Dr. Paat

Chiropractic care for the whole family. Child development & behaviour assessment & integration.

Specializing in a drug-free, non-invasive approach to address the underlying issues related to development and learning. Children who benefit from this program often exhibit characteristics of ADHD, processing/comprehension disorder, DCD, dyslexia, OCD, social inhibitions, bed-wetting, among many other learning and behavioral concerns that plague so many school aged children today. The fundamental

issue may be linked to desynchronization of the brain, creating a functional disconnection. Kara Paat offers a neurodevelopmental evaluation to determine the underlying cause/level of dysfunction or immaturity. A specific protocol may then be implemented to improve the foundation. Strengthening the foundation and neuronal pathways, may lead to improved cognitive, behavioral, sensory, ocular, vestibular, and motor function! All of which may benefit the child in the classroom, freeing them of internal distractions to focus on the task at hand. Accreditations and licensure

⭐️Babies Benefit from Chiropractic Too
Here's Why...
-Spinal alignment & movement – checking for tension or restrictions from birth.
-Primitive reflexes – making sure early reflexes are present, integrated, and supporting development.
-Cranial movement – gentle assessment of head shape, symmetry, and motion.
-Posture & muscle tone – looking for imbalances or favouring one side (like with tummy time or turning the head).
-Nervous system function – observing how the baby feeds, sleeps, digests, and responds to touch/movement.
⭐️ In short: chiropractors look at how well the baby’s body and nervous system are adapting so they can grow, move, and thrive.

⭐️Chiropractic adjustments can influence the function of internal organs (viscera) — sometimes helping with symptoms like indigestion, menstrual cramps, and breathing issues?
The spine doesn’t just protect your spinal cord — it also houses nerve roots that connect to your internal organs. Misalignments (subluxations) can irritate these nerves, potentially affecting how your organs function. Adjustments can relieve this nerve interference, which may improve symptoms like:
Acid reflux or indigestion
Asthma or difficulty breathing
Menstrual cramps
Constipation or irregular bowel movements
‼️Call (705) 971-2656 for a spinal assessment.
