Key Takeaway

Dr. Alexis provides chiropractic care with a strong focus on movement, rehabilitation, and long-term independence. Her approach is not limited to back or neck pain.

Who Is Dr. Alexis?

Dr. Alexis is a Doctor of Chiropractic practicing at Priority One Osteo & Wellness, a multidisciplinary wellness clinic in Burlington, Ontario. She began practicing in Ontario in 2025 after building more than 10 years of clinical experience, including more than seven years working in Georgia and North Carolina.

Her path into chiropractic care is closely connected to athletics. Dr. Alexis grew up in Dundas, Ontario, started playing hockey at age five, and moved into high-level women’s hockey by age 13. She later attended Chatham University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where she earned her undergraduate degree, played Division III hockey on an ice hockey scholarship, and served as team captain for all four years.

This athletic background gives Dr. Alexis a practical understanding of how injuries, pain, and movement limitations can affect performance, training, and daily life. She understands that many patients are not only looking for short-term relief. They want to return to sport, exercise, work, family activities, and everyday movement with greater confidence.

A Rehabilitation-Focused Chiropractic Approach

At Priority One Osteo & Wellness, Dr. Alexis provides chiropractic care for patients who want an active and goal-focused treatment experience. Her care may support people dealing with sports injuries, shoulder concerns, muscle tension, joint discomfort, recurring aches, extremity issues, or movement restrictions.

A key part of her philosophy is that pain should be viewed in context. For example, knee pain may be related to the hip, ankle, foot, or overall movement mechanics. Shoulder discomfort may be influenced by posture, thoracic mobility, strength imbalances, or repetitive sports movements.

By evaluating the body as an interconnected system, Dr. Alexis can create treatment plans that look beyond the painful area. This makes her approach especially useful for young athletes, recreational athletes, active adults, and patients who want to prevent recurring injuries.

What Patients Can Expect During a Visit

A visit with Dr. Alexis usually starts with an initial assessment and movement screen. This helps identify how the patient moves, where restrictions may be present, and what factors may be contributing to discomfort.

Depending on the patient’s needs, care may include:

• Soft tissue therapy
• Active Release Technique
• Graston or IASTM
• Cupping
• Cold laser therapy
• Corrective exercises
• Strength programming
• Return-to-sport programming
• Manual adjustments when appropriate

Dr. Alexis uses manual adjustments when they fit the patient’s condition and comfort level. Her care is collaborative, meaning patients are part of the process and understand why each technique or exercise is being recommended.

Why Her Athletic Background Matters

Because Dr. Alexis played competitive and collegiate hockey, she understands the mindset of active patients. She knows how frustrating it can be to feel limited by pain or injury, especially when someone wants to keep training, competing, or staying active.

This experience helps Dr. Alexis connect chiropractic care with real movement goals. For an athlete, that may mean a return-to-sport plan. For a gym-goer, it may mean strength programming or exercise modifications. For an active adult, it may mean learning how to move better during daily routines.

Her approach is practical, education-focused, and designed to help patients become more independent over time.
