Optimum Health Centre

Optimum Health Centre’s staff of chiropractors, licensed shiatsu therapists, herbalists, and natural healers blends tenets of Eastern and Western medicine in holistic treatments designed to soothe the body and mind. Dr. Nimet Meghji, a former president of the Ontario chapter of the Acupuncture Foundation of Canada Institute, eases the kinks out of spines and keeps vestigial tails wagging happily with gentle chiropractic and acupuncture treatments. Not to be outdone, the centre’s shiatsu therapist targets chronic aches with fingers, knuckles, and thumbs during relaxing shiatsu massages. To keep aches away for good, they analyze feet with computerized pressure-plate technology that helps determine the potential sources of pains experienced elsewhere in the body.
