Our Team
Stuart Brimmell chiropractor
Dr. Stuart Brimmell, D.C.
What I do:
I have been a chiropractor for 35+ years. I have committed that time serving patients. I practice gentle hands-on spinal adjusting and personally provide adjunctive soft tissue services (trigger point therapy, thumper massage and ultrasound), custom foot orthotics, supplementation recommendations and lifestyle advice. I strive to take the necessary time with my patients and I am open to their needs.

What I like:
When I am not providing chiropractic care, I enjoy relaxing, spend time outside, camp, hunt, fish, run and I enjoy just about all sports. I’ve completed and have my personal best marathon time in the Boston Marathon. I’m a good homemaker too!

Where you’ll find me:
I'm not in the clinic, you will find me outside somewhere or on my couch :).
Crystal Russak chiropractor
Dr. Crystal Russak, H.B.K., M.H.S., D.C.
What I do:
I have always been passionate about a holistic approach when taking care of the body. I believe that in order for us to thrive we must have the perfect balance of clean nutrition, proper biomechanics, and a thriving environment. I like to keep up-to-date on the newest research on how to maintain this balance and never stop learning. I look at the body as a whole and work with my patients to connect all of the parts through nutrition (and supplementation), diversified adjustments and chiropractic care, and lifestyle modifications.

I have an honours bachelor of Kinesiology from Lakehead University and master of health sciences in clinical nutrition and doctorate of chiropractic from Northwester Health Sciences University. I have been a licensed chiropractor since 2018.

What I like:
Love travelling, the water, hiking, and taco night with margaritas :).

Where you’ll find me:
If I’m not at the clinic I am probably planning a trip or on one! I may also be out at camp with friends and family...trying to convince them where we should travel to next.
Darren Todd - Registered Massage Therapist
What I do:
I am a registered massage therapist in Thunder Bay with over a decade of experience. Since 2011 I’ve specialized in Swedish massage and myofascial treatment, offering a holistic approach to wellness. Treatment effectively addresses a range of issues, including sports injuries by employing techniques that promote relaxation, enhance circulation and alleviate tension in the muscles and fascia. With a deep understanding of the body’s mechanics and the impact of physical activity, each session is tailored to meet the individual’s needs, to help them recover from injuries and improve their overall physical performance. My commitment is to foster healing for those seeking relief and recovery.
