Dr. Janine Taylor  earned  her undergraduate degree from Queen’s University in Kingston with a Bachelor of Science in Life Science.  Chiropractic appealed to her because it is a drug-free, natural approach to health.  More importantly it offered her an opportunity to help people obtain enhanced health with improved functioning, strengthening, nutrition and injury prevention. She attended the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto.  During her internship she worked at the Muki Baum Children’s Treatment Centre working with physically and mentally challenged young adults.   Upon graduation she was awarded the Presidents award, the HK Lee award, and the Students Council award.

Hello!  I have been working with Dr. Hadden & the healthcare team at Clarington Chiropractic Clinic since 2003.  Before I started working at the clinic, I attended Sir Sandford Fleming College in Peterborough for three years.  During my time in Peterborough I volunteered for two semesters at the Fleming Massage Therapy, and Sports Massage Therapy Clinics.  During my last year of school I worked at the Women’s Native Health Center, called Niijkiwendidaa Anishnaabe Kwewag.  Here I provided massage therapy treatments to women who underwent a great deal of stress, anxiety and depression.  These conditions can lead to many other problems that can be treated with massage.  Volunteering at these clinics gave me the experience and confidence I needed to pursue my career as a RMT. 

 

Here at the Clarington Chiropractic Clinic I offer a variety of soft tissue techniques to treat conditions such as whiplash, arthritis, headaches, sports injuries, sciatic nerve pain, pregnancy massage, and relaxation massage.  Gift certificates are available, and make great presents for friends and family.

 

I look forward to meeting you at the Clinic!
