Look for a licensed chiropractor with specific training, and a clear treatment philosophy. Body Science was named the Canadian Choice Award winner in the Woodbridge Chiropractors category in both 2024 and 2025, a distinction based on independent market research into client satisfaction and consistent quality of care, not a paid listing. That recognition reflects what our care is built around: helping people access the best possible outcomes for their overall health and well-being, grounded in Salutogenesis, and supported by an integrated team of chiropractic, naturopathic, and massage therapy care under one roof in Vaughan.

Yes. Dr. Thea has spent over a decade working with athletes and active individuals — and as those same clients have grown, referred family members, become pregnant, and started families of their own, her scope of care has grown right alongside them. Today, that experience spans every stage of life, from newborn to elderly, with particular depth in sports injuries, nerve pain, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, infants and children including tongue tie and latching/oral motor difficulties. Every case is assessed on its own terms, and our growing team of practitioners shares that similar breadth of experience across populations.

We recommend booking ahead to guarantee time with the right practitioner for your needs, though same-week appointments are often available. Call or book online and our team will find the earliest fit for chiropractic, naturopathic, or massage therapy care.

We welcome patients from Woodbridge, Maple, Kleinburg, Thornhill, and throughout the greater GTA. Many patients travel from neighbouring communities specifically for our multidisciplinary, Salutogenesis-based approach to care. We frequently have clients that commute an hour to access our care.

Yes, we direct-bill most major Ontario insurance providers for chiropractic, naturopathic, and massage therapy services, so you can focus on your care rather than paperwork. Confirm your specific plan with your insurance provider before your visit. We do not accept WSIB or MVA cases at this time.

A chiropractor assesses spinal alignment, joint mobility and function, nerve system function, and surrounding muscle function to identify the source of dysfunction and pain — not just the symptomatic area. Treatment may include manual adjustment and mobilization, soft tissue work, laser therapy, acupuncture, lymphatic drainage, cupping, and a rehabilitation plan designed to restore movement and prevent recurrence.

Chiropractic care can help relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve and improve mobility for many people with sciatica/nerve related or disc-related pain, through manual adjustment and mobilization, soft tissue work, laser therapy, acupuncture, lymphatic drainage, cupping, and progressive rehabilitation exercises. A proper assessment determines whether chiropractic care is appropriate for your specific presentation.

Salutogenesis is a health-origins model that asks what creates and sustains wellness, not only what causes the pain. Rather than isolating one symptom, our practitioners look at your full movement pattern, lifestyle, and stress load to build a plan that restores function and supports resilience going forward. We combine the best evidence-based practices and patient based care to guide treatments.

These therapies support different goals — acupuncture/dry needling and cupping target muscular tension and trigger points. This is great for individuals for acute and chronic musculoskeletal pain. While lymphatic drainage supports circulation and post-surgical or inflammatory recovery. This is great for individuals with acute and chronic inflammation, post partum, post surgeries, and seasonally for relief of seasonal allergies and helping aid the body's detoxification pathways. Your practitioner will recommend a therapy based on your assessment, not as a one-size-fits-all add-on. Some conditions have contradictions to some modalities.

Your first visit includes a full health history intake, a physical and movement assessment, and a conversation about your goals. Your practitioner will explain their findings in plain language and outline a recommended care plan before any treatment begins. Please bring appropriate clothing to access relevant body parts in order to maximize your treatment (i.e. shorts, t-shirt, tank top, sports bra). Please continue to do so for subsequent visits.

This varies by condition, but many patients notice initial improvement within three to six visits. Your practitioner will set measurable milestones during your first visit so you know what progress should look like and when to reassess the plan.

No referral is required to see a chiropractor in Ontario — you can book directly with Body Science. A referral may be requested by your insurance provider for reimbursement purposes, so it's worth checking your specific plan.

We accept most major extended health insurance plans covering chiropractic, naturopathic, and registered massage therapy, and we direct-bill wherever possible. Bring your insurance details to your first visit for us to submit on your behalf. To confirm your coverage maximums please contact your insurance provider.

Body Science is built around a single question: what actually creates health, not just what treats a symptom. That Salutogenesis-based philosophy shapes everything, from Dr. Thea's own path — over a decade working with athletes, then expanding into pregnancy, postpartum, and family care as her clients' lives grew alongside her practice. That approach has been recognized outside the clinic too: Body Science won the Canadian Choice Award in the Woodbridge Chiropractors category in both 2024 and 2025. Located in Woodbridge/Vaughan and serving families across the GTA. Your family moves, we keep you moving.
