This approach takes brain plasticity into account. Brain plasticity means that the brain CAN and DOES repair itself and change in response to damage caused by an injury or illness. Taking advantage of brain plasticity is done by activating - or stimulating - the brain using traditional therapeutic techniques coupled with new approaches and technologies.
Not just any form of stimulation will work. Activities or therapies that are specifically designed to activate the damaged sections of the brain are most effective. We are an experienced team dedicated to maximizing your potential for brain, spine and mental health.

Everyone facing a traumatic life-event benefits from the best outside help. We can deny or resist aid but pride only takes us so far. CIRI deservedly earned past awards but they shine in their personal understanding and unwavering commitment to my long-term well-being. Expertise makes a difference. Added to compassionate care, it makes all the difference.

I have been with Complex Injury Rehab for approximately 2 years. The service from them has been awesome. All staff are courteous and informative. They go above and beyond to help you with all your needs and wants, and are always suggesting new ways to help with every day life styles. What makes me comfortable with them is their understanding of TBI's, and they never make you feel rushed in a session. I would recommend Complex Injury Rehab 100%

I've seen Shawn as a chiro and as a physio for a couple years and he is 5 stars! 10/10! (I actually followed him from another clinic because he's wonderful). He's extremely communicative about the manipulations he's doing to my body, and is always willing to explain in more detail what is going on presently / the reasons why things may have developed. I really feel like I leave each session with a better understanding of my body and the tools to continue working on improving myself. The complex injury clinic is a beautiful, clean space and everyone I've interacted with there has been extremely

I had a severe herniated disc in my lower back and was seeking treatment for my recovery. At first, I was hesitant to see a Chiropractor but I’m so happy that I did. Luckily Dr Gargoum worked at the same office (WHC) as my family physician so I started seeing him. Dr Gargoum laid out a recovery plan for me that started with acupuncture, light physical work, and then moved onto adjustments when I was physically ready. It was a plan that was key to my successful recovery. I really appreciate his open and honest communication that was very helpful during a 2 year recovery period. Now I’m back

I met with Dr. Shawn Gargoum after injured at work. He took the time to understand exactly what was hurting and prepared an excellent treatment plan that had me back to work immediately. He did a fantastic job and I highly recommend seeing him if you are recovering from an injury. Thank You Dr. Shawn Gargoum!

Cannot say how impressive Shawn is as a chiropractor. I was having extreme back pain and my wife gave me assistance to attend his office. After a combination of massage and acupuncture l walked out feeling great! Anytime l have back issues Shawn’s office is the first stop. Not only is he highly skilled his explanations and people skills are exemplary. I have absolutely no hesitation recommending this chiropractor. He only treats you when it is necessary.

I was referred to the clinic upon sustaining a concussion after a car accident. All the staff were amazing from reception to my recovery team. All of the professionals you will interact with there are stellar. When it looked like I might have stalled in my progress they worked together and found new and improved available programs to work through. I know I would not have made such permanent improvements if it wasn't for my team at Complex Injury Rehab. I am forever grateful.
