Who We Are

Life is too short to be slowed down by pain. At Oakridge Chiropractic and Wellness Centre our goal is simple – to get you back to doing what you love to do without pain or discomfort, and to help you stay there.

Oakridge Chiropractic and Wellness Centre has been serving the community for 50 years. In 2023 we moved across the parking lot to a brand new building. Throughout it all, the level of care and warm reception you receive at our clinic remain unchanged.

The practice was originally owned and operated by Dr. David Walcott, back in 1976. His associate, Dr. Collin Watson, purchased the practice in 2004 after working here for five years. Shortly after, Dr. Ron Barlot joined the team. Over time, we have added a few more registered massage therapists, a Traditional Chinese medicine acupuncturist, a marriage/family counsellor and most recently an osteopath.

Our clinic now provides a range of complementary disciplines for the complete and effective treatment of a number of health conditions. Our 3-phased approach begins with providing the pain relief that you're looking for, but it goes beyond simply providing a band-aid solution to your symptoms. By understanding and treating the root cause of the pain that's holding you back, we can get your body back to functioning at its optimum level and ensure that this level is maintained.

Let us help you get back to living life to its fullest.
