Dr. Richelle Martins
Co-owner & Chiropractor
Dr. Richelle Martins graduated from McMaster University with a Bachelor’s of Science in Kinesiology and then went on to graduate as a Doctor of Chiropractic from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC). She has also completed and is certified in Webster Technique and in the McMaster Neurofunctional Acupuncture course.
Prior to starting university, Dr. Martins was a competitive dancer. Over the years she has trained in many types of dance including tap, jazz and lyrical. She has had both personal and clinical experience with the typical injuries dancers may have and is very interested in the care of all dancers. She also has a special interest in treating pregnant and post-partum women as well as both infants and children. While these are areas of interest for Dr. Martins, she is excited to help all those who are in need of therapy.
Dr. Martins uses manipulation/mobilizations, soft tissue therapy, acupuncture and rehabilitation to help her patients increase their function, decrease their pain and improve their quality of life. All of her treatments are carefully chosen for each individual based on the current evidence and their specific needs as determined by a thorough assessment.
When Dr. Martins is not treating patients, she likes to spend her free time dancing, staying active both inside and outside and spending time with her family and friends.

Dr. Krysta Martins
Chiropractor
Dr. Krysta was born and raised in Hamilton, Ontario and recently moved to the Niagara region to start practicing. Growing up, Dr. Krysta was always active, playing soccer, figure skating, cheerleading, swimming and mostly dancing. She was a dancer for 18 years and competed for several years. She is no stranger to the aches and pains that come with these sports.
Dr. Krysta completed her undergraduate degree at McMaster University, and graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Kinesiology with honours. She then attended Northeast College of Health Sciences (formerly New York Chiropractic College) in New York and obtained her Doctor of Chiropractic degree. She graduated with Honours, was inducted into the Phi Chi Omega Honours Society, and earned an advanced certificate in Whole Food Nutrition. Dr. Krysta is also certified in the McMaster Contemporary Medical Acupuncture Program and is Barre certified. She has also taken numerous courses to increase her palpation and adjustive skills through the Motion Palpation Institute, and was the President of the Motion Palpation Club at her school.
Dr. Krysta has always had a special interest in treating the paediatric population in order to help them maintain a healthy lifestyle long term that continues into their adult life. Being a competitive dancer herself has also led her to an increased interest in treating dancers and gymnasts to help educate them on ways to avoid injury and strengthen their bodies to prepare for their training. With that being said, Dr. Krysta is excited to treat patients of all ages and help everyone live their very best life.
When she is not with patients you can find her hanging out with family and friends, being active and outdoors, reading a book, playing music, or cuddled with some blankets watching a good tv show.
