Discover More Than Just a Quick Fix at Barrhaven Family Chiropractic

Proudly serving the Barrhaven community since 1994  

If daily discomfort is keeping you from enjoying time with your family, staying active, or feeling like yourself, you’re not alone. At Barrhaven Family Chiropractic, we believe your body is designed to heal when your nervous system and structure work in harmony. Our family-run practice helps people across Barrhaven move better, feel stronger, and reclaim the lives they love through gentle, personalized corrective chiropractic care focused on lasting structural change, not quick fixes.

Why Choose Us as Your Barrhaven Chiropractors

Many practices focus only on easing symptoms, but we focus on Neuro-Structural correction. We address the structural and postural issues behind your challenges so your spine, disc and nervous system can work optimally, so your body can heal and become a faster responder. This results in less need for frequent appointments, less chances of relapses, and a healthier aging process.

Every relationship begins with a thorough, no-guesswork assessment, including a detailed history, physical examination, and digital X-rays when appropriate. Our goal is to clearly understand what's happening in your body so we can recommend care that makes sense and give you honest expectations. If we don't believe we've identified the core problem, we'll refer you to the professional who can best help.

We also believe in "spinal hygiene"—just as you care for your teeth, periodic spinal checkups help keep you moving comfortably and age with vitality.

Our Services for Every Stage of Life

We offer services to support you at every age, including:

Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care focuses on restoring proper alignment and movement to spinal joints that obstruct the nervous system and healing process. It's ideal for individuals experiencing pain, stiffness, discomfort, poor posture , and reduced mobility. By improving spinal alignment, joint motion and nervous system communication, your body can start to heal , move more freely and function more efficiently.Chiropractic care is used by millions of Canadians to reduce pain,help prevent health problems and more importantly… IMPROVE PERFORMANCE of their bodies at every stage of life.
Chiropractic Care
Neurostructural Correction

NeuroStructural correction addresses long-standing structural and postural shifts that interfere with spinal alignment and nervous system performance. This approach is especially helpful for individuals dealing with chronic or recurring issues that haven't fully resolved. Conditions like Scoliosis, Hyperkyphosis and Spondylolithesis .By correcting the underlying structural problem, pressure on nerves and discs are diminished more effectively, so the body can heal ,stabilize and experience more sustainable improvement. Structure always drives function,this is our focus!
Neurostructural Correction
Scoliosis Care

Our scoliosis care focuses on evaluating and supporting abnormal spinal curvature patterns in children, teens, and adults. Through detailed assessment and structured care plans, we aim to improve balance, posture, and spinal stability. Early detection and attention can help reduce some of the deformity ,progression and support healthier long-term spinal development. We do this with a combination of mirror image adjustments, spinal traction, specific exercises and using a Scolibrace in some cases.
Scoliosis Care
ScoliBrace

ScoliBrace is a customized bracing system designed specifically for growing children and adolescents diagnosed with scoliosis. Each brace is tailored to the individual's curve pattern to help guide spinal growth during key developmental years. This structured support may improve spinal structure,postural balance and help reduce curve progression,reducing the risk of surgery. Over 30% of seniors over the age of 65 now suffer from degenerative scoliosis. We can also use the Scolibrace in our senior population to reduce chronic back pain, and prevent further progression of spinal degeneration with only 4-6 hours of brace wear time per day.
ScoliBrace
Pregnancy Chiropractic

Pregnancy chiropractic care uses gentle, specialized techniques to support pelvic alignment and spinal balance during pregnancy. Expectant mothers often seek care to ease discomfort and promote better overall function as their body changes. Proper alignment may also support more optimal positioning for delivery. 
Pregnancy Chiropractic
Pediatric Chiropractic

The birthing process can be very traumatic for little one, with a lot of forces applied to the head and neck area. Sometimes this can cause unnecessary tension in the spine leading to issues such as; torticollis, colic, constipation, chronic ear infections, poor focus and attention just to name a few. Pediatric chiropractic care involves light, precise adjustments designed specifically for infants, toddlers, and growing children. It supports developing nervous systems, posture, coordination, and overall wellness. Techniques are extremely gentle, using pressure similar to touching your eyelid. We help unwind the tension. 
Pediatric Chiropractic
Sports and Athletes Care

Athletic chiropractic care focuses on improving movement efficiency, flexibility, and structural balance for active individuals. Whether you're a competitive athlete or a weekend warrior, optimized alignment can enhance performance and reduce strain. It also supports faster recovery and injury prevention. 
Sports and Athletes Care
Drug-less ADHD Relief

Our drug-less ADHD approach focuses on improving spinal alignment and nervous system regulation in children experiencing focus and attention challenges. By supporting better neurological communication, some families notice improvements in concentration and behavior. Care plans are tailored to each child's specific structural findings. 
Drug-less ADHD Relief
Cold Laser Therapy

Cold laser therapy uses low-level light energy to stimulate cellular repair and tissue healing. It is commonly used for soft tissue discomfort, inflammation, and slower-healing injuries. This non-invasive approach helps promote circulation and recovery at the cellular level.
Cold Laser Therapy
Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy uses acoustic wave technology to stimulate healing in stubborn soft tissue areas. It is often recommended for chronic tendon or ligament concerns that have not responded to other approaches. By encouraging circulation and tissue regeneration, it supports natural recovery.
Shockwave Therapy

Frequently Asked Questions

If I've never received chiropractic care before, will it hurt?

Not usually. Adjustments restore alignment and movement to joints that aren't moving properly. There is little to no pain associated with chiropractic adjustments. Some may experience some soreness temporarily like going to the gym for the first time.

What makes Barrhaven Family Chiropractic unique?

We specialize in neuro-structural correction and use thorough assessments, including digital X-rays when needed, and if we don't believe we've identified the core issue, we'll refer you to the right professional.

What's that 'cracking' noise?

The audible cavitation that occurs with certain manual chiropractic adjustments are NOT bones moving, that noise is simply the release of gas within the joint. If you're uncomfortable with the "cracking" sound, we have gentle, low-force options that we can tailor for you. Our job is to make you feel comfortable!

Is chiropractic safe for kids or during pregnancy?

Yes. Dr. Majida is Webster certified and uses gentle techniques for expectant mothers, infants, and children, with very light pressure similar to touching your eyelid.

Once I start, will I always have to go?

No. Many practice members choose periodic wellness and maintenance care because they feel and move better and see the value it adds to their life as they age. Similar to frequent dental cleanings, spinal hygiene is important. You are the driver in your health journey, the option is ALWAYS up to you.

Will I need X-rays?

We use digital X-rays on site only when necessary to diagnose the underlying cause of your challenges and develop the most effective care plan, and we always review the images with you.
