‘My ultimate goal is to help patients understand that the degree to which their joints and muscles are functioning determines the quality of their motion. After all, function is motion and motion is life.’
‘When I was young, I saw a chiropractor for hip pain. However, it was not until my early twenties that I truly understood the benefits of chiropractic.’ After suffering from recurrent back pain, Dr. Rodine sought chiropractic treatment. Even after the pain subsided, he knew something still was not right. As he continued chiropractic care he gained a new understanding of what it truly means for the body’s mechanics to function properly.
‘Our bodies are really just machines. Like your car, they need a good mechanic who understands what is working, and what needs attended to.’
After receiving an undergraduate degree in Human Kinetics from the University of Ottawa, Dr. Rodine attended the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC) in Toronto, receiving his Doctor of Chiropractic in 2007. Subsequently, Dr. Rodine sought advanced knowledge in clinical research and musculoskeletal health within the Department of Graduate Education and Research Programs at CMCC. This training encompassed clinical practice, research, teaching and endless multidisciplinary exposure.
Dr. Rodine offers a patient-centred approach to chiropractic care. ‘My goal is to educate patients regarding their form and function in an effort to reduce the risk of recurrent painful syndromes; to guide them in their coping strategies when experiencing symptoms; and to eliminate, manage or reduce their symptoms while understanding how their function effects their daily lives.’
To accomplish this, Dr. Rodine weighs the best treatment options suited for each patient’s unique needs. These include hands-on chiropractic adjustments, instrument-assisted adjustments (using an instrument such as the Activator), traction, acupuncture, soft-tissue therapy, exercise and rehabilitation therapy, custom foot orthotics and lifestyle education.
‘My passion is helping patients achieve their health goals and truly realizing how good they can feel again.’
