Chiropractic Care
Chronic Pain and Everyday Comfort
If pain, stiffness, or poor posture are holding you back, you deserve care that considers more than just where it hurts. At Lakeside Align Chiropractic, Dr. Keegan Johnston and Dr. Michelle Poirier provide posture-focused chiropractic care centred on spinal alignment and postural awareness, with the goal of improving comfort and movement. Expect a warm, people-first visit and a clear plan to support how you feel now and over time.
Our overall goal is to optimize how the body is healing and functioning. We diagnose and treat the dysfunction associated with chronic pain and discomfort by performing precise, specific adjustments and reinforcing the body’s innate ability to heal. We want to guide and empower patients to reclaim their health and wellness, providing sustainable healing results, including mobility, wellness and connection.
A Science-Informed Approach for All Ages
Chiropractic care aims to gently improve movement in the spine and related joints; it is different from physiotherapy, which is more muscle-focused. Dr. Keegan and Dr. Michelle use Chiropractic BioPhysics® (CBP®), a research-informed method that takes posture and spinal curvatures into account when planning individualized chiropractic care. Results are not guaranteed and differ from person to person as they depend on severity and chronicity. Your first visit includes a thorough history and physical examination, and when clinically appropriate, imaging may be recommended.
Adjusting Techniques Tailored for You
As a subluxation-based practice, our techniques include hands-on Diversified and Gonstead adjustments for precise joint motion, instrument-assisted Activator Methods®, Impulse® adjusting, and drop table approaches for low-force, comfortable care. This ensures every body is supported, including pregnancy and post-surgical spines.
The range of techniques we are qualified and trained in allows for diversity to treat different conditions and ailments. We are constantly evolving at-home exercises to enable patients to see faster results through their health and wellness journey.
Our team is also trained in a variety of methods, including Toggle, NUCCA®, and Webster.
Reasons People May Seek Chiropractic Care
Many people seek chiropractic care when they experience concerns such as:
- Chronic neck and back pain
- Headaches and migraines
- Sciatica and nerve-related leg pain
- Postural changes, tech neck, and rounded shoulders
- Pregnancy-related back or pelvic discomfort
- Pediatric concerns such as colic, feeding issues, and sleep

A Phased Plan for Ongoing Support
Many new patients start with more frequent care while they are in acute pain, learning supportive home care, such as traction and targeted exercises, based on their needs and goals. MyoVision scans and follow-up assessments are used to review how you are progressing. As your care plan progresses, we can incorporate postural exercises and movement-based approaches tailored to your needs. Once you’re comfortable with your care rhythm, you may choose ongoing wellness visits to support your daily activities and overall well-being.
When helpful, we may add Kinesio Taping, selective spinal decompression, or custom orthotics, and our team can guide ICBC, WCB, and Veterans Affairs claims.
