Dr. Ashley Wincikaby is a graduate from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Ashley’s main focus is towards female care (pregnancy & postpartum), ​adolescent​ athletic rehabilitation (concussion), and the promotion of functional ability in older ages for independent living (fall prevention & neurological disorder management). Her treatment styles include chiropractic adjustments/mobilizations, both manual and tool-assisted soft tissue therapy, and performance-focussed rehabilitation. With an evidence-based, holistic approach to practice, Ashley understands that diagnosing an issue starts with recognizing the mind-body connection. Her approach to care focuses on acknowledging the core aspects of each person’s well being; emotionally, mentally & physically. This structure of care allows for patients to seek treatment, while bettering their overall health through education and awareness.

Outside of the office, Ashley’s passions include health & nutrition, cooking, hiking and trail running, Dragon Boat paddling, kickboxing, and overall health and fitness. Her dedication to her education is evident in her past and future accolades as she is currently enrolled in Nanaimo’s Canadian School of Natural Nutrition, for Holistic Nutrition.
