Innovative Heath Care for Your Needs

Our experienced team of chiropractors and massage therapists are knowledgeable in spinal pain. The purpose of spinal adjustments is to return the spine to a natural state of health and to reduce pain, muscle spasms, and nerve irritation, so you can enjoy your life pain free. We use the most comfortable methods of treatment including computer assisted manipulation, avoiding any twisting and cracking.

Our team understand the stress and pain patients are in following personal injury accidents. We analyze, diagnose, and create an individualized treatment plan for whiplash and soft tissue injuries. We will thoroughly explain your treatment and update your insurance agency on your behalf. 

Most work injuries are caused by overuse and repetitive stress injuries. Overtime, small tasks done with poor posture can lead to acute and chronic pain, which can result in reduced worker productivity, lost time from work, disability, and an inability to perform job tasks. We work directly with the WSIB to get your claim approved allowing you to return to work as soon as possible, feeling better!

Our Services

A chiropractic adjustment is a non-invasive procedure that is intended to restore motion to a restricted joint. When joints are restricted and/or painful, muscles can as well become tight and sore.

With PulStar™ Dr. Scales and Dr. Macoretta can scan your spine to find the exact source of your pain. Then, he can use the system’s gentle multiple impulse therapy tool for a long-lasting solution that leaves you pain-free in a fraction of the time.

ProAdjuster SP is designed by chiropractors for chiropractors, this system enables our chiropractors to provide computer-assisted, safe, accurate and reliable chiropractic care to our patients.

Mechanical Motion Therapy can have a powerful, pain relieving effect on the tissues containing the specialized pain receptors, even in instances where it has been present for years.

Massage Therapy can be used to treat both acute and chronic conditions, as well as aiding in preventative care, including injury prevention, ongoing stress management and more!
Non-surgical Spinal Decompression is an effective treatment for: Low Back/Neck Pain, Herniated or bulging discs, Degenerative disc disease, Facet Syndromes, Sciatica, Failed Spinal Surgery, Spinal Stenosis

Shockwave Therapy is an extremely safe and effective form of treatment that produces a significant reduction in pain,and increases in your range of motion with improved mobility. The new Zimmer “Soft Shot” technology that we use, produces very comfortable treatment with quick results.

Laser Therapy is particularly effective when it is administered as soon as possible following injury. The faster the inflammation is reduced and the healing process can begin, the better.

Thanx so much for putting me at such ease during the COVID 19 PANDEMIC. After a week of agony from a slip and fall, I... found out the hard way that Dr. Scales does indeed provide an essential service! I thought all my problems were solved with the last visit....he left me with an amazing range of motion and flexibility in my shoulder which did endure, as usual. But I can be a clumsy sort and Dr. Scales and his crackerjack team of pain solving associates have put Humpty back together a few times. Special thanx to Dr. Brendan Macoretta and Alana Goertzen (Kinesiology and Massage Therapist). Thank you all for helping to free me from the painkiller, Lyrica. Medicine and Big Pharma do have their place, but for the long haul, it's about diet, exercise and getting in with a great chiropractor. Once I came for an adjustment, and there was a spry couple all jovial on their way out; they stopped to talk to a familiar face beside me and, when I realized they were both in their nineties, I knew that Lakeshore Chiropractic Group would be my last stop for pain management. I'm very glad to have found Dr Scales and his practice.read more

I met Dr. Brendan while visiting my daughter in St. Catharines. She noticed I was walking a bit crooked with some... obvious pain and discomfort. She called his office and a visit was quickly arranged. He diagnosed my issue very quickly and corrected the problem in just two visits. What an incredible, knowledgeable, personal and informative doctor. Need a chiropractor to assess and adjust a problem? His laser and stretch table are unique - he uses them to correct problems. Dr. Brendan can fix you quickly as he did for me. He is beyond a doubt the best! Wayne Newell - Halifax via Honduras.read more

From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is friendly and engaging. I came in to see Dr Scales... with painful... sciatica.He was so friendly extremely knowledgeable listened to me... patiently while I described in detail my pain LOL something I'm sure he must get tired of hearing, but he certainly did not show that!I am continuing treatment and what I love best is the treatments are so non-invasive. They use so many techniques that really are what you expect in Physiotherapy. This is something that was very important to me.He has used cold laser a spinal decompression machine a stretch therapy machine.... plus thoughtful and gentle manipulationI am delighted to have found this chiropractic office..Keep up the good work!read more
