Chrystopher M. Sly D.C.

As a young child I was diagnosed with bronchial asthma, a condition that prevented me from participating in sports and other activities involving physical exertion. Allergies/allergens also set off my asthmatic symptoms which included extreme tightening of the lungs, inability to breathe (it seemed like I was drowning) and the result was an overall lack of physical fitness. The asthma caused many trips to the local hospital at all hours of the day and night. The use of an asthma inhaler was the only thing that could stop the avalanche of pressure that would build on my chest during an attack, and the specialists could only offer the reassurance that I would probably “grow out of it”. By coincidence (and for an unrelated reason) I had my spine checked by a Chiropractor.

The Chiropractor did a thorough exam and began adjusting my spine. After a series of adjustments my body began to feel different and my asthmatic attacks were gone. Unsure about the lasting effects of what was happening in my body, I kept the inhaler in my pocket unused for 6 months until it finally expired and was thrown away. My life had changed dramatically. I became active in many sports including cross-country running (reaching the Western Ontario (WOSSA) finals), and was able to develop into the person asthma had prevented me from becoming. My Chiropractor gave me my life back and in the process inspired me to do the same thing for others, so I went to Chiropractic College myself.

I am a graduate of C.C.H. London High School where I was presented with the Ontario Scholar award. After High School I attended the University Of Western Ontario where I received my Bachelors of Science Degree (Biology - Human Physiology). I then moved to Dallas, Texas where I attended Parker College of Chiropractic. I graduated with Honours (Cum Laude), and was awarded Parker's Scholastic Achievement certificate. I completed my internship in Dallas and moved back to Etobicoke, Ontario to be with my family, friends and my then girlfriend (now wife) Hanna.

Hanna and I live in Mississauga and are blessed with two active boys: Ethan and Daniel (both future Chiropractors).

Beyond serving my patients each day I am also a certified pediatric Chiropractor (through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association - ICPA), a seminar presenter for Baby & Me Fitness classes, a founding member of the Humber Bay Toastmasters Club, a lecturer for the “Doctors Speakers Bureau” (dedicating many hours each year lecturing to businesses, organizations and community groups), and regularly organize charitable events for the Daily Bread Food Bank and the Children's Wish Foundation.

I hope you enjoy the website. I would love to hear your feedback.

Yours in Health,

I am thrilled to be a member of this wellness clinic. I feel very fortunate to be practicing in such a caring and attentive atmosphere alongside Dr Sly.

I’m sure you’re wondering who I am and how I arrived here, so here’s a little about me:

I studied at Queen’s University in Kingston, graduating from the Physical and Health Education program. This was where I was first introduced to Massage Therapy. I was intrigued! Angie, was kind enough to explain to me what it was all about and how she became an RMT. Well… I was hooked, and immediately after graduating from Queen’s signed up with Kikkawa College in Toronto. I knew very quickly in my first year, that I’d found my life’s passion and graduated with honours in 1988.

I’ve never looked back and have been passionate about my work ever since. It’s been a fantastic journey, these16 years in my career.  I love being able to help people live life in the very best way that they can. I love knowing that I’m making a difference in your quality of living. I love seeing the positive changes in you, that arise from receiving massage therapy. For me, this is one of the most fulfilling careers one can have.

I’ve had numerous successes in treating many concerns. Some examples include headaches, insomnia, digestive complaints, migraines, neck & back ache, sciatica and scoliosis, plantar fasciitis, repetitive strain syndrome, carpal tunnel. As well, I’ve developed great experience to help clients manage stress.
