Services
Chiropractic Chiropractic offers a non-invasive, drug-free approach to healing.Chiropractic is a primary healthcare profession in the Pickering, Ontario area. Chiropractic doctors use non-invasive, hands-on techniques to diagnose, treat and prevent disorders related to the spine, pelvis, nervous system and joints (musculoskeletal system).
Massage Therapy Massage therapy is a regulated health profession in Pickering, Ontario. It is a highly effective, hands-on manipulation of soft tissues, including muscles, connective tissues, tendons, ligaments and joints. Massage therapy is more than just about relaxation. Not only has it been shown to help alleviate discomfort associated with everyday and occupational stresses/muscular overuse, but it can also help treat many chronic pain conditions and help in injury recovery and rehabilitation.
Acupuncture According to ancient Chinese theories, the body is a network of interacting energies. The even distribution and smooth flow of these energies will maintain health. Any interruption, depletion or stagnation in these energies will lead to disease. The goal of acupuncture is to correct imbalances in the flow and restore health through stimulation.
Chiropractic Adjustment During a chiropractic adjustment, your chiropractor will apply controlled force to the affected area, typically pushing it beyond its normal range of motion. This process doesn’t hurt, and it can help you enhance your joint function following your appointment. Although you may feel slightly sore for a few days afterward, you will likely notice improved functionality and flexibility in the days to come.
Chiropractic Care At Active Integrative Medicine, we provide chiropractic care at our wellness clinic in the Pickering, Ontario area. We are known for our patient-focused care and the way we always do what’s best for those who come and see us for chiropractic and other services. Your first appointment with us will start with a comprehensive consultation, during which we’ll get to know you better and learn more about your current health concerns.
Orthotics Custom orthotics ensure you get the right fit that is unique to you and your needs. Custom-made orthotics can be prescribed here at Active Integrative Medicine by our chiropractic doctors and manufactured at an affiliate laboratory.

I rarely take time to leave Google Reviews but, I wanted to ensure that I wrote out how thankful I am for Dr. Nimal's help at Active Integrative Medicine (AIM). I've played basketball my entire life and have never suffered an injury like I had 3 months ago. My right arm experienced a bit of nerve damage which negatively impacted both my personal & work life terribly.

After an evening in an ER, doctors appointments, x-rays/ultrasounds and a ton of prescribed painkillers - the issue was essentially left to me to find a specialist and begin the journey to full recovery. I met Dr. Nimal and she was extremely down to Earth; patient, both a great listener and conversationalist. She truly wanted to find the best solution towards remedying the crippling pain and for the first time in a long time (after having had numerous chiropractor experiences in the past) I felt cared for like a person, rather than simply another client in a long work day's agenda.

I've seen Dr. Nimal at minimum once per week, sometimes twice per week, for the past 3 months and I am so glad to be getting my life back on track as the summer is now finally beginning. She is such a thorough Chiropractor, and between that specific type of therapy, the Acupuncture that she provides as well, and what she has instructed me to complete at home in regards to personal exercises - they have truly made more of a difference than any painkiller could have benefited my scenario.

I'm truly thankful for my appointments and interactions with Dr. Nimal. I've lived in Durham Region for the past 10 years and I certainly believe that she is one of the greatest doctors here in our area. Thank you, Dr. Nimal, and to the team at Active Integrative Medicine.

Dr. Nimal is talented, patient and kind. She has excellent communication skills which helped me in understanding my pain, how to manage it and techniques to assist with healing. At no time did she get distracted, leave the room, or make me feel rushed. Her sole focus was on me and my health care needs. Dr Nimal not only focussed on methods to lessen my symptoms, but she placed a lot of emphasis on getting to the root cause of my pain issue. I highly recommend Dr. Nimal. She is truly wonderful.

Dr. Diane Peters provided a good explanation of my symptoms and asked pertinent questions. The only critique was the problem with the technology (Jane) that didn't allow for video and then cut out mid-call. Otherwise, I would highly recommend!

Jackelyn was very strong and precise in working out my problem areas. She met me at my threshold and with artistic control alowed for a deep tissue massage from which I woke up the next day feeling rejuvenated. "From passion one may devise a mastery. A massage encompassing healing and relaxation. Hence, the gateway to a heightened quality of life."

Dr Ho is such a compassionate, kind professional and always makes me feel at ease. She has been an integral part of my health journey and I know I'm in good hands. All of my encounters with staff at the AIM clinic has been warm and inviting, and especially during the uncertainty of the Covid pandemic they have always made me feel safe and supported.

This wasn't quite the same as an in-person appointment, but I did find it excellent and a great tool for communicating and sharing some of the issues I am dealing with. The screen sharing and ability to have my web-cam in hand also were very useful. Obviously this is also very convenient and safe!

Dr Lester is an excellent choice for chiropractic care. In my many years of care from various chiropractors, he is one of the best. I always leave feeling better, and I go longer between treatments now. He is very gentle and thorough too.

Chiropractic works! Dr. Darrin Germann treated me for a nagging neck and shoulder injury and with only a couple of treatments, and by following his advice and suggestions, I am now pain-free! He's thorough, professional, caring, and very personable! I highly recommend him!
