As long as Dr. Sidhu can remember, she’s always liked to go against the grain, explore, and learn new things. “I like challenges and inventing my own path.” She’d never heard of chiropractic care, however, until she worked in an orthopedic surgeon’s office during her time at the University of Alberta. Frustrated by some referrals, the surgeon felt that many of his patients would be better served by a chiropractor. “It was the first time I’d ever heard of one!”

Growing up in small-town northern British Columbia, chiropractic was a new idea for Dr. Sidhu. Many of her courses at the university were physics, anatomy, psychology, pharmacology, and biology. The professor of one such course happened to be a chiropractor who taught biomechanics. A conversation with this professor led Dr. Sidhu to realize that chiropractic would be the perfect career. The combination of learning movement mechanics and the correlation to the human body and its function was very intriguing to Dr. Sidhu. She had no idea how going into the career of Chiropractic was going to lead her to her life purpose of helping people heal their bodies.

After completing her bachelor’s degree at the University of Alberta in 2008, Dr. Sidhu decided to further pursue a career in Chiropractic. She attended Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College and graduated as a Doctor of Chiropractic. Her Chiroptactic career started with passion for treating athletes, body builders, and all things sports! She quickly fell in love with facilitating healthy aging, prenancy, scoliosis, jaw pain, headaches, migraines, chronic pain, postural correction, fibromyalgia, ankle and foot issues….and the list goes on. Dr. Sidhu was passionate about solving problems and strives to get to the root of the problem.

A few years into practice she realized some patients kept returning back with the same issues. She started noticing correlations between mental state and physical body and how anxiety, depression, grief and stress had an impact on the physical body and its presentation. Although she has had huge success with acute pain and is able to help patients maintain optimal musculo-skeletal health, she started craving a more in debt understanding of why there is muscle memory, chronic pain, chronic motor patterns, stress patterns, and nervous system related dysfunctions. Her journey to get to the root cause led her to taking further education in understanding the nervous system more in debth. Dr. Sidhu began to understand other modalities and treatment approaches like cranial sacral therapy, acupuncture, network chiropractic, somatic bodywork, etc that focus on regulating the nervous system. Having an open mind allowed Dr. Sidhu to explore the science of how these modalities have the potential to help heal. It became clear to her that it was about facilitating the body to heal through our nervous system. Now we are getting to the root!

It’s important to Dr. Sidhu that she stay updated on the latest health research and developments. Although she understands in debth the interconnectedness of our bodies, she believes that we are just scratching the surface with research. She believes in the bodies innate ability to heal itself and is a passionate advocate of facilitating the bodies healing capabilities. She takes regular continuing education courses and loves to combine traditional chiropractic methods and other holistic modalities to reach optimal results. The training Dr. Sidhu has undertaken include certifications in Diversified Chiropractic, Thompson Technique, FAKTR rehab systems (Functional and Kinetic Treatment with Rehabiliation), Active Release Therapy®, Graston Technique, and most recently, Spinal Flow Technique®
