Dr. Leon Paschalidis D.C.,
Webster Certified
Registered with The College of Chiropractors of Ontario
Dr. Leon graduated from Life University in Atlanta, Georgia in 2008. Prior to studying at Chiropractic School, he attended York University in Toronto, Canada. Since he began practicing chiropractic, Dr. Leon has kept up to date on many continuing educational classes, ensuring that his patients receive the most comprehensive and advanced chiropractic care. Dr. Leon is an expert in various chiropractic techniques to perform adjustments to the spine and various joints of the body. He was president of the Thompson Technique Club (a chiropractic adjusting technique) for 2 years at Life University and as such has advanced training in this particular technique. He then moved back to his home town of Toronto to open 'Thornhill Family Chiropractic' with his high
school friend Dr. Dennis Stathopulos in 2009.
Having a passion for his community, Dr. Leon has helped people who were suffering with symptoms such as low back pain, neck pain, sciatica, headaches, migraines, shoulder pain, spinal stenosis, disc herniations, numbness and tingling to name just a few.
Dr. Leon is currently a member of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association and is certified to perform the Webster Technique. The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment to the sacrum (bone at the base of the spine) in all weight bearing people especially pregnant women that reduces interference to the nervous system and balances pelvic muscles and ligaments. This in turn improves neuro-biomechanical function in the sacral/pelvic region. Sacral subluxation may contribute to difficult labour for the mother (i.e. dystocia). Dystocia is caused by inadequate uterine function, pelvic contraction and baby malpresentation. The correction of sacral subluxation may positively effect all these causes of dystocia. Dr. Leon recommends all pregnant women be evaluated throughout their pregnancy as their bodies are constantly changing day-by-day.
Dr. Leon has experience in treating the general population, including pregnant women, and treating children of all ages. He welcomes everyone and their families to drop by the office for a tour and for general information.
"Thank you for taking the time to visit our website. I know you are probably searching for answers, and I have made it a personal goal to give my absolute best to every single person who visits our clinic. I know that the hardest part of anything new is the beginning. I always tell people that you have nothing to lose, but everything to gain, by just taking some time to speak with me and be evaluated. It is one thing to get someone out of pain and change their lives, but it is another to do it without the use of medication. You will find me constantly telling patients that pain is not the problem, but merely the response, and that we need to find the root cause of WHY the pain is occurring. The only way to know if we can help is to call and book your appointment today. I look forward to seeing you soon!" - Dr. Leon

Active Release
Technique
Active Release Technique uses careful manipulation and movement in the diagnosis and treatment of soft tissues including muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves and fascia.
​
It is a non-invasive manual therapy technique that works to correct soft tissue restrictions that cause pain and mobility issues. The goal is to break down scar tissue and adhesions in order to optimize function in the body
Orthotics
Custom orthotics ​are a device designed to align the foot and ankle into the most anatomically efficient position. They are like insoles that are custom made to correct your specific foot imbalance. They treat foot problems such as plantar fasciitis, tendinitis, and metatarsalgia and help alleviate foot, ankle and knee pain.
​
We offer custom orthotic casting.
Pediatric and Prenatal Care
Dr. Leon recognizes that pregnancy and childbirth can be a very challenging time bringing with it new aches and pains. That is why he is dedicated to providing chiropractic care for mothers pre & post-pregnancy.
​
Dr. Leon has extensive experience and training in Chiropractic Prenatal and Pediatric practice. This includes the Breach Turning Technique developed by Dr. Larry Webster, D.C. The technique addresses the biomechanical problems of the mother to allow the baby to establish a better in-utero position.
Koren Specific Technique (KST)
With this technique there is no twisting, cracking or popping. Instead, gentle, specific and powerful corrections are applied to the spine and structural system.
​
The technique corrects a form of nerve and mind/body stress which is caused by distortions to your spine and structural system known as a subluxation. These subluxations can cause various issues such as loss of energy, weakness, pain and change in organ function.
​
KST allows for a quick, easy and gentle correction of these subluxations, wherever they may arise.
Thompson Terminal Point Technique (TTPT)
The Thompson Terminal Point Technique, also known as Thompson Drop-Table Technique, is a chiropractic technique that uses a precision adjusting table along with a weighing mechanism which gives sufficient tension to keep the patient in the "up" position before the thrust or pressure is applied. The table aids in the thrust while minimizing the pressure that may otherwise be required for the adjustment. The technique also involves a leg length analysis to determine imbalances.
​
This adjustment technique helps in restoring normal nerve function, thus bringing relief from pain and possible benefits such as improving sleep, reducing stress and increasing the capacity of the body to function at its maximum
