It all started for Dr. Mike ... when he broke his back playing hockey. As promised, here is his origin story to becoming a chiropractor!!

Dr. Mike was a tough little nugget. He isn't 100% sure if he broke his back playing hockey or picking blueberries. What we do know is that he continued to play hockey but he quit picking blueberries lol. Two compression fractures in his thoracic spine. He didn't even know he had them until his mid 20's. Don't worry though, he is all healed.

Let's do the abbreviated timeline of Dr. Mike's path to chiropractic:

✅Dr. Mike went to see Dr. Wanda Lee in Bedford around the age of 12 with ... back pain. The only place he got relief from his discomfort was with chiropractic care.

✅at 17 he went to Dalhousie and graduated with his Bachelor of Kiniesiolgy but wait....

✅He then went on to get his diploma to become a Registered Respiratory Therapist. He did that for a bit ...but wait....

✅He then went on to get his designation to become an Anesthesia technician. He did that for a bit ... but wait...

✅His Dad told him to "keep on graduating" ... he listened to his Dad. He felt strongly about wanting to help people heal naturally.

✅He then went to CMCC to become a CHIROPRACTOR. He figured that was enough education and student loans for one man 😂

✅Fast forward ... built up Armdale Chiropractic, then practiced inside the Truro Walk in Clinic, to paradise at Well Within Chiropractic at 68 Robie Street 💥

Pro tip:

Be VERY careful letting someone go through your photo albums while you are at work! They will absolutely choose the most embarrassing photo to post on social media 😂

Also.... sometimes you won't even realize what is going on with your spine until you get it checked out! Just ask Dr. Mike! It is one of the driving factors for us having our on xray machine on site.

*** feel free to let Dr. Mike know how cute the pictures are that you have now seen 🙈***

What is your origin story? Mine... skipping Algebra in high school to get adjusted instead 😂

Let's see if I can shorten the story and timeline so you can see how a Saskatchewan girl ends up as a chiropractor in Nova Scotia:

✅first time to a chiropractor at 11 yoa, had to go after Dad rolled the car in the winter on an old farm road. Got tossed like a salad in the back seat with no seatbelts and had a bit of neck pain. Got adjusted and it took away the neck pain AND the chronic earaches I had been having. ***the picture is of me standing outside of my first chiropractor's office in Saskatchewan ***

✅continued with chiropractic through high school. Played a lot of basketball and other sports. Skipped class to get adjusted. I wanted to be a chiropractor but was told I was "too skinny" ( I miss being told I am too skinny lol)

✅hated school but got a scholarship to play basketball at university. Had a neck injury from a cheap shot from a teammate in practice. Ended up not being able to raise my right arm. Once again... chiropractic fixed that up. Graduated from U of C with a Bachelor of Physical Education.

✅went to the last stages of application to become a police officer in Calgary (life would have been very different had I been accepted) Decided to pursue my dream of being a chiropractor.

✅skip a few steps ... met a cute boy at school who happened to be from Nova Scotia

✅BOOM... I now haunt your dreams telling you to eat clean, stay fit, monitor mental stressors and get adjusted!!!

Pro Tip:

Ask me how I learned my beside manner and how I develop rapport with my patients.... I never tire of telling this story 🤣

Stay tuned for Dr. Mike's origin story ....

So... how did YOU end up where you are today? Is there a timeline?

11/17/2025

Holy trip down memory lane!!! Dr. Mike looks like a baby.👶

Fun Fact.... we set up our first office at the Armdale Rotary in Halifax. We used to enjoy a coffee at lunch and take in the view of Purcell's Cove. We also got to watch the rotary cause fender benders... almost every single day.🙈

We did a lot of locums (fill in for other Chiro's on vacation) when we started. We did one in Truro in May of 2002.... and decided Colchester County was were we wanted to raise a family. The rest is history as they say 🤩

How many things do you see in the pictures that confirm your chiropractors have been around for a few years??? I see 6 lol.
Let's see if you can see them in the comments below.

Pro tip:

Chiropractic is all about the GAP (general adaptative potential). Getting adjusted allows your nervous system to process the chemical, physical or emotional stresses with a greater capacity. The adjustement also really helps you feel good with less pain lol

so...

Get adjusted. Especially, when life throws you curveballs. It helps.

11/13/2025

Some things have been off limits...like messing with my coffee!!

Alas...

Here we are lol

What if ...... I had better mental capacity and focus?

What if ...... I had less inflammation?

What if ..... I had more energy? (*** everyone should be nervous if that happens to me lol)

It only took 3 "what if's" and thinking about it for 7 years for me to try it!!! I will keep you posted on the results!!!

Pro tip:

What if chiropractic..... got rid of your pain?

What if chiropractic .... gave you a better quality of life?

What if chiropractic .... had you at your optimum vs just settling for not feeling like you are dying?

Don't wait 7 years before you or your loved ones give chiropractic a try. I can think of about out 657 other "what ifs" that would make it worth adding chiropractic to your life.

11/10/2025

If you want to be a part of one of the most moving Rememberance Day Services in Nova Scotia.... head to Windsor, NS to see how King's Edgehill School honours Canadian Veterans!!!

Dr. Mike and I have been to several of them and are humbled everytime by the reverance and the pagentry.

Pro tip:

If you value your FREEDOM... hug a veteran :)

Chocolate snack pack move the heck over …
this homemade recipe knows ball 🙊😜😂❤️❤️❤️

For those of us over 20 “knows ball” is code for being underestimated when you or the product are exceptional lol. Forgive my attempt to remain relevant with our younger patients 👵🏻🥹😂

But seriously … this chocolate protein pudding is no joke. Deceptively delicious 😋. I will 💯 be eating this for breakfast … and dessert 🍮… and as a snack 💥

Pro tip:

Adding yummy health foods without making a big deal about them ensures the family will be more likely to enjoy them 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

No one needs to know there are 4 free range boiled eggs in their pudding and no sugar 🤫

You will want to save this recipe. It will be in the comment section.

*** I am very good at wrecking the kid’s meals by telling them what every single ingredient is and where it came from 🤷🏻‍♀️😂. I’m going to try and “zip it” when I serve them this.

11/05/2025

Do you ever wonder what other people “scroll” or what they see in their algorithm?!?!

I promise you …. We all have a very unique feed😂

Dr. Mike’s is currently full of hunting, bike, empty nest and car content. Plus random stuff from whatever we talk about after supper and the phone picks up on 🤦🏻‍♀️

Mine is full of gardening, seed retrieval, growing mushrooms, hip flexor stretches and and chiropractor adjusting clips (they are wild🙊).

Every once in a while you will come across a site that is actually REALLY good! I think the one I’m sharing below is a REALLY good one from a health professional viewpoint ❤️

Pro tip:

Customize your algorithms to w**d out toxic content! A few examples:

🚫 anything that makes you feel inadequate
🚫 anything that makes you feel fearful or like the world is ending
🚫 anything that degrades other humans

Your mind space needs good nutrition just like your body does. Be mindful of what you FEED it. They don’t say “what’s in your feed” by mistake!!!!!

Tell me how time change is going without saying a word ...

Pro tip:

Do... not... have ....a .... nap!!!

May I suggest skipping the extra coffee you were thinking about as well.

Your body is a highly adaptable organism. Give it a chance.

Hold fast to your routines. You will be appreciating the morning light by the weekend :)

*** please be careful driving, the deer weren't given the notice that time change happened and they are very active a dusk ***

Oh how things have come full circle 😖🤦🏻‍♀️😂

Call me old fashioned but I miss the days when we were given a bag to put our things in as we exit a store. I still have fear of being accused of shop lifting as I literally put things in my purse and leave 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️😂

Pro tip:

Not every new innovation is inherently good. It will be marketed as good or innovative but it isn’t always “better”.

Health care is seeing these types of changes too:

😕 AI replacing front end staff
😕 Phone visits replacing in person consultations
😕 Collaboratives replacing one health practitioner for a lifetime.

It’s pretty easy to argue how these changes might be beneficial .. but we could also point out at what cost it is to you as a result.

We will continue to be “old fashioned” at Well Within Chiropractic :

🤗 Monique and MaryEllen (new team member) will greet you on the phone and in person ❤️

🤗 In person chiropractic adjustments will continue lol

🤗 You will continue to be adjusted by Dr. Mike or by myself, Dr. C. You have one of us as your “primary” but are welcome to see either of us. We fully intend on being your family chiropractor. It’s been our absolute pleasure to work with you through all phases and stages of your live’s ❤️

Is it true that when you get older your joints tell you when bad weather is coming.....?!?!?!

um, yes.🥹

Stretches enter the chat!💥

A gift below from your chiro that is just a touch "older" (be gentle with my feelings lol)

Pro Tip:

This is a spinal mobility routine. It will take you places, I promise 🙂

Bookmark it for later.

Be honest, when was the last time you did any mobility work or stretched? I am curious. Let me know.

10/20/2025

Is it a muscle? A joint? A nerve?

What is your next move .....

When do you go see your chiropractor?

Let me break it down for you so that you can share this with your friends and family:

It may be a MUSCLE pain if:

If is feels like a dull, deep ache. The area is often tender to the touch and you might feel tight bands or knots.

It gets worse when you use it and feels better when you rest it or apply heat.

It may be a JOINT pain if:

It often feels like a deep, internal ache that feels "stiff". It can be sharp with specific movements like squatting or reaching.

It will feel better with rest and ice application.

It may be a NERVE pain if:

It can feel personal lol. It can be a shooting, burning or "eletrical" pain or sensation. It can also present as tingling, numbness or pins and needles.

It may travel or radiates in a clear path (like down your arm to your pinky finger). It can happen at anytime even when you aren't moving. It may feel like there is no escaping the discomfort no matter what you do.

Pro tip:

Ok ... so now you know what part of the body is struggling. Who do you go see for help?

Drum Roll Please..... YOUR CHIROPRACTOR.

Our scope of practice is NEUROMUSCULOSKELETAL or nerve-muscle-joint.

Pretty cool :)

The general rule of thumb... if things don't heal on their own within 3-5 days .. call 902-843-3445. If you really aren't sure what to do.... you can DM or send an email. We are happy to help you!

It doesn't have to feel like you are playing chess with your grandfather and don't know what to do lol
