Meet Me
Dr. Joanna Galasso
(She/Her/Hers)
Originally from Alberta, Dr. Galasso graduated from the University of Calgary with her undergraduate degree and then furthered her education by attending the University of Saskatchewan to focus her research interests in toxicology, specifically in understanding the many ways in which biological, chemical, and physical hazards can impact one’s health. It was during this time that her research helped her to discover the benefits of complementary medicine as a means of managing disease and illness. Encouraged by this potential, Dr. Galasso headed to Toronto to study at the world-renowned Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College, graduating in 2011. Over the years, Dr. Galasso has worked with a diverse patient population, helping them throughout all stages of their lives including pregnancy, infancy, adolescence and adulthood.
Dr. Galasso has taken advanced training in pregnancy to be able to treat the unique aches and pains that accompany pregnancy to ensure your treatments are safe and effective, helping you to have a healthy and comfortable pregnancy. Dr. Galasso maintains an up-to-date certification in Webster Technique to ensure her treatments remain evidence based and adhere to the high International Chiropractic Paediatric Association standards. With a special interest in treating infants and children, Dr. Galasso continues to advance her skill set and knowledge to be able to offer the safest and most effective care for your little ones. In addition to being a Family Chiropractor, Dr. Galasso is a DONA trained birth doula and studied midwifery at Ryerson University. In these roles Dr. Galasso has had the privilege of supporting clients and their families during pregnancy, labour and the postpartum period. Dr. Galasso draws on her experience and education to offer insightful and practical preparation for both the emotional and physiological experiences of pregnancy, labour and the fourth trimester. Dr. Galasso is trained Sexual Health Educator, is trained as a pre- and postnatal yoga teacher, and is a certified ROST therapist for symphysis pubis dysfunction and pelvic girdle pain conditions.
Dr. Galasso’s approach to care focuses on working directly with patients to resolve the underlying cause of their condition(s), not simply their symptoms. As such, her chiropractic repertoire includes a diverse array of options, including instrument-assisted soft-tissue therapy (Graston® and Myofascial Cupping), therapeutic taping (Kinesotaping®), rehabilitation exercises and recommendations, prescription orthotics, manual and instrument-assisted adjustments, therapeutic ultrasound, and most importantly, patient education.
