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.

Dr. Ian and his team are incredible in every aspect and I can't thank the Brain Therapy Clinic enough for what they... were able to do with my issues with concussions and post-concussion syndrome. A common issue among people with concussions is the struggle to find the right therapy/care to get better and often times end up with a lot of trial and error to see what works. I wish I would have found Ian at the beginning of my recovery!read more

I can confidently say that Dr. Horseman gave me my life back. I am a former Ontario bobsleigh athlete with 9 bobsleigh... crashes at 120km with a 200kg sled on my head, and it completely changed my life. For years I attempted to get help from concussion specialists, physiologists, massage therapists, chiropractors, and other practitioners without resolve.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!read more

I was experiencing an uncomfortable ache in my left hip, lower back and left leg when lying down or sitting. Dr... Stinnissen completed a thorough examine and determined it was my SI joint causing the issue. After one appointment, I feel significantly better.

I’ve had great experiences so far, I have only been once but that’s because after my first appointment I didn’t need my... follow up. I did the stretches and exercises Dr. Stinnissen showed me and it made a world of difference. If I have any issues in the future I know the first place I’ll call.read more

I've had the pleasure of being under the care of Dr. Stinnissen at another clinic in downtown Toronto and I was sad to... see him go. However, I want to make it known that Peterborough has earned an amazing and passionate chiropractor with a wide breadth of knowledge, both in concussion management/rehab, and as a manual practitioner.read more

After suffering a traumatic head injury in August of 2019, I spent a long time dealing with all the headaches and other... symptoms associated with it. I went to the Brain Therapy clinic in January and I am already seeing great progress that I haven't seen before. This clinic is full of amazingly supportive, knowledgeable, and friendly staff. They have a comprehensive approach at treating brain injuries and have a process that is their own, and not like other clinics who have an off the shelf concussion rehab program. I am very happy with this clinic and excited to see even more progress.read more

Dr. Ian Horseman is a fantastic chiropractor. He takes the time to work with each client according to their needs. I... never feel rushed in my appointment and leave each appointment thoroughly adjusted and a little pampered. The diverse range of techniques from massage to laser, properly warming up and icing down muscles before and after treatment makes for a good adjustment that lasts for weeks.read more
