Who is Dr. Gidda?
Dr. Gidda started his journey into the world of health care when he was accepted into York University where he studied Kinesiology and Health Science.
After the 4th year of his undergraduate studies, it was clear to him that Chiropractic medicine was his true calling.
Trusting his instincts, he applied to the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College. He started his Chiropractic education at CMCC and completed it at D’Youville College.
He holds a post-graduate certificate in Medical Acupuncture from McMaster University as well as certifications in Graston Technique and Spidertech kinesio/athletic taping.
Dr. Gidda has extensive experience working and training in a multitude of clinical and hospital settings.
He brings a proven commitment to high quality health care, excellent treatment skills and a desire to continually improve both the quality of life of his patients and his own skills as a Chiropractor.
His mission is to help individuals of all ages reach their health potential with an emphasis on well-being and proactive intervention.
He strives to do so by restoring spinal integrity using evidence based practice while viewing the patient as a whole as opposed to just a product of his/her presenting symptoms.
Treatment Philosophy
“Helping patients live a pain-free life through a biomechanical and functionally restorative approach.”
Dr. Gidda takes a unique approach in that his treatment philosophy is tailored to your individual need which maximizes your physical potential to relieve your body of pain and improper biomechanics.
We do not take a cookie cutter approach to your healthcare because no two individuals are exactly alike.
We will work with you to determine the root cause of your pain then use the most appropriate and clinically indicated treatments to help you achieve optimal results.
You will be educated about the nature of your injury including all relevant anatomy so that you actually understand what is happening and how his treatment protocol will address the problem.
You will also learn specific exercises to control your body properly to prevent recurrence.
Although we love to see our patients, our goal is to get you independent and out of our clinic as soon as possible.
We understand that there will be flare-ups from time to time which is why we leave it open for you to come back and see us if a problem should arise.
Wellness and preventative care is offered on an as needed basis as a proactive measure to prevent future problems and minimize the chance of recurrence.

Orthotics
A custom orthotic is a device used to align the foot and ankle into the most anatomically efficient position. They are biomechanical medical appliances that are custom made to correct your specific foot imbalance. Custom orthotics work on your feet much like glasses work on your eyes – they reduce stress and strain on your body by brining your feet back into proper alignment.
Compression Garments
Medical gradient compression hosiery promotes better venous flow which helps to control swelling, varicosities, leg fatigue and other problematic leg conditions. Dr. Gidda will perform a thorough examination and assessment to prescribe a specific product to if he feels you are a candidate for this product.
Athletic Conditioning
Muscles, tendons and ligaments depend on biomechanically correct joint movement for proper function. Spinal and peripheral joint injuries can restrict range of motion, reduce strength, slow reflexes, shorten endurance, and decrease performance. Dr. Gidda provides treatment to normalize joint function which helps to speed healing of the associated soft tissues. Pain management and alleviation is a positive side effect of reducing inflammation through chiropractic care. Dr. Gidda helps restore your health, improve your performance and increase your competitive edge.
WSIB & Motor Accidents
Dr. Gidda accepts patients with auto and work related injuries. These injuries occur commonly in the low back and neck and are caused by slips and falls, bending and lifting improperly, and through the extreme forces sustained in motor vehicle accidents. As a result of injury, the normal position of bone and joints is altered and flexibility is decreased or lost. Treatment is designed to restore normal functioning of the musculoskeletal system and as such, pain and suffering are minimized.
Work Hardening
Work hardening is a rehabilitation program designed to restore functional and work capacities to the injured worker through application of graded work simulation. Included are activities designed to improve overall physical condition, including strength, endurance, and coordination specific to work activity, as well as means for coping with any remaining symptoms from the original problem, such as pain. Central to all work hardening programs is the reproduction of a work-like environment where tasks are designed to improve the patient's tolerance for productive work.
Active Release Technique
ART is most commonly used to treat conditions related to adhesions or scar tissue in overused muscles. According to ART practitioners, as adhesions build up, muscles become shorter and weaker, the motion of muscles and joints are altered, and nerves can be compressed. As a result, tissues suffer from decreased blood supply, pain, and poor mobility.
