Hi!
I’m Dr. Shruti Sharma, a Chiropractor, Contemporary Medical Acupuncture Provider, and Clinical Nutritionist. I own Elite Back Care but work out of two locations; PhysioTouch in Courtice, ON, and Elite Back Care in Scarborough, ON. Additionally, concierge chiropractic services are available on a case-by-case basis – a truly patient-centered model focusing on thorough, quality care and patient education.
Chiropractic services encompass a variety of techniques and can benefit various conditions affecting the spine, the muscles, joints, and nerves in the body from head to toe. Your body is a complex machine that requires regular tune-ups to keep it performing at its best, so why not make chiropractic care part of your health routine? Hurt Less. Move Better. Live Well!
My mission is to educate, inspire, and support my clients to enhance their well-being through the integration of conventional chiropractic, contemporary medical acupuncture, clinical nutrition, and complementary care modalities.
The goals of my practice are:
- to encourage individuals to recognize their ability to achieve their health & fitness goals by providing quality service, education & results
- to personalize treatments using a combination of different techniques, modalities, and/or products
- to offer treatment plans that evolve with the immediate and long-term goals of the client
- to design care plans to achieve results without unnecessary sessions or services; as it is your body and your choice, you can opt in or out of the suggested interventions or the supportive items that don’t interest you
- to address the physiological, biochemical, structural, mental, and practical elements of your dysfunctions
My educational history includes a Bachelor of Medical Science specializing in Physiology and Pharmacology from The University of Western Ontario (London, ON), followed by Holistic Practitioner training at Centennial College (Toronto, ON), and a Bachelor of Psychology from York University (Toronto, ON).
Realizing that natural alternative patient care, integrated with complimentary therapies, achieves better results for musculoskeletal complaints, I completed a Master’s in Applied Science and Clinical Nutrition concurrently with my Doctorate of Chiropractic degree at New York Chiropractic College (Seneca Falls, NY).
To further enhance my skill set, I have also completed Contemporary Medical Acupuncture training at McMaster University (Hamilton, ON) and become a Trained Provider of the Shift Concussion Management Program (Guelph, ON). To bring my patients the best possible care for their needs I continually participate in continuing education seminars and workshops.
Previously, I was the Clinical Nutritionist for S-R Mental Health & Wellness, a workshop series aimed at teaching self-regulation strategies, combined with clinical nutrition to support the management of anxiety, stress, and depression.
Enough about me, book a visit, and let’s work on your health goals together!
