In 1948 the World Health Assembly defined Health as “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” This definition has been accepted for over 60 years, yet many facilities only address the symptomatology of presenting patients. We now have a solution for the health conscious individual looking to not only to reduce the symptoms they experience but to strive for increased overall Health and Well Being.
Chiropractic Wellness and Rehabilitation's vision of optimal patient health is addressed by a multidisciplinary focus. Traditional and Complimentary Health Care Practitioners work together in an effort to offer you, our patient, a convenient and knowledgeable team to assist you in your pursuit of optimal health and wellness. Together, our team of professionals can provide you with care or a referral for any concern you may have.
As a team, we will work towards alleviating any illness, injury or pain you are experiencing. Once the initial concern is addressed we will then work towards preventing future health issues by improving your overall wellness based on your individual needs. We are located at 17 Brock Street West in Oshawa. Only steps from our old location at Adelaide and Simcoe. We have ample free parking located on the West side of the building. Let our convenient location, caring compassionate practitioners, and our multidisciplinary focus help you reach your Health goals. Allow us to create the foundation of your optimal level of Wellness.
Dr. Kristopher Edwards
Chiropractor, Kinesiologist, Personal Trainer and Clinic Director
Dr. Kristopher J Edwards H.B. Kin D.C.
Dr. Edward's love of athletics and education led him to McMaster University to pursue a degree in Kinesiology and a collegiate career as a football player. Early in his second season as a McMaster Marauder a misdiagnosed injury that required surgery ended any opportunity to play competitive CIS Collegiate Football.
A surgical consult, months too late, revealed that traditional surgical methods would be of little help. Through plenty of research and hard work Dr. Edwards was able to successfully rehabilitate his own ankle to a fully functional state.
Although he was always drawn to Health Care, this incident was motivation to pursue a career that could not only provide treatment, pain relief and rehabilitation of injuries but also offered prevention and education as a primary focus. For Dr. Edwards, Chiropractic was the perfect fit.
Upon successfully completing an Honours Kinesiology Degree at McMaster University, Dr. Edwards was accepted into the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College. Dr. Edwards would spend the next four years studying, researching, and developing the skills required to be an ethical health care provider with a multidisciplinary focus.
Dr. Edwards enjoys treating patients with headaches, neck, back and extremity aches and pains. He also works with the WSIB to provide care for employees that have suffered work place injuries and along side auto insurers to return those suffering from car accidents back to pre injury status. There is also an emphasis on overall health and wellness and Dr. Edwards enjoys spending the time working towards reaching these goals with each and every one of his patients.
Dr. Edwards' background in athletics has lead to a special interest in managing sports injuries and returning athletes safely and quickly back to play. He has treated various professional athletes through his clinical internship and in private practice. The needs of these athletes have ranged from specific sports injuries to prevention and performance optimization. Through Dr. Edwards' university football experience he weighed in at 155 pounds. In order to compete at that weight- at the collegiate level- optimal training, diet, mental preparation, and discipline were needed. These attitudes and experiences are an asset, both on the field competing and in a clinical setting, rehabilitating his patient's athletic injuries. Dr. Edwards has likely experienced first hand or seen as both a practitioner and an athlete the injury that you are suffering from. These experiences and a complete understanding of the athletic mindset allow for the motivation and support needed to allow you to recover and return to the sport you love.
Although Football took over, Dr. Edwards' first love was hockey. Like all young Canadian hockey players he dreamed of playing goal for Team Canada. Although not on ice, the dream to represent our country on an international stage came true. Dr. Edwards was a member of the Canadian National In-line Hockey team and won the 1997 IIHF World Junior Championship.
Overall Dr. Edwards enjoys all sports on both recreational and competitive levels.
In his spare time, Dr. Edwards enjoys coaching various amateur football teams in the Durham region. He also enjoys spending time with his wife Dr. Patricia Riley and their young son, Lucas. Together they enjoy family, friends, exercise, athletics, and of course Chiropractic.

Dr. Patricia Riley H.B. Kin; D.C.
Dr. Patricia Riley is a Chiropractor practicing at Chiropractic Wellness and Rehabilitation alongside her husband and colleague Dr. Kristopher Edwards. Dr. Riley and Dr. Edwards attended the same high school, University, and Doctoral program, and are proud parents of their son, Lucas Kristopher. Dr. Riley first became interested in Chiropractic care at the age of 19, when 7 years of migraine headaches started to get the best of her. Dr. Riley began receiving treatment by a recommended Chiropractor and within a few visits her migraines subsided; and after a few months her migraines decreased from a couple of times a week, to none at all. This experience sparked her interest and after a lot of volunteering and observational work, she decided that Chiropractic was the health care field that she was most interested in. After attaining her Kinesiology degree and graduating with high distinction from McMaster University, Dr. Riley was given early acceptance to Canada’s only school of Chiropractic. Dr. Riley is also a certified personal trainer, specializing in rehabilitation and weight loss. She is also highly educated in nutritional awareness, pregnancy, and sports injuries. Dr. Riley also has experience treating children (including newborns) as well as treating pregnant patients (including babies presenting in the breech position) with much success. The Edwards family looks very forward to meeting you! Please feel free to contact our clinic for a free tour and consultation!
Massage Therapy is generally seen as a luxury in our busy lives. I believe that stress is a factor in our general day to day health as it can change our level of engagement. The health care system is beginning to understand how physiologically damaging stress can be from both a physical and emotional level. While enduring changes and injuries in our lives, we adapt, and including complimentary therapies can boost rehabilitation, healing, and of course prevention.
Hi, I’m Bruceton Truong RMT. I Graduated in 2005 from Centennial College's Massage Therapy program. The growing attitude and acceptance of complimentary therapy is continually expanding and I’m proud to support the development of these advancements. I encourage wellness and education to make our lives more livable through massage therapy. I specialize in Swedish massage and incorporate specialized techniques and remedial exercises. I look forward to promoting good emotional health and reducing stress for all of our clinic's patients.
