Dear Patients,

I hope this message finds you and your families well.

I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for the many thoughtful messages, cards, emails, phone calls, gifts, and words of encouragement I have received over the past several months. Your kindness, compassion, and generosity have been a tremendous source of strength during what has been one of the most challenging periods of my life. Please know how deeply grateful I am for your patience, understanding, and continued support.

I would also like to recognize someone who has been truly extraordinary throughout this journey—Gayle Norris ([email protected]).

Many of you have had the pleasure of knowing Gayle over the years. Behind the scenes, she has worked tirelessly to help guide patients, coordinate countless details, answer questions, and support all of us through every stage of this process. Her loyalty, professionalism, calm presence, and unwavering dedication have been nothing short of remarkable, and I am incredibly grateful for everything she continues to do.

As many of you know, patient-centred care has always been at the heart of my practice. While the rebuilding process continues, I remain optimistic that restoration work will begin in the near future. In the meantime, I am pleased to share that several of the outstanding healthcare professionals who were part of LIVA Health have successfully transitioned to new practice locations throughout the Niagara Region. I am delighted that they are continuing to care for patients and are currently welcoming new patients and clients.

I am pleased to recommend the following trusted colleagues, each of whom I know will provide the same compassionate, patient-centred care and continuity of care that you have come to know and trust.

Although I am not currently seeing patients in private practice, I remain committed to staying connected. As I shared previously, my goal is to return to clinical practice in some capacity when the time is right. Until then, my communication channels will remain available in a different capacity, and I look forward to keeping in touch with many of you along the way.

As always, it has been one of the greatest privileges of my career to be part of your healthcare journey. The trust you placed in me and the healthcare providers of LIVA Health over the years is something I will never take for granted.

Thank you once again for your kindness, your patience, and your continued support. I truly hope our paths cross again before too long.

Until we meet again, I wish you and your families continued health, happiness, and all the very best.

Dear Patients,

As many of you know, our community suffered a devastating loss when a fire forced the closure of LIVA Health. While this chapter has come to an unexpected end, I want to express my deepest gratitude for the trust, loyalty, and privilege of serving you and your families for the past 26 years.

My Next Chapter
I am writing to let you know that I am transitioning to a role as a full-time Clinical Teacher and Chiropractic Clinician as part of the Doctor of Chiropractic program within a university environment. While I am not treating patients privately at this exact moment, I am staying active in the profession and planning my next steps.

How to Stay Connected
My goal remains to eventually practice casual/part-time privately once again and serve the wonderful Niagara community. Until then, I will update you with any future practice locations or status changes. If you need to get in touch, please connect using our established clinic telephone number or by mail at:

437 Welland Ave Properties Inc.
c/o Dr. J. Hubley
15 Welland Ave.
St. Catharines, ON L2R 2M1

These contacts will remain, and voicemail messages will be monitored on a limited basis.

Patient Records Notification
Please rest assured that despite the fire, your clinical patient records remain securely stored in strict compliance with provincial privacy regulations and college regulator retention guidelines. If you require a copy of your chart, please submit your request by mail to the address provided above, and I will facilitate the secure transfer for you.

Thank you again for being a vital part of LIVA Health over the last nearly three decades. I look forward to crossing paths with many of you in the Niagara Region in the future.

Warmest regards,
Dr. Joanne Hubley, MSHAPI, DC, FACC

💙 To my dear patients and friends,
You are not forgotten. Quite the opposite — you are the heartbeat of everything I do, and better days are on the horizon. Over the past months, I’ve reflected on the unimaginable loss and disruption faced by so many — each experiencing in different ways. My friends at have reminded me that even after great devastation, anything is possible! Their experience on another level has taken them four years to begin rebuilding after their fire, commencing this April, and that perspective has given me strength and hope as I keep going forward. Let's wish them all the BEST! Keep going!!
Many of you know my journey since our fire: challenge after challenge, personally & professionally, recent eviction of temporary location, and another unexpected move. Despite this, progress is being made every day, thanks to the support of a wonderful MD, compassionate specialist, and supportive counsellor.
This Monday, begins next phase — moving from Unit 11 to Unit 4, still within the same complex. Sorting, selling, giving away, and organizing through pieces of nearly 26 years of dedicated work and cherished memories. Even in the midst of this monumental task, I want you to know: I see you. I care deeply. I will never stop practicing.
Walking through the fire, I may not know exactly what the next chapter of practice looks like, but I do know this: whether it takes six months, a year, or more, I am walking through this fire, not away from it. My faith reminds me that God is faithful, that He knows my character, and that He is not finished with this story yet. Thank you for your kindness, your prayers, and your unwavering belief in me and in my transformative work. I will get there, it's the only way I know. 💙
I also want to express my heartfelt appreciation to everyone who has offered support, empathy, love, and acceptance. So much is happening behind the scenes, it's impossible to share in every detail, too much drama, but know your kindness carries me through. Special thanks to:
Gayle and Gary, my real‑life guardian angels; those who opened up their wallets to help with car payments, food & tuition; cont'd in comments⬇️⬇️⬇️

Caring so badly actually can reverse abilities even when your capability is over the top flawless. Your brain supercedes everything physical and tangible. An explanation rooted in (neuro)science is the why getting unstuck requires far more than willpower.

The same message will be sent via the database for those not on the social media pages.

Hello Everyone,

It feels like an eternity since I last saw you, and I genuinely miss every-body. Regular updates have been scarce simply because there hasn’t been much to report.

At the onset, when I first described feeling completely devastated and heartbroken, those words still capture the truth perfectly. The phases of demolition, remediation, restoration, and rebuilding remain essential steps toward standing tall. 

Each stage brings about new challenges—roadblocks, hard truths, and unexpected delays. Even simple tasks, like getting utilities connected at the temporary warehouse office (still not fully accomplished), have turned into major hurdles. Illnesses, snowstorms, delays, and holidays continue to slow progress in one way or another.  

A practice built over 26 years cannot be rebuilt overnight, even just trying to capture the essentials is proving more complex than ever imagined. The ongoing process of setting up, cleaning out, sorting through, seeking practice advisements, and making decisions at every turn has been overwhelming, time-consuming, and, quite frankly, I’m doing the very best possible. Yet, moving forward remains the only direction.  

The loss of something so meaningful has created a void deeper than any I’ve faced before—and there have been some very difficult ones, to say the least. 

Yesterday brought a small sign of hope: a bid was finally awarded for the demolition work to begin. That step marks tangible progress.  

I’ll continue sharing updates as things move forward, super appreciate every check‑in and kind offers of support.  Doing my best, personally to get back to each and everyone of you.  Even when things appear quiet on the surface, much activity continues behind the scenes, with no rest for the wicked!

Gratitude runs deep for the kindness and understanding extended while I manage limited bandwidth.

One shift to any one of your (sensory) systems throws your alignment off.

You see, itts more than biomechanics and structure - its your nervous system! It CRAVES precision function!

I have been crusading to communicate this JUICY message about importance of Chiropractic movement for nearly 26 years @ LIVA Health - Your Body. Your Life TM.

Much GRATITUDE to my patients consistently partaking in my easy patient education system that it finally is sinking in!

Sincerely,
Dr. Joanne

Thanks in advance WATCH to advance Back health LEARNING and READ to the end for LIVA Health FIRE UPDATE #5.

Sadly and frankly, the ongoing state of healthcare in Ontario and across Canada — particularly in neuromusculoskeletal (NMSK) care — remains deeply disappointing. Ontario continues to fail its back pain patients, leaving too many without timely access to evidence‑based, best‑practice care.

Access to the most effective, evidence‑based (EVB) spine care remains restricted, often requiring referral into specialized hospital‑affiliated spine programs. Wait times and system barriers are unacceptably long, even for patients who have already exhausted every conservative option.

Publicly funded lumbar disc replacement — a motion‑preserving alternative to spinal fusion — is typically performed only in select tertiary centres, mainly large academic hospitals. Even within these programs, many spine surgeons restrict artificial disc replacement to the cervical (neck) region, continuing to use fusion procedures for the lumbar spine.In Ontario, complex spine surgery is largely available through university‑affiliated programs such as the University of Toronto Spine Program (St. Michael’s, Sunnybrook, and Toronto Western/UHN) and the Krembil Neuroscience Centre. Access is dependent on a referral from a family physician (not a walk‑in doctor) to a Rapid Access Clinic (RAC) or central spine intake program. There, an advanced practice provider conducts the initial assessment and triages appropriate candidates to tertiary‑level spine surgeons.

When speaking with RAC clinicians or spine clinics, patients should explicitly ask whether lumbar artificial disc replacement — not fusion — is offered at that specific centre, and whether any surgeons perform it regularly. Availability continues to vary by hospital and practitioner.

For Niagara residents, RAC services are available at Port Health Clinic (1–2 days weekly with Dr. M. Riva) and in Vineland with Dr. Jenna McFarlane; both are chiropractors operating within government‑funded programs.

This represents a superior approach, grounded in evidence-based principles rather than profit motives or unverified scientific claims, as discussed in the referenced article. With clinics in TO and Hamilton, give them a call. You'll make a far more profound impact when combined with behavioral sciences to finally, break free from weekly rote mediocre routines.
