Services
Chiropractic Chiropractic is a primary healthcare profession in the Pickering, Ontario area. Chiropractic doctors use non-invasive, hands-on techniques to diagnose, treat and prevent disorders related to the spine, pelvis, nervous system and joints (musculoskeletal system).
Massage Therapy Massage therapy benefits people of all ages throughout the Pickering area, including people with acute to chronic conditions. It enhances an overall sense of emotional and physical wellbeing through:

Improving joint mobility
Reducing or eliminating pain
Improving circulation
Improving lymphatic drainage
Reducing muscular tension
Calming the nervous system
Shockwave Therapy Shockwave therapy involves applying an acoustic wave that carries high energy to painful spots and areas of the body experiencing musculoskeletal issues. The application of this energy activates the regeneration and reparative processes natural to the tendons, bones, and other soft tissues.
Naturopathic Medicine Naturopathic medicine centres on treating the whole person. That is, a naturopathic doctor will investigate all factors that may affect your health to understand the source of your health problem(s), thus treating the root causes of illness, not just the symptoms.
Acupuncture According to ancient Chinese theories, the body is a network of interacting energies. The even distribution and smooth flow of these energies will maintain health. Any interruption, depletion or stagnation in these energies will lead to disease. The goal of acupuncture is to correct imbalances in the flow and restore health through stimulation.

Dr. Taylor Ostrander is a gifted Chiropractor. She is so compassionate and caring. She listens well and answers all my questions. She is very knowledgeable. I went to Dr. Taylor with my shoulder Supraspinatus full thickness tear related neck pain. She figured out the reason and treated me. I am so much impressed with her professional approach. Highly recommend

I rarely take time to leave Google Reviews but, I wanted to ensure that I wrote out how thankful I am for Dr. Nimal's help at Active Integrative Medicine (AIM). I've played basketball my entire life and have never suffered an injury like I had 3 months ago. My right arm experienced a bit of nerve damage which negatively impacted both my personal & work life terribly.

After an evening in an ER, doctors appointments, x-rays/ultrasounds and a ton of prescribed painkillers - the issue was essentially left to me to find a specialist and begin the journey to full recovery. I met Dr. Nimal and she was extremely down to Earth; patient, both a great listener and conversationalist. She truly wanted to find the best solution towards remedying the crippling pain and for the first time in a long time (after having had numerous chiropractor experiences in the past) I felt cared for like a person, rather than simply another client in a long work day's agenda.

I've seen Dr. Nimal at minimum once per week, sometimes twice per week, for the past 3 months and I am so glad to be getting my life back on track as the summer is now finally beginning. She is such a thorough Chiropractor, and between that specific type of therapy, the Acupuncture that she provides as well, and what she has instructed me to complete at home in regards to personal exercises - they have truly made more of a difference than any painkiller could have benefited my scenario.

I'm truly thankful for my appointments and interactions with Dr. Nimal. I've lived in Durham Region for the past 10 years and I certainly believe that she is one of the greatest doctors here in our area. Thank you, Dr. Nimal, and to the team at Active Integrative Medicine.

Dr Ho is such a compassionate, kind professional and always makes me feel at ease. She has been an integral part of my health journey and I know I'm in good hands. All of my encounters with staff at the AIM clinic has been warm and inviting, and especially during the uncertainty of the Covid pandemic they have always made me feel safe and supported.

This wasn't quite the same as an in-person appointment, but I did find it excellent and a great tool for communicating and sharing some of the issues I am dealing with. The screen sharing and ability to have my web-cam in hand also were very useful. Obviously this is also very convenient and safe!

I have had 3 sessions with Melissa and I just booked my next one. I had a few knots on my back that were bothering me and today after the 3rd session, I feel like a million bucks! I would highly recommend Melissa to anyone who is looking for a RMT on an ongoing basis.

Melissa is by far the best massage therapist I have ever been to. I have seen Melissa for many reasons; pains and discomforts due to work, pregnancy, injuries, etc. I can guarantee that i will always leave feeling 100% better. Melissa is thorough, a professional and offers a welcoming experience every time. I would recommend Melissa to everyone i know.
