We Treat You Differently
Control Cord Tension
Traditionally, it is difficult to change spinal curves because your brain is hyper-focused on protecting your spinal cord. This is where our purpose-built, double ended, decompression table comes in, allowing us to change your spinal discs and ligaments without increasing cord tension. It’s a game-changer.
Neuromuscular Re-education
A cornerstone to scoliosis correction is using body weighting systems. With x-rays as a guide, we use a specialized weighting system to activate the bodies natural response to fight resistance and change muscular tone. This corrects your curves by levelling your shoulders and pelvis.
Vestibular Input
Utilizing brain-based therapies addresses a major aspect of scoliosis, postural tone. With one side of the spine often having increased tone and the other decreased tone, activating your brain and vestibular system appropriately will make all the difference!
Top to Bottom Correction
The cervical curve and pelvic level needs to be an early focus in care. When these areas change, the curves follow. Typically, with early intervention of the neck and pelvis we have slowed and even stopped progression of the scoliosis.
Rib Rotation
Larger thoracic curves (over 35 degrees) can result in organ compression due to rib intrusion. By levelling your shoulders and introducing specific exercises for your ribs we will help you improve your rib orientation.
Directed Exercise
You need to change the way you exercise with abnormal spinal curves. Your spine needs to be stretched and strengthened in an individualized way, we will show you how. This typically continues with supervision until spinal maturity.

Our Reviews
I was able to function, but over time my condition began to deteriorate, resulting in unwanted muscle movement, vision issues, depression, and overall losing my zest for life. I got an MRI back with lesions on my brain, but no follow up and am still waiting on an appointment to see a neurologist to this day. I thought my life, and independence, were over.
I consulted with alternative practitioners including a naturopath who wanted to charge $3500 to put me on a course that would go over toxin testing, water filtration, etc, but I had become aware of the treatments Dr. Horseman offered through educational seminars and decided to speak with him. Within a few weeks I flew to his clinic and began treatment. He performed an Xray and found that in addition to concussion complications my neck ligaments were torn and my brain was off centre - so we got to work resolving that as well as testing and direct treatment with brain wave therapy.
To say the results were incredible is an understatement; my life has completely changed. My balance and sight improved within days, and my mood and cognition have continued to get better following treatment. One of the things I thought would happen is that I would be told to quit drinking; and in fact I noticed one of the side effects is that I no longer get any hangover symptoms - even red wine, which would result in such intense hangovers that required me to abstain, is not a problem for me anymore. In particular my sight has seen the most improvement, and I consider the impact of not being able to see on my cognition and driving and that the limitations of my processing were undetected for months, resulting in increasing frustration, anxiety, and depression.
Thank you to Dr. Horseman and team for all the help and hospitality, looking forward to seeing you in Calgary this fall!
