “Mother Knows Best.” Almost 30 years ago, my mom was a patient here at Mitchell Chiropractic. She recommended me for the position of Chiropractic Assistant. Clearly, she did know best, because looking back over the last 26 years I have so many blessings to be thankful for!

This is where I was meant to be. I have watched couples get married, families grow up (including my own 3 daughters), and people retire.

Throughout this journey, I’ve valued my place in Chiropractic care, I’ve made friends, and I’ve had one of the best seats in the house to watch how Chiropractic makes lives better. What a gift! At Mitchell Chiropractic, we really are a family—we even celebrate holidays together.

So come on in! I’m excited to meet you and to be part of the team who will make your life better. You’ll see!

 

The four key principles

It is important to us that you understand the 4 key principles that underlie the Mitchell Chiropractic philosophy. These principles guide every action in our office.

1. Your body heals itself.

It is designed that way. Your liver regenerates every 28 days. Every four months you get a new supply of red blood cells. You get a new stomach lining every five days. New taste buds every 11 days (so try turnip again!). Thousands of skin cells shed from your body every day (forming 90% of the dust in your house). The body is in a constant state of change and repair and it follows a specific program.

2. Healing is controlled by the nerve system.

The specific program your body runs to constantly repair itself is controlled by the nerve system. The nerve system is your body’s central command, your internal computer. When every cell, tissue, organ—every nook and cranny—can communicate with the nerve system, your body operates at peak capacity. When this happens, you are healthy.

 
 

3. Interferences prevent nerve system communication.

When something interferes with the nerve system, your body won’t do what it is programmed to do. Healing doesn’t happen. Your body breaks down. That’s when you experience things like tingling, headaches, breathing difficulties, digestive problems and so on.

4. A chiropractor restores communication.

It is my job as your chiropractor to find the interference in the nerve system (spine) and remove that interference so your body functions normally. When normal function is restored, health is restored. When health is restored, you get your life back.

Your spine controls your health. Be good to it.
