Being injured is about more than just being in pain.
It can set your training back - wipe out any progress you've made.
It can even keep you from competing at all.

As a fellow athlete, I know how much you love what you do. It's so frustrating to be injured in the first place. Not to mention distressing to think you might not be able to work out or remain competitive.

If you're hurting now, the key to getting back to 100% mobility as quickly as possible is to receive the right diagnosis - the right treatment plan - right from the start!

That's exactly what you'll get at Millar Sports Chiropractic.

My name is Dr. Millar, and as the only Chiropractic Sports Specialist in the London, Ontario area (or the surrounding 120 mile radius), my patients range from both professional and world-class athletes to the weekend warriors. Men, women and young people who love to get out there, push themselves hard and have fun.

While Chiropractors are trained to treat back and neck problems, a Sports Specialist has extensive post-graduate training on treating the extremities.

Over the last 25 years, I've seen and treated just about every sports injury you can imagine, giving me a wealth of personal experience to draw on, above and beyond my 2 years of post-graduate training.

What this means is I can offer you...

- More accurate diagnosis
- More accurate adjustments
- Shorter treatment plans

Your initial consultation will include a thorough chiropractic examination. We'll discuss the type of training you do, the intensity, your routines, diet - anything that can affect your performance.

Yes, this takes more time... but I've found it's always time well spent. My goal is not just to reduce the pain for now -- I don't want the problem to come back as soon as you stop treatments -- We want a long-term solution.

After all, I don't want the problem to come back as soon as you return to your sport!

That's why we'll look at more than just "what's hurting". I'll ask a lot of questions and perform some specific tests to gently uncover exactly WHY you are hurting.

By taking this Whole Body Approach' to chiropractic care, I use treatments designed to make you feel better and perform better NOW - while also helping to solve the underlying cause of your pain. (Find out where pain comes from)

Soft tissue treatments including Active Release Technique (ART), Electrical muscle Stimulation (EMS), Laser treatments, and Ultrasound allow us to...

- Relax your muscles
- Reduce any swelling and inflammation
- Increase your range of motion and flexibility
- Help reduce your pain and stiffness

I'll also use a chiropractic testing and benchmark system to document exactly where you are before and after every treatment. This gives a specific, measurable way to track your improvement at each visit.

Accurate diagnosis, proven treatment plans, and consistent testing are just three of the reasons why our average treatment plan is just 6-12 treatments over a 4- 6 week period.

Much shorter - and much more effective - than a traditional chiropractor or physiotherapist.

Since I know you don't like missing even a day or two because of soreness or pulled muscles, we'll also spend time talking about injury prevention.

This includes everything from stretching and exercise to nutrition and lifestyle choices. All things you can do - personally - to strengthen your body and prevent many injuries from happening in the first place.

By being proactive, you'll find yourself spending less time on the sidelines... and more time doing what you love.

At Millar Sports Chiropractic, you'll discover that you DON'T have to just 'accept' the pain or learn to live with it. You have options. There are solutions.

To make an appointment, call our office today at 519-663-1166. Dayna or Annie will be happy get you scheduled for a consultation at your earliest convenience.

If you're suffering from an injury - even if nothing else has helped...

Together we'll work to resolve the problem.

Patient Reviews:

"I'm just grateful I found a chiropractor who's gentle – who knows how to find the pain – who helps you deal with it and knows how to make it go away. What more can you ask for?

Some days the pain was so great I would grit my teeth trying to cope. It's not a very healthy response – but unfortunately it's a natural one.

Of course, this started to affect my family life. Now, like most people, whenever I'm in pain I'm grumpier than usual – my husband can usually tell. I get this look on my face, snap at people and yell when I shouldn't. I know when I'm doing it...and I don't like it.

Even after one treatment I notice a difference in my emotions. I feel hopeful --hopeful that it's going to improve and not continue to get worse -- relief that it IS improving -- more comfortable – more peaceful and less grumpy.

You know how it is...

If Mum ain't happy, ain't nobody happy!"

Rebekah Voege – Stay at home mother with 2 children

"Being shown how to live a healthy, active life has other benefits as well. Like at school. When I have a good training session, I feel good and ready to go. If I'm not training I start to feel really tired and miserable.

I'd rather be training than just sitting around not doing anything."

Paul Kwatyra – University student and Varsity team swimmer

"When I was first diagnosed with Plantar Fasciitis – and told there was nothing to be done about it – I thought I was doomed. You see, I depend on my physical ability for my job as a corrections officer. I work in the Institutions Crisis Intervention Team, and every year we have to pass a very demanding physical examination to recertify. Because of my foot, I was unable to do any running because of the pain involved.

Luckily, I found a chiropractic practitioner who was able to ‘correctly' diagnose the REAL problem.

Thanks to the treatments I received over a 3-month period I was able to recertify and keep my job. Going from an ‘incurable condition' I would have to live with for the rest of my life -- to being treated in 3 months...

Well, it was pretty amazing!

I think a lot of people give up on things – they don't want to try different avenues. For me, I didn't want to live with this for the rest of my life. I wasn't about to just give up. I really needed to get the results I did – and I'm grateful for it."

Murray MacFarlane – Corrections Officer

"I get really frustrated when a physical problem affects my training – even to the point of getting annoyed with myself. ‘Why is this problem coming back? I thought I'd already dealt with this?'

So, anything I can do to prevent the injury in the first place is definitely something worth looking into.

This mindset has flowed into other areas of my life as well. When exam time comes around at school, and everyone's walking around feeling stressed, I know I can take a proactive approach and get my studies done BEFORE the exams show up.

If everything comes together at one point – as with an injury – it can get too much and you have to take a step back.

A proactive, preventative mindset definitely helps to alleviate this."
