Over the years, I’ve developed a structured, integrative approach to understanding how neuromusculoskeletal pain and dysfunction arise and persist. My focus is on providing individualized, hands-on care combined with guided movement strategies that support recovery and long-term function. I describe this approach as Integrative Manual Therapy and Active Rehabilitation.

Care begins with a detailed assessment and a clear explanation of what may be contributing to your symptoms. Treatment may include a combination of chiropractic joint manipulation and mobilization, contemporary neuro-anatomical acupuncture, advanced soft-tissue and fascial techniques (including Fascial Distortion Model and instrument-assisted methods), shockwave therapy, laser therapy (photobiomodulation), frequency-specific microcurrent, and kinesiology taping. Techniques are selected and combined based on clinical findings, goals, and stage of recovery.

As symptoms improve, care transitions toward active rehabilitation, including individualized exercises, movement retraining, and postural strategies designed to improve tolerance to load and reduce the likelihood of recurrence.

A central part of my work is helping patients understand why symptoms may be occurring and what practical steps can support more durable improvement. My goal is to provide clear guidance, effective care, and a structured path back to confident movement and daily function.

Dr. O’Hara works together with her patients to restore symmetry of function by optimizing mobility, strength and co-ordination. Discussion of lifestyle issues, nutrition and exercise are part of her approach; she readily refers as needed to her wide network of health care professionals.

Gentle instrument-assisted adjusting (The Activator Method), traditional spinal and non-spinal manipulation/mobilization and soft tissues techniques are her preferred methods of treatment. The latter include myofascial trigger point therapy, applied kinesiology and the Graston technique for releasing fascial restrictions.

Dr. O’Hara is a 1982 cum laude graduate of Toronto’s Canadian MemorialChiropractic College. Prior to this she earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Indiana’s Ball State University and completed graduate coursework at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

In 1989 she opened the multi-disciplinary clinic, Bloor-Avenue Chiropractic, and practiced there until her transition to ONE80health in December 2020.
