PROFESSIONAL FOCUS
As a chiropractor, Dr. Fagen uses a multifaceted treatment approach to find the root cause of symptoms and address her patients' concerns. She employs Postural Assessments to screen for asymmetries, Muscle Testing to identify compensation patterns, Laser Therapy to promote healing in damaged tissues, and gentle Adjustments to restore mobility. She adapts each treatment to her patient, and has plenty of tools and tricks up her sleeve.
As a psychotherapist, Michelle practices Gestalt Therapy to help her clients navigate challenges. She is very empathetic as she knows first-hand how empowering and life changing therapy can be. Humour and creativity are just a few of Michelle's many traits that help people feel comfortable talking with her.
MORE ABOUT MICHELLE
Michelle knows back pain - and has a specific interest managing disc herniations, both her own and her patients'. When she's not in a Chiropractic appointment or a Psychotherapy session (either as the practitioner or the patient), she is attempting to train her sheep-a-doodle puppy Phoebe, as well as her sons. She notes that they all respond to treats and don't like taking baths. In the few spare minutes she has left, she enjoys travelling (most recently to Norway!), swimming (great for the back and mind!) and Pilates.
