Dr. Cindy Toner is a chiropractor and co-founder (along with her husband Dr. Jason Plotsky) of Nova Spinal Care. After completing a Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology at Dalhousie University in 1997, Dr. Toner attended the founding school of the profession, Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa and graduated in June 2002.
Currently, she is an active member of the Nova Scotia College of Chiropractors, the NUCCA organization, and the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA).
Dr. Toner has travlled to numerous chiropractic conferences throughout the United States and Canada including San Francisco, Atlanta, Chicago, Calgary, Montreal and Toronto. These seminars have allowed her to learn the most gentle and efective ways to correct spinal imbalances and optimize the function of the nervous system. She primarily uses the techniques called NUCCA, Torque Release, and BEST (bio-energetic synchronization technique). These techniques enable her to effectively work with a wide range of individuals from newborn babies to the oldest patient at the clinic who is currently 94 years of age.
She attended a seminar in Montreal dealing specifically with gentle methods of adjusting pregnant mothers and babies and obtained certification in the Webster Technique.
One of her passions resides in taking care of families. Being a mother of 2 boys (David, 3 and Alex, 1) who have been adjusted regularly since birth, she experiences in her own home the benefits of chiropractic from a young age. Both children were born at home (intentionally) with the assistance of a midwife. The boys have never needed to meet their medical doctor. In fact, aside from some "health expressions" along the way to build their immune system, they have never had any ear infections, colic or many of the common health challenges experienced by many other kids their age. The right combination of making sure their spines and nervous systems are functioning optimally along with the right nutrition have done wonders for the family's health.
