Elite Chiropractic & Rehab Care

At Ground Up Chiropractic & Rehab, our flagship Hamilton clinic is built around one idea: care that actually changes how your body moves, not just how it feels for a few days. Our space includes a full gym so treatment, rehab, and strength work happen under one roof.

We work with active adults, athletes, first responders, and busy professionals who have been let down by traditional care — quick adjustments, passive modalities, or generic protocols that don’t hold up. Our model is different. We focus on uncovering the root cause of your pain and building a clear plan to move you forward.

Clinic Director Dr. Dimitar Variyski, D.C. blends clinical, academic, and athletic experience into a system that integrates movement assessment, hands-on therapy, and progressive rehabilitation — all grounded in evidence-based practice.

Tools like joint manipulation, soft tissue therapy, shockwave, and Class IV laser help reduce pain. They’re a starting point, not the plan. Real change comes from structured rehab, individualized progressions, and intentional load management — designed for the demands of your sport, training, work, or daily life.

We direct bill most major insurance providers, so getting started is simple. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, breaking a chronic pain cycle, or trying to perform at a higher level, we’re here to help you move better, get stronger, and stay resilient long after symptoms are gone.

We see patients primarily at our Hamilton clinic, with one day per week in Mississauga and one day per week in Stoney Creek.

For most neuromusculoskeletal issues, rehab-focused chiropractic care isn’t just helpful — it’s the missing piece. Our approach combines hands-on treatment with individualized corrective exercise to address the root cause of pain and movement dysfunction, not just the symptom on the surface.

We commonly help patients with:

• Neck and back pain
• Disc herniation and radiculopathy
• Headaches, migraines, and jaw / TMJ dysfunction
• Sciatica and nerve entrapments
• Knee, hip, ankle, and foot pain
• Plantar fasciitis and heel spurs
• Shoulder injuries (rotator cuff, frozen shoulder, impingement)
• Tendinopathy (tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, Achilles, patellar)
• Thoracic outlet syndrome
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Sprains and strains
• Cervicogenic dizziness and vertigo
• Arthritis and joint degeneration
• Bursitis
• Post-surgical rehab and movement reconditioning
• Performance-limiting pain in athletes, lifters, runners, and first responders

If you’ve been told to “rest it,” “live with it,” or “just keep stretching,” you’re probably the patient we work best with.
