Your care begins with understanding your concerns and the activities you want to return to. Dr. Joshua considers your condition alongside your lifestyle and activity level, so your plan reflects the demands of your day rather than a standard treatment sequence.

Dr. Joshua earned his Honours Bachelor of Kinesiology from Wilfrid Laurier University in 2022, with a minor in biology and a specialization in Athletic Performance and Injury Management.

Your sporting goals, spinal health, and concussion recovery each deserve individual attention.

Alongside general chiropractic care, Dr. Joshua brings particular focus to three areas that can interrupt your ability to stay active: athletic injuries, spinal conditions, and concussion recovery.

If you are missing practices, cutting workouts short, or worrying about another setback, you want care that recognizes the demands of your activity. Dr. Joshua’s academic specialization in athletic performance and injury management is reinforced by his experience with the New Hamburg Firebirds Junior C hockey team, where he served as assistant captain and assistant athletic trainer. He brings that combined movement-science and team-sport perspective to your rehabilitation goals. Whether you hope to return to hockey, enjoy a round of golf, or rebuild confidence in the gym, the focus is on matching care to the way you want to move.

Depending on your assessment, treatment may draw on spinal manipulation, soft-tissue therapy, acupuncture, and exercise. Your goals give that care a practical direction: turning more comfortably, managing the demands of your workday, or lifting with greater confidence.

Concussion rehabilitation is another of Dr. Joshua’s areas of focus. When you are working toward a return to everyday activity or sport after a concussion, your broader recovery needs matter. Within CARESPACE’s coordinated model, you can discuss how chiropractic support may fit alongside other appropriate healthcare. The emphasis remains on care that reflects your individual circumstances, rather than a promised recovery date or a one-size-fits-all plan.
