The use of solid, sterile, single-use needles in the area of concern, spinal segments, or distally are combined to best address your treatment goals. TCM elements may be included with the neurofunctional approach to enhance your treatment success. The use of microcurrent to target the nerve to muscle communication, increase circulation, and enhance pain reduction is often included to shorten the duration of the session.

Certain contraindications will limit the use of electrical stimulation, such as pregnancy, a pacemaker, or certain cancers.

Dr. Shruti Sharma is a Chiropractor and Neurofunctional Acupuncture Provider who wants to help you hurt less, move better, and live well. The use of various techniques provides a thorough assessment, customized treatment plans, and results. Dr. Sharma is a Trained Provider of the Shift Concussion Management Program and will co-manage your case with other specialists to address visual, vestibular, emotional, or performance dysfunctions. Her background in Clinical Nutrition, Psychology, and Alternative and Complimentary Medicine is often incorporated into your care.

Optimizing your body’s ability to target the dysfunctional areas to repair and recover includes addressing its ability to provide, build, and circulate the necessary nutrients. These nutritional and physiological elements are crucial to your success and are further supported by addressing co-existing mental health or stress management concerns, as a body under stress will not function well.

During the past decade, Dr. Sharma has evolved her practice style to be akin to concierge medicine with a patient-centered approach to address the immediate and future goals of her clients, be it pain reduction, improving movement patterns to avoid recurrent injuries, or enhancing physical performance. This detailed approach requires longer appointments than conventional Chiropractic care and the number of sessions required is dependent on your response to care. Regular re-assessments to monitor progress and to update your home care programs, referrals for x-rays, or guidance on how to follow up with other providers starts with your main concern and we continue from there. Treatment frequency begins with appointments closer together with the goal to quickly increase the time between visits, as your body adapts to improved movement and function.

As individuals have unique health histories and goals, Dr. Sharma prefers to both educate clients and learn from them. Treatment is tailored through objective measures and honest discussions on your successes and frustrations. Your feedback during follow-up visits allows us to update your care, including pausing for more investigations or stopping. The sharing of relevant information between you and your providers enables sustainable results, evaluation of the appropriateness of interventions, and advocacy for your health care.

Dr. Sharma works from locations that service the Durham and Scarborough regions: PhysioTouch in Courtice and Elite Back Care in Scarborough. Other locations may arise in the future, in addition to current concierge care options.

Stay in touch for updates and how to book your visits via email, text, or online booking.

Looking forward to working with you, Dr. Sharma
