Meet Dr. Mishka

Originally from Montreal, Québec, Dr. Mishka completed her post-secondary studies at the University of Waterloo and the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto. It was chiropractic’s blend of science and art that drew her to the profession, and it is what continues to drive her passion to this day.

Following graduation, Dr. Mishka lived and worked in London, UK before returning to locum across Ontario and eventually settling in her own practice in Toronto. In 2012, Dr. Mishka completed the Animal Chiropractic Certificate, expanding her skill set to include treatment of both small and large animals. Since then, she has operated animal practices through the All About Dogs canine agility centre and the Animal Rehabilitation Centre, in addition to her own people practice in Toronto. Her experience includes working with agility and sport dogs, post-op and chronic medical issues, breeders and their new litters and everything in between.

Dr. Mishka continues to explore further studies in chiropractic, pediatrics, nutrition and orthotics as well as various techniques including Diversified, Thompson, Activator, SOT (Sacro-Occipital Technique) and Craniosacral Therapy. She also holds certification for Webster Technique, used for pelvic balancing in pregnant women. The variety of low and medium force tools allows her the flexibility of treating patients of all ages, lifestyle and treatment preferences.

In her spare time, Dr. Mishka enjoys cycling, hiking, snowboarding, drawing and spending time with her husband Jason, her two children Ben and Averie and their dogs Harry and Shelby.

“Dr Mishka is THE BEST! Both myself and my dog have significantly benefited from the treatments by Dr Mishka. She got me off my post hip replacement cane and we’re now able to move a spot in my mid back that had been stuck for a very long time.

She’s also done an amazing job keeping my 14 year old dog mobile and living his best life for the past 3 years. People are astonished at the dog park when I share his age. Her treatments have also really helped his touch averse tendencies to become a much more balanced dog in both her setting and with our regular vet.

We started off feeling completely overwhelmed walking in the door the 1st day and immediately felt supported by Dr Mishka in every way to help sort Henry out! It’s made a big difference for our lives.”
