I have had the pleasure of working with Back On Track since 2013, I have since experienced working with a group of highly skilled professionals in health rehabilitation.

I earned my Bachelor of Health Science degree from Western University and earned early acceptance to the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College, and graduated in 2008. I initially began my career in private practice in British Colombia and eventually moved back home.

Since beginning my professional role with Back On Track I have pursued further study in Concussion Management and Vestibular Rehabilitation. I continue to pursue continuing education to further my clinical abilities.

Recently, as well as providing private service, I have been working with the Interprofessional Spinal Assessment and Education Clinics as an Advanced Practice Clinician for the Kemptville area. Through this training at the Ottawa Hospital and the ISAEC team, I have further advanced diagnosis and management strategies.

You should expect that an initial visit with a chiropractor should include a full history of symptoms and orthopaedic examination as well as a clear and concise diagnosis. A plan of management will then be determined and agreed upon, with an emphasis on evidenced based care.

Andrea is an area local who grew up in Mountain, Ontario. She completed a Bachelor’s of Science in Human Kinetics and then went on to pursue a Masters of Physical Therapy from the University of British Columbia.

Andrea also aims to further her learning through continuing education courses.  She currently has certifications in functional dry needling, soft tissue release, concussion management, and vestibular rehabilitation.

In her spare time, she enjoys playing hockey, skiing, and hiking with her dog. Andrea is eager to work with new clients from a variety of backgrounds and injuries to help them achieve their goals.

Originally from Timmins, Ontario, Jordan made her way to Ottawa in 2017 to attend Algonquin College to pursue her interest in Massage Therapy. While obtaining her advanced diploma, she also received a much deeper understanding of the human body than she could ever anticipate. Jordan fell in love with the profession and the heartwarming feeling of knowing she will make a difference in others’ lives. While being a student, she realized that she enjoyed working with connective tissue, more specifically, scar tissue. For her, one of the most rewarding moments is seeing a client regain their range of motion within just a few treatments!

Prior to starting her career with Back On Track, Jordan worked as an RMT at the internationally recognized Post Hotel located in Lake Louise, Alberta. The Post Hotel is one of Canadas five-star hotels and has also been voted the #1 resort in the country. Here she provided various treatments such as Deep Tissue massage, Swedish massage, Aromatherapy, and Thai Stem massage.

Jordan is excited and looking forward to beginning her career with Back on Track, building connections with new clients and treating them with professional healing care!
