About Me

Hello to you!

Located on the second floor, east side of the Waterfront Business Centre building (145 Chadwick Court), Root Cause Chiropractic is the solo practice of 41-year veteran practitioner Dr. Linda Drake (that’s me!). Wanting to simplify my life, I decided to close our long-term clinic, Foundation for Integrated Health, and open a solo practice to focus on what I love most – treating patients and seeing them improve and thrive!

Root Cause Chiropractic is a technique that I imagined 32+ years ago and have continued to add new dimensions to through the years. Focused primarily as neurologically based treatment, this very gentle and mostly non-manipulative technique works from the Central Nervous System out to the Musculoskeletal System, so your treatment protocols as supported by a properly functioning Central Nervous System. It is like “rebooting” your computer, which always runs smoother after the process. You will too!

Root Cause Chiropractic incorporates many different aspects of treatment:

  • Postural-focused, neurologically derived. This works so well with Active Rehab training and Pilates/Yoga as we also focus on breathing and core bracing patterns.
  • Trigenics Neuromuscular Rebalancing. This treatment supports proper joint movement and mobility, restores strength to weak muscles and gently removes chronic areas of tightness, spasm and trigger points without excessive pain.
  • Myofascial Percussor Release. This is the release of chronically tight fascia and muscles due to chronic, low grade nerve compression.
  • Myofascial Percussor Release with Laser. This provides support for your SCAR tissue, both external and internal!
  • Whole body approach. This means the solution to your pain may not be where the pain is. In other words, a pain centered approach often does not solve the pain!
  • Cranial specific treatments. For chronic upper neck, skull, facial and temporomandibular pain/problems – which can also relate to lower back and pelvic issues, breathing issues
  • Extensive experience. 15+ years of treating Concussions/mTBI, 10+ years certified Complete Concussion Management Certified Practitioner with proprietary cold laser protocols for treatment. Work with other health professions to create a team approach as needed.

So as a solo practitioner, with all these different aspects to practice, I can integrate our treatment plan because I have many tools in my belt to use to assist you in your health journey.

My new motto is “Miracles Performed Daily”! If you have had a miracle recovery or positive change in your condition, I encourage you to help others find the same by leaving me a Google Review for my new website.

Thanks for all your support! 

Linda

What is a Whole Body Approach?

Conventional medicine approaches often focus on the pain, and the reduction of pain. While this can work in some cases, it often does not solve the problem.  Looking at the whole body and how it integrates together digs deeper into the WHY of what the issue is and then seeks to heal the body from many different points of view.  Long term pain causes an increase in the stress response (increased Sympathetic Nervous System “drive”) which is not a good place to heal from! Painful therapies increase this and reduce the ability of the body to heal! Root Cause Chiropractic is stress reducing, gentle and effective at finding the root issue, reducing the overall effect throughout the body and increasing the body’s ability to self-heal. Truly mind, body, and spirit…
