Chiropractic was established in 1895 by D.D. Palmer in Iowa, USA. It is based on the belief that the body can regulate and heal itself through the nerves of the body and spinal cord which is controlled by the brain. When the vertebrae gets out of alignment or 'subluxated', then the nervous system that travels through it can be pinched or damaged which can cause organs and tissues throughout the body to malfunction.
We are conveniently located on the north side of St. Clair West, just west of Christie Street. If commuting by subway, and you want to get off right near our front door, just hop on any westbound bus or street car from St. Clair W Subway, and you are there in 2 stops, or you can enjoy a 3 minute walk to our office.

After only one appointment, I had the best sleep I've had in years. I had my first appointment last night to address years of pain and I felt instant relief after the adjustments! I'm so excited to continue with a treatment plan to live the best quality of life, rather than living with discomfort and masking it with Advil. Great environment and team also. Thank you!

So happy that I came across Dr Kris Dorken as he fully fixed my lower back issues. I had developed over the years very bad chronic back pain and mobility issues that even the smallest task would be so hard to do.
I tried other chiropractors over the years and while I would get temporary relief, there was never a permanent positive result.
What I really enjoyed from Dr Dorken was right at the start he took
X-Rays to fully assess and pinpoint what was going on with my spine.
Once he found and showed me the problems he got to work with his adjustments.
Also on top of adjusting my spine and neck

This clinic is amazing. From the friendly front desk staff to Dr Kris. My husband had severe back pain which was preventing his mobility and when we started seeing Dr Kris, he was able to find relief and see total reversal of his symptoms. The clinic is clean and well organized. The doctor is extremely detail oriented and dedicated to his patients wellbeing. The clinic is busy and at times there is a little waiting time in between appointments. I would recommend this clinic to anyone who is in pain and needs a good doctor.

The new location is super clean and spacious. Right as I entered I was welcomed by the kind front desk staff. Jessica, the RMT, was fabulous. She applied enough pressure to the sore areas in my body and made sure I was okay throughout my massage. What made my experience even better was that she's a great conversationalist, she really made me feel comfortable. I can't wait for my next appointment!

I started seeing Dr.Kris a few months ago due to hip and pelvic issues caused by pregnancy. I was experiencing excruciating pain that I was told would just get worse as the baby grew. Now I am almost 100% pain free and my hips have stopped popping. I have been sharing my experience with everyone who will listen. I will be continuing my appointments this entire pregnancy!

Extremely friendly and accommodating staff! I hear back from them right away and they are always able to accommodate schedule changes.
The adjustments are on time and incredibly effective. Dr. Kris takes the time to give you the best personally-tailored care possible. He's always available to provide suggestions, exercises and chat. He even follows up after initial adjustment and assessments. Looking forward to visiting Core Wellness for many years to come!

I have not been going to Core Wellness Centre very long, but I am extremely happy with their over all operation. Very professional, informative and you really get the sense that they care about your wellbeing and also improving it. I went there because of a neck and back injury from training in martial arts (krav maga) which can be very intense and… was taking a toll on my body. I feel a lot better knowing that my injuries will get better and I am being guided to do so by people who care and who are passionate and knowledgable about what they practice. Which I find can be rare and hard to

I was in a lot of discomfort due to my desk job and bad habits. I went here with a Groupon for a 30 minute massage and chiropractic adjustment and assessment. I felt so tight with a permanent kink I'm my neck and sore arms.I felt better immediately and every day I'm able to stretch more. my arms don't ache and I can turn my head. Great team. Dr Dorken is very friendly and very professional. Excellent chiropractor. I have been back to see him and would highly recommend his clinic.

He has changed my life. A life with pain is not living. Before I saw Dr Kris, I had constant pain and it stop me from doing the things I loved. I wasn't present to life because my pain preoccupied me. 4 years later, I still see doctor Kris and I now live the life I love, being extremely active and I'm stronger physically and mentally than I've ever been. I also rarely get sick. All good things take time and if you follow his recommendations and are consistent with your visits I have no doubt you will have the results you desire.

Two years ago I started seeing Dr. Kris Dorken to improve my posture and overall health. I didn't have any major health issue - I just wanted to be healthier and find someone who could help me be my best. I felt very inspired by Dr. Dorken because he is very knowledgeable and is constantly learning to provide the best care for his patients. He uses different techniques, develops a unique treatment plan for each person and he and his staff follows up with you to make sure the plan they designed for you works well for you. He is able to answers my questions in detail. You are always greeted

I've been seeing Dr Kris for more than three years (along with my partner and my sister). We each came with different concerns--I've had some back and neck pain and general low energy and immunity, and since I started treatment its made a world of difference! Less pain and stiffness, better sleep, better moods, and all around better health and… energy levels! Not to mention going to his office is always a great experience because everyone who works there is so wonderful and friendly, and Dr Kris cares and takes extra interest in your health, asking and answering questions and concerns, and

The most important thing about Core Wellness (specifically Dr. Kris and his staff) is that they REALLY care about you. I don't feel like a piggy bank when I go in there, I feel like a real person. That is actually really hard to find these days.
The adjustments and treatment I have recieved have been amazing. Unlike many other practitioners I have been to, they actually teach you about your problem and figure out a plan that suits your needs. A plan that not only relieves pain but gives you a positive attitude about your health and well being.
I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Kris and his team

I had what was supposed to be a RMT massage at Core Wellness and it was the worst massage I've ever had and one of the most terrible experiences.
I was not properly draped (only a small towel that covered 1/3 of my body), the therapist used a machine on my back straight away that hurt and when I protested, she ignored me. It was, quite simply, not a massage. She spent a lot of time tickling instead of massaging, she put on latex gloves to massage my feet and when I asked for more covers because I was cold, she ignored me. I asked again, and she grudgingly obliged, only to have the 2nd towel
