I can't think of a better place where you can go get an adjustment/acupuncture treatment than Oaktree. I've been going for 5+years to their downtown Ottawa location. The staff treat you like family and really care about your health/wellbeing. They also want to help improve your health, so you can be a better and healthier you! Thank you very much for helping me these past 5 years:)

Quand je pense à mon expérience avec Oaktree, plusieurs mots me viennent en tête... mais celui qui exprime le mieux ma pensée est humain. J'ai du faire face à plusieurs ennuis de santé depuis quelques années mais contrairement à mes expériences plutôt négatives avec certains prestataires de services de soins de santé, je me suis tout de suite sentie comprise, supportée et respectée par l'équipe d'Oaktree. Lorsque j'ai parlé avec Martin pour la première fois, j'ai été surprise par sa compassion et son désir d'aider. Après 3 mois de traitement, je suis heureuse de constater des améliorations marquées de mes douleurs lombaires, de la qualité de mon sommeil ainsi qu'à la fréquence et la sévérité de mes migraines, Plusieurs autres petits "bobos" sont également en voie de disparition, ce qui est merveilleux!! Si jamais votre chemin croise celui de Martin ou Dr. Émilie, saisissez la chance et vous pourrez constater par vous-même à quel point ce sont vraiment des gens à part...

Highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend! The Lisgar location is absolutely charming, easy to access even from out of town and the parking situation is great (some free spaces and LOTS of street parking). Friendly staff, easy appointment booking and flexibility if needing to reschedule. Acupuncture was suggested to help with my IVF fertility journey and after some research I booked an appointment with Martin. Honestly one of the best decisions of my life! He helped me achieve the perfect state of body and mind to help our last embryo implant and, next thing you know, I’m pregnant! He even went out of his way to accommodate an extra appointment the day of the procedure, for which I am so very grateful for. I cannot thank Martin and the Oaktree team enough!

Chiropractic Care

Dealing with pain or tension that disrupts your day? Our Downtown Ottawa chiropractor team provides gentle, personalized chiropractic adjustments to help realign your spine, relieve pain, and improve your overall health.

We focus on restoring proper spinal alignment and nervous system function so your body can heal naturally. Whether you’re struggling with chronic headaches, limited mobility, or pain that’s affecting your work and life, every adjustment is tailored specifically to your body and goals.

Most patients notice improved movement and reduced pain within their first few visits.

“Oaktree has made such a positive difference in my life. Since starting my chiropractic program, I’ve felt a real boost in my energy, my morning back aches have disappeared, and my posture has improved a lot.”

Acupuncture

We also offer acupuncture treatments performed by our highly trained Registered Acupuncturists (R.Ac).

Acupuncture is a time-tested therapy rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine to target pain, reduce inflammation, and help your body heal faster. Ultra-fine needles placed at specific points trigger your body’s natural pain relief and healing responses.

Our Downtown Ottawa acupuncturists will make sure you’re comfortable. Acupuncture works exceptionally well alongside chiropractic care. Sessions are surprisingly relaxing (most patients report feeling deeply calm), and the benefits extend beyond pain relief to facial rejuvenation, better sleep, and reduced anxiety.

“Fantastic clinic! Oaktree chiropractic and acupuncture does this well by offering both these services, including the capacity to take X-rays to better determine your spine’s overall health. I appreciate the advice provided too. Everyone is amazing at the clinic!”

Questions About Your First Visit?

Here are the answers to common questions we’re asked inside our Lisgar St clinic

Absolutely. Many of our team members are bilingual and happy to provide care in English or French, whichever you’re most comfortable with.

Most major Canadian insurance plans have coverage for chiropractic and/or acupuncture. We will provide you with the documentation you need to submit your claim.

Please note we don’t currently offer direct billing

Set aside about 45 to 60 minutes. Your chiropractor or acupuncturist will go through your health history, complete an assessment, and map out a treatment plan with you.

Acupuncture patients can expect a session the same day. For chiropractic, it may be the first day, or may be the next visit, depending on the presentation and if any additional tests were done (for ex: X-rays).  Wear something comfortable you can move in, and bring along your insurance card plus any imaging (X-rays, MRIs) you have on hand.

Nope. You can book directly with our chiropractors or acupuncturists. No doctor’s referral required!
