As with other chiropractors, the focus of his care is on neuro-musculo-skeletal system, assessing movement patterns throughout the body, determining areas of muscle weakness or limited mobility. Dr. Whitty’s patient population stretches from teens and youths to seniors. The complaints are musculo-skeletal problems, sports injury and rehabilitation, low back pain, sciatica, hip, knee, ankle, shoulder and neck pain as well as the headaches are the most common areas of involvement. His focus is on addressing the soft tissues (muscle and tendons) and joint mobility. Manipulation of the spine is one of the treatments Dr. Whitty utilizes but not exclusively. Most patients receive soft tissue therapy particularly Active Release Technique® and Graston Technique® or Acupuncture and Dry Needling and all are prescribed restorative exercises. Dr. Whitty is the founder of CrossFit PEI, one of the first CrossFit gyms in Eastern Canada in 2008. He is a Level 4 CrossFit Coach, a Level II Olympic Weight Lifting Coach and a Certified Yoga Instructor.
