ABOUT RIVERVIEW CHIROPRACTIC
Riverview Chiropractic in Pembroke Ontario is currently the longest standing chiropractic clinic in the Ottawa Valley, founded by Dr. John Ewart over 30 years ago and passing to Dr. Aaron Simon in 2008. The clinic is best known for its use of the Activator Method of Chiropractic, which involves the use of a hand held instrument to deliver an adjustment to patients rather than the more common hands on approach involving twisting the patient. Dr. John Ewart was one of the first chiropractors in Canada to use the Activator method of chiropractic, and as of 2011 Dr. Aaron Simon is the only certified advanced level practitioner of the Activator technique in the Ottawa Valley.
Dr. Aaron Simon grew up in Pembroke, Ontario. He graduated from Fellows High School as an Ontario Scholar in 1999. He then graduated from Nipissing University with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology. Dr. Simon went on to attend the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College for four years where he received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree. Dr. Simon then returned to the Ottawa Valley and took over the practice of Dr. John Ewart in 2008. Dr. Simon has post-graduate training in the Activator Method of Chiropractic, as well as Medical Acupuncture from McMaster University.
I have had a few visits and absolutely recommend Dr. Simon as well his practice to all I know. Felt welcomend and he took the time to explaine everything that would be taken place in helping my needs. He answered all questions I had and talked about ways I can help myself at home.
