Tired of Temporary Relief?
We understand that many new patients arrive at our clinic frustrated. You may have tried chiropractic, physiotherapy, or medication separately, without seeing lasting results.
It is a common pattern we see every day: disjointed treatments addressing only part of the problem.
The Dr. Lee Difference: Our practice is built on a truly integrated approach. We combine a deep understanding of structural mechanics (Chiropractic) with physiological balance (TCM Acupuncture) to identify the root cause of your condition—not just treat the symptoms.
What to Expect on Your First Visit
Step 1: The Consultation
We start by listening. You will have a one-on-one consultation to discuss your full health history, current challenges, and recovery goals. Understanding your story is the critical first step.
Step 2: The Dual-Perspective Assessment
Dr. Lee conducts a detailed physical examination from two distinct, regulated perspectives: Chiropractic and Traditional Chinese Medicine. This allows us to see the complete picture—from joint mechanics to tissue health.
Step 3: Your Personalized Plan
We don't do "cookie-cutter" treatments. You will receive a clear explanation of your root cause and a custom treatment plan designed to get you better, faster.
Maximize Your Insurance Coverage
One of the unique advantages of our clinic is Dr. Derek Lee’s dual licensure. Because Dr. Lee is both a Chiropractor and a Registered Acupuncturist, he has the unique ability to help you utilize a wider range of your employment benefits.
How It Works: Most insurance plans separate your benefits into distinct "buckets"—one for Chiropractic and one for Acupuncture. At a standard clinic, a chiropractor or physiotherapist cannot access your Acupuncture benefits, meaning those funds often go unused.
Dr. Lee’s dual credentials allow him to unlock both benefit categories. This flexibility allows us to structure your long-term care to take advantage of whichever coverage is most beneficial for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: Do I need a referral? A: No. Chiropractors and Acupuncturists are primary care providers in Ontario, so you do not need a referral to book an appointment. However, check your specific insurance policy, as some plans may require one for reimbursement.
-
Q: What should I bring? A: Please bring any relevant medical documents (such as X-ray or MRI reports) and a list of current medications. Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows for easy movement during your assessment.
-
Q: How does the "Combo Treatment" billing work? A: We keep it simple. While the treatment integrates both therapies, we will bill your visit under the specific license (Chiropractic or Acupuncture) that maximizes your available coverage for that session.

I had an amazing experience receiving acupuncture for pain in my right scapula and arm. Doctor Lee is incredibly caring, patient, and attentive, and made me feel very safe and comfortable throughout the entire process. I tend to be quite anxious, but he took the time to explain everything clearly, checked in frequently, and made sure I felt supported at all times. He is extremely knowledgeable about science and anatomy, which gave me a lot of confidence in the treatment. Everything was done in a very professional and experienced manner, and the treatment felt thoughtful and well planned rather than rushed. I noticed real relief in both pain and tension after my sessions. He also took the time to teach me about posture and simple adjustments I could make in my daily life to prevent the pain from coming back. As someone interested in health care myself, I truly hope to be as humble, patient, and compassionate in my own practice one day. The clinic environment was calm and welcoming, which also helped ease my anxiety. I am very grateful for the care I received and would highly recommend him to anyone, especially if you are nervous or new to acupuncture.

I had an excellent experience with aesthetic treatments for swelling in my cheeks and for softening my eyebrow lines. The doctor has a very refined and artistic approach, and I felt confident from the moment I walked in that I was in experienced hands. The results look very balanced and subtle, with a noticeable reduction in swelling and smoother eyebrow lines while still looking completely natural. The environment was calm and clean, and the overall experience was high quality. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for aesthetic treatments that prioritize safety, expertise, and natural results.

Derek is extremely knowledgeable and has always got me back on track from a healing perspective through his treatments and supplement regimes and helps me navigate stress, fatigue, and changing hormones as a woman in her 40’s. I have been seeing Derek on and off for nearly 15 years and I highly recommend him.

Dr Lee is amazing! I’m so happy and satisfied with his work! We are almost done with my 10 sessions for my calcifications on my rotator cuff and after the first 2 sessions I already started seeing great results! Now I decided to have my orthotics done with Dr. Lee! I’m so excited for my orthotics because I was suffering for a couple of years now with my feet. I also got my supplements from Dr. Lee and I started to feel like myself again! Thank you for all your help in my recovery process!
