We focus our practice on the management of neuromusculoskeletal disorders and rehabilitation for over 30 years.
At St. Anne's Rd. Chiropractic we believe your care should work quickly, be cost-effective, based on the latest research and done in collaboration with other health care professionals.
Healthy joints and muscles require freedom of movement. Our goal is to enhance spinal stability, improve posture and balance with state-of-the-art treatment modalities and specific exercise programs.
About St. Anne's Road Chiropractic
Our goal at St. Anne's Road Chiropractic is to facilitate healing and restore efficient movement and comfort as quickly as possible. We achieve this through proven hands-on techniques, one-on-one therapy, individualized rehabilitation programs and bespoke treatment plans designed for each patient.
Our office has been serving Manitobans since 1987. Get in touch to find out more and to book your first appointment.
We understand how frustrating your pain can be and strive to offer each and every one of our patients personalized and attentive care.
At St. Anne's Rd. Chiropractic, we strive to not only treat but also educate our patients about pain and pain management. You may not know that your constant headaches are a symptom of a neck strain, or that your constant knee pain is caused by a misaligned back. Many of our patients come in complaining of pain in one part of their body to find out that it can be treated by working on a totally different area. A skilled chiropractor can even decrease or completely alleviate pain caused by arthritis or resulting from whiplash and other injuries. Dr. Stewart will also be able to counsel on the best pain management treatment for your unique situation.

St. Anne's Road Chiropractic Services
A Personal Approach
Chiropractic Treatment
Chiropractors are experts in spinal health care. They will cater every treatment to your specific needs and condition. They have an array of treatment options and will determine the best treatment with the patient at the time of care. These may include chiropractic adjustment, soft tissue therapy, rehabilitation exercises, laser and other therapeutic techniques.
The World Health Organization defines the Chiropractic Adjustment as 'Any chiropractic therapeutic procedure that ultimately uses controlled forces, leverage, direction, amplitude and velocity, which is applied to specific joints and adjacent tissues. Chiropractors commonly use such procedures to influence joint and neurophysiological function.' – World Health Organization 2005
Rehabilitation
Activity has been shown to be effective for preventing or treating many of the most common chronic ailments in our society today. At St. Anne's Rd Chiropractic, we can provide patients with specifically tailored rehabilitation exercise programs with the goal to restore function. The evidence in favour of reactivation exercise for spine patients is strong, including low back pain, neck pain and whiplash injury. Deconditioning normally accompanies acute low back pain and preventing this has been shown to reduce recurrence rates.
LiteCure Class IV ColdLaser Therapy
What is Laser Therapy?
Laser Therapy is the use of specific wavelengths of light (red and near infrared) for therapeutic effects (improved healing time, pain reduction, increased circulation, and decreased swelling)
How is our Laser treatment different than other Laser treatments?
The majority of lasers on the market today have a power range from .005 W to .5 W, making them a Class "IIIB" Cold Laser. Our FDA approved LiteCure Laser emits a power range from 1 W to 10 W making it a Class IV Laser and several thousand times more powerful than most other therapeutic Lasers.
What types of conditions can be treated with Class IV Laser?
Common conditions treated include: neck pain, low back pain, disc herniations, sciatica, frozen shoulder, rotator cuff injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, tendonitis, arthritis, sprains and strains, plantar fascitiis, heel spurs, and fibromyalgia. Lasers have been shown to reduce pain and inflammation, stimulate nerve regeneration, and result in muscle relaxation and tissue healing.
Can it be used in conjunction with other forms of treatment?
Yes, Laser Therapy is even more effective when combined with other forms of therapy.
Side effects? Contraindications? What does a treatment feel like?
Laser Therapy is very safe and there are no known side effects. Lasers have no effect on normal tissues, as photons of light are only absorbed and utilized by the cells that need them. Laser Therapy is not recommended, however, for patients who are taking light sensitive drugs or who are pregnant. We also do not perform Laser Therapy over an area that has been injected with steroids within 7 days. It is not to be used over eyes. There are certain instances where the doctor may not recommend Laser Therapy on pediatric patients. It cannot be used on patients with active forms of cancer. Laser Therapy does not hurt.
How many treatments will be required and how long does each treatment take?
Chronic problems and/or deep-seated conditions may take as many as 10 treatments. If there is no improvement after six sessions, we would most likely discontinue further treatment.
Soft Tissue Therapies
An assessment is performed to determine what muscle imbalances and deficiencies are present and then specialised techniques are performed to help restore muscles to their optimal length, tone and strength.
TENS/IFC Electrical Treatments
This form of therapy applies low-medium frequency electrical currents through the skin to help increase localised blood flow to improve healing, reduce swelling and pain and relax muscle spasm.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound therapy is the application of high frequency sound waves to increase blood supply to help promote healing. It may also reduce pain and soften scar tissue.
Custom Made Orthotics
At St. Anne's Rd. Chiropractic orthotics can be specially fitted when required. We utilize Foot Levelers, the world's largest manufacturer of custom-made foot orthotics.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor?
No. Although many of our patients are referred in by medical doctors, Chiropractors are 'primary contact' health care providers, meaning you do not need to be referred in to see a Chiropractor.
Once starting chiropractic, do I continue with it forever?
Some people believe that once you see a Chiropractor once you will need to continue going forever. Our goal is to get our patients relief and restore function as quickly as possible. We also offer rehabilitation and lifestyle advise to prevent recurrence of the condition. In some cases we may recommend periodical appointments to keep the condition stable.
What can I expect from treatment?
At our Centre there is an array of different treatment options, which may include spinal manipulation, soft tissue therapy, rehabilitation exercises and stretches, laser therapy, and massage. We will cater every treatment to your specific needs and condition.
What types of health insurance do you accept?
We direct bill to Blue Cross, Greenshield, Great West Life, Chambers, Claim Secure, Caughlin, Desjardins, Equitable Life, Group Health, Manulife, MaxBenefits, RWAM, Sunlife, and Serius. Other form of insurance we will bill the patient and provide appropriate documents for the patients to submit independently.
How many treatments will I need?
Results depend from patient to patient and depend on your condition. Some things that influence the length of the period of care include your age, the amount of time you have had the problem, your health status, and your level of disability. That said, our goal is to have you pain-free and functioning well as soon as possible.
Studies performed by the Workers’ Compensation Board show that people with low back pain return to work much faster with the help of chiropractic care.
I have had back surgery, can I still benefit from chiropractic care?
Yes, you can. It is an unfortunate fact that some people who have undergone back surgery see symptoms of their original condition (often in the form of pain or reduced flexibility) come back after a number of years. Chiropractic care is a safe and efficient way of alleviating the pain associated both with your back condition and the stress of back surgery.
Can I receive chiropractic care if I am pregnant?
Yes. Chiropractic care is safe and effective throughout your pregnancy. The Doctors will address any specific needs throughout the term of your pregnancy. The biomechanical changes, and accompanying pain, of pregnancy are usually alleviated gently and safely with chiropractic care.
Is chiropractic care safe for neck pain?
Research has conclusively demonstrated that chiropractic care is as safe as, or safer than, any over-the-counter medication for neck pain (Bone and Joint Decade 2008).
What forms of payment do you accept?
Cash, debit, Visa-debit, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, cheque
