If you've been dealing with a health concern for a while, you deserve clear answers, a thorough assessment, and care that respects both your comfort and your goals. At SpineWerX, people often tell us they feel heard, understood, and well informed from the moment they walk in. Every person begins with a detailed evaluation and a clear explanation of what we find. If you prefer to talk first, a complimentary consultation is available so you can ask questions before booking a full assessment.
NEW PATIENTS
Many individuals visit our clinic after trying other approaches without the clarity or progress they hoped for. Working with Lindsay chiropractor Dr. Philip Croutch means your first visit includes a structured, unrushed assessment and recommendations based entirely on what we learn during your appointment. Our care plans are flexible and always aligned with your comfort level.
We use a blend of gentle hands-on chiropractic methods and modern clinical techniques that can be adapted for seniors, people with arthritis, or those who prefer low force options.
Dr. Croutch has cared for the Lindsay community since 1984. His interest in posture, spinal mechanics, and how it affects common spine, joint and nerve degenerative problems, evolved from years of seeing people return with recurring concerns. This inspired ongoing study in structural rehabilitation and long-term spinal health. Patients value his clear explanations, calm confidence, and thoughtful approach to each case.
MEET THE DOCTOR
If you are dealing with long-standing back concerns, nerve-related discomfort, or limited mobility, or if you simply want a second opinion, a phone consultation allows you to explore whether a full assessment is right for you. You will always receive honest, practical information so you can make a confident choice.
Below are some of the assessments and therapies commonly recommended when appropriate for your needs.
Gentle manual spine and joint care is the core of our care. Instrument-assisted methods can supplement care and assist as needed, and are tailored to your comfort. We have incorporated multiple techniques to maximize approach options for your care.
General nutritional counselling in support of muskulo-skeletal health, pain and inflammation control is often advised. A doctor supervised Chirothin weight loss plan is offered if quick and safe weight loss is desired.
Low frequency acoustic treatment used for certain tendon and joint repair issues.
A complementary, evidence-informed option available when it aligns with your plan.
Digital posture photography and X-rays when clinically indicated.
Supportive care for pain and inflammation control such as therapeutic ultrasound and interferential current may be used if appropriate.
Guided strategies that support balance, mobility, and long term spinal function are always part of the discussion.
A manually controlled decompression table for selected disc and mobility concerns.
Dr. Croutch can perform a full scoliosis evaluation that includes digital X rays, detailed measurements, photographs, and 3D laser scans. This allows us to determine what services are most appropriate and whether the use of a ScoliBrace would be helpful.
Our special protocols combine movement-based work, mobility-focused care, and customized coaching to help improve strength, posture, and everyday function.
