Avitern Health Center, Markham

By combining many holistic therapies and traditional Chinese medicine with Western treatments, Avitern Health Center's team is able to treat a range of conditions by focusing on the whole person rather than just their symptoms. Their alternative medicine services treat a variety of health issues, such as pain, digestive troubles, work- or sports-related injuries, and more. Their massage therapists Fanny and Grace—who both have backgrounds as Chinese medicine doctors—rely on their decades of experience to treat such issues as pain and insomnia. Physical therapist Justin, meanwhile, uses tissue manipulation, taping, and therapeutic exercises to help bodies heal from injuries. And Avitern's Mandarin- and English-speaking chiropractor performs adjustments to realign spines and alleviate back pain.
