About Dr. Daina
I’m Dr. Daina Patel, a chiropractor based in Ontario.
I spent years treating bodies that weren’t responding the way they should. The adjustments held for a day. The advice was good and nothing was sticking. People were doing everything right and still stuck.
I started asking different questions. Not what is structurally wrong — but why does the body keep returning to this state? Why do some people heal and others plateau no matter what we try?
The answer, consistently, was the nervous system. Specifically — a nervous system that had learned to stay on high alert and couldn’t find its way back to safe.
When I started understanding my own nervous system — the chronic tension, the hypervigilance, the way my body physically responded to certain environments and demands — everything I’d been treating in my patients finally made a different kind of sense.
Your body isn’t the problem. The environment your nervous system is trying to survive is.
That’s what I help with now.
A little bit of background info
I graduated with an honours Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Waterloo in Biomedical Sciences and have a strong science background. Then I went on to complete my Doctor of Chiropractic at New York Chiropractic College. I’m always learning new things and keeping up with the most current information out there to make sure that I can do everything in my power to help you feel better. My priority as a chiropractor is your health and wellness. Currently, I am working towards my certification in Functional Medicine.
My Practice
While I see patients in person at clinic locations across the GTA, I’ve spent years developing a framework that goes beyond what happens in the treatment room.
The Neuro-Somatic Mapping program is built for people who need to understand the logic of their nervous system — not just manage their symptoms. It’s coming soon. My area of focus is helping you manage and regulate your nervous system to create safety in your body.
I take a holistic approach to health care and treat the root cause rather than just addressing symptoms to provide you with long-lasting relief. For those scared of adjustments or new to chiropractic treatment, I use many other techniques and tools so you can still receive high-quality hands-on care even without adjustments if that’s your preference.
When I’m not working
Besides working, I love to spend time in the kitchen using all the newest tools and gadgets to make delicious food. I especially love to experiment and play around with recipes to make them healthier with less sugar and more protein. I also enjoy returning to nature, spending time on trails, and simply smelling the flowers. Having a consistent exercise routine is very important to me and I love to work out! My favourite workouts include yoga and weight lifting.
