My Story

 

Growing up with Italian parents certainly set the stage for living a “natural lifestyle.”  My grandmother’s “old country” remedies were revisited for everything from the common cold to headaches and everything in between.

I was fortunate that my parents used chiropractic care and I was exposed at a young age. It was a high school football injury that set me on my journey towards becoming a chiropractor. When traditional medical care was unable to help, it was chiropractic care that enabled me to fully recover from my injuries.  I experienced fewer colds and flu, and overall better health, while seeing the chiropractor regularly. This truly peeked my interest in  chiropractic.

While studying Human Kinetics in university, much of my spare time was spent volunteering in a chiropractic office and the university sports injury clinic. It was this exposure that confirmed my dreams of becoming a Doctor of Chiropractic. 

My philosophy of health is one that encompasses the whole person.  I strongly believe in the connection between mind and body.  My private practice is centered on patient education aimed at fostering an optimal picture of health for the whole family.  Working from a holistic paradigm, I consider the physical, chemical and emotional aspects of all my patients.

I believe alone or in combination, imbalance in these factors can lead to illness within an individual.

As founder of Inner Balance Chiropractic Centre, I have realized my dream of creating a multidisciplinary health care centre. As a team, we strive to provide the highest quality of health care possible. I remain current on new developments within the healthcare world by attending conferences regularly. Some areas of special interest to me include Temperomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMJ), Nutrition, Applied Kinesiology, Myofascial Release Techniques, and Chiropractic Pediatrics. I have attained certification in The Webster Technique. This technique is highly effective in caring for pregnant women throughout all stages of pregnancy.

In my spare time, I enjoy time spent with family and friends.  Regular exercise is an extremely important part of my life as it helps keep me healthy.  I really enjoy the outdoors; golf, fishing, and water skiing.  Cottage country makes me happy!  My daughters keep me busy with their sports and active lives.  We enjoy travel as a family when we have the chance.

Striving to be an example to my patients I try to “balance” life’s demands.  I am grateful for the opportunity to share chiropractic with you!

Life changing for my minor brain injury issues. When I first walked into Dr. Schirru’s chiropractic office last week I had taken a fall the night prior in the shower and hit my head once again. I have been suffering for 6 months with post major concussion symptoms also referred to as a minor brain injury. 24 Hour pain and pressure behind my left ear, Vertigo, memory intake issues, limited sleep, my mind always feeling foggy, severe Tinnitus and tracking issues in my left eye. I had reached a point where I was taking large amounts of nerve blockers for the pain, sleeping 3-4 hours a day due to pain exhaustion and wearing a 10lbs weight vest so I could actually walk in a straight line. I walked into Inner Balance believing I would have an adjustment completed on my neck from the pain I had endured from the prior nights shower fall. My appointment went differently then I could have ever imagined. Dr. Schirru took the time to Listen not just regarding my shower fall aches but to everything I had experienced in the last 6 months. Dr. Schirru examined my x-rays his office had completed and well…. the results of Dr Schirru’s adjustments have left me knowing things are truly going to be ok. Within my first 2 adjustments 100% of the pain and pressure behind my left ear was gone; I am already off 100% off the nerve block medicine. My vertigo 100% gone; balance is back. I have stopped wearing my 10lbs weight vest. My thought process is starting to feel crisp again. My memory intake is improving. My severe Tinnitus is not that “ severe” anymore. I’m not sleeping 3-4 hours a day due to pain exhaustion. I feel that Dr. Schirru gave me my life back in only the first few visits. I will continue on with the 5 stages of care. I share this hoping it reaches just 1 person with a minor brain injury to know there’s a solution.

Since I started visiting Inner Balance Chiropractic 2 years ago I have had great positive effects on my body. I have sciatic nerve issues that is slowing me down and have an appointment with a specialist in 2014. In the mean time I get adjustments to alleviate the pain for as long as I can. I truly look forward to my visits, the staff in the office are warm and friendly professionals, and Dr. Schruu is definitely the professional that he claims to be. Thank you for keeping me healthy.
