Joan Fay Ganaba-Bhargav is friendly and caring, and has been helping people through her career in health care for over 3 years.

Joan earned her Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy (Pharmacist) in the Philippines. She enjoyed a rewarding medical career, and appreciates the power of medicine and its role in illness.

Certain health conditions can be poorly managed when reliance on medication is the primary treatment driver.  

In the case of joint pain and inflammation, and repetitive stress injuries, patients can be better served through joint manipulation, correction of imbalance, and increasing the range of motion and movement in affected areas to reduce pain and increase quality of life.  

This desire to better serve people with chronic joint pain is what lead Joan to further her education in Canada and receive her diploma as an Osteopathic Manual Practitioner. Joan is an active manual practitioner, while simultaneously pursuing her Doctor of Osteopathy, which she received in 2019.

In addition to the osteopathic manipulative therapy Joan offers, she is also a certified Shockwave Therapist.  This medical treatment uses sound waves to target damaged tissues and stimulate blood flow to the area to introduce nutrients, induce tissue healing, reduce inflammation and pain, and allow patients to regain range of motion.  

Joan finds patients with arthritis and other painful joint conditions find drastic results in as little as 4-8 sessions of combined therapy.
