Should you ice or heat an injury?🧊🔥

There’s a lot of debate on this topic, and you might wonder which is the right choice!

According to science, ice can be helpful in the first 6 hours to reduce pain, but using it beyond that could actually slow down the healing process. So, when should you switch to heat or avoid both altogether?

It’s always best to ask a healthcare professional for personalized advice. If you're unsure, give us a call—we're here to help guide you through your recovery! 🙌

Our Story

As one of Barrhaven's longest serving Chiropractic clinic, I continually strive to achieve the highest standards of excellence in all aspects of patient care. This high-level of quality and service has helped me become the number one choice for many residents of Barrhaven and surrounding areas for Chiropractic care, and custom orthotics.

Originally from Trois-Rivières, QC, I have been in practice in Barrhaven since 1993. Over the past 25 years, I have continuously acquired further knowledge, skills and experience, but it is my passion for caring for people and my ultimate goal of restoring their optimal health that has fuelled my success and established me as a well-respected health care practitioner in my community.

Additionally, I hold positions with the Canadian Chiropractic Board of Examiners and the College of Chiropractors of Ontario. It has been very professionally fulfilling and gratifying to serve the Chiropractic profession outside the traditional clinic sense, all the while providing an opportunity for myself to continuously learn and remain the best Chiropractor I can be.

In addition to Chiropractic care, South Nepean Family Chiropractic also offers Massage Therapy. Our in house massage therapist is Angela Hopper.
