He began his post-secondary studies at St. Francis Xavier University, earning a Bachelor of Science in Human Kinesiology in 2007. After graduating, he moved to Toronto to pursue a career in Chiropractic.
In 2008, he enrolled at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC), where he quickly developed a deep appreciation for both the science and philosophy of chiropractic care, as well as the hands-on technique of chiropractic adjusting.
During his final year, Dr. Craig pursued a lifelong passion — working with animals. He enrolled in the Animal Chiropractic Certification Program at the Veterinary Chiropractic Learning Centre in Brantford, Ontario. After completing more than 220 hours of additional training, he became a dual Certified Chiropractor and Animal Chiropractor in 2013.
Since then, Dr. Craig has loved helping both people and animals move better and feel better. He continues to be inspired by the progress he sees in his patients, especially those who regain mobility and return to the activities they love.
Outside the clinic, Dr. Craig enjoys spending time with his wife Hayley (Chiropractor and Yoga Teacher), their two daughters, Sunnie and Coco, and their Boston Terrier, Moses.

She began her studies in London at The University of Western Ontario, where she earned an Honours Specialization Degree in Kinesiology in 2009. Dr. Taron then started her chiropractic career at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College and graduated Magna Cum Laude with Clinic Honours in 2014.
In 2022, Dr. Taron graduated from the McMaster University Neurofunctional Acupuncture program. In addition to Neurofunctional Acupuncture, Dr. Taron’s evidence-based treatments include: diversified and drop-piece chiropractic adjustments, joint mobilizations, myofascial release techniques, therapeutic cupping, kinesiology taping, nutritional/lifestyle recommendations, rehabilitative exercise prescription and shockwave therapy.
Dr. Taron has also completed over 220 hours of study in Animal Chiropractic and graduated from the Veterinary Chiropractic Learning Centre in 2014. Since then, she has completed continuing education seminars in Advanced Canine Chiropractic Techniques (2017), Equine/Canine Kinesiology Taping Certification (2017) and Small Animal Neuro-Anatomical Acupuncture training at the Veterinary Chiropractic Learning Centre (2024).
Her extensive equestrian background and experience providing sideline treatments at canine agility trials over the years have given her a keen eye for gait analysis and lameness. She has a special interest in assessing and treating unresolved lameness issues in dogs, helping senior dogs age gracefully and maintain mobility, as well as complex canine neurological cases.
When not treating patients at the office or out adjusting horses through her mobile equine practice (Stillwater Animal Chiropractic), Dr. Taron can be found hiking/running with her Australian Shepherd “Briggs”, riding her horse “Weldon”, or out on the golf course with her husband, Matt.

Dr. Cole grew up in Northwestern Ontario in a small town called Dryden. He went on to attend Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, where he obtained an Honours Bachelor of Kinesiology and an Honours Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. From there, he moved to Toronto, where he obtained his Doctor of Chiropractic from Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College. Dr. Cole has additional training in neurofunctional acupuncture (human only), instrument-assisted soft tissue therapy, and animal chiropractic.
The addition of animal chiropractic has allowed Dr. Cole to extend his services to the furrier members of the family. He has been a dog owner his entire life, so it was a natural progression in his career to enter the world of animal care. When he’s not treating patients, he can be found adventuring with his partner, Juanita, and his two dogs, Jett and Ginny. He couldn’t be happier to serve the Toronto community!
