Dr. Murray Townsend Bio

Dr. Murray Townsend / B.Sc. , D.C. Dr. Murray Townsend began practicing in Mount Forest in May 1999, after starting to practice in Arthur in February 1999 with the practice’s previous owner, Dr. David Gohn. It was shortly after that, in September 1999, that his soon-to-be wife, Dr. Michelle Gross, joined him. In 2002, both doctors continued practicing solely in Mount Forest. Dr. Townsend entered the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto after graduating from Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo. He graduated from CMCC in 1996. Initially Dr. Townsend participated in research efforts with the Canadian Chiropractic Protective Association (CCPA), and co-authored articles published in the Journal of the Canadian Chiropractic Association (JCCA) and the Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ). Dr. Townsend first practiced in Clinton with Drs. Laurie Colquhoun and Carolyn Wood. It was in this practice that he had been a patient (since age 4) of Dr. Colquhoun and Dr. Wood’s father, Dr. Ken Wood. The choice of being a chiropractor stemmed from the experiences of living on a farm near Seaforth and playing sports (especially hockey, curling and baseball), and the positive influence as a chiropractic patient in Clinton. Dr. Townsend continues to have an interest in a variety of sports, and treats patients that are involved in the traditional hockey and baseball, to those who train for MMA fighting or run marathons. Whether a sports injury or strains from picking stones in the spring, Dr. Townsend enjoys helping all the members of the community. As such, it has been particularly rewarding to develop a relationship with the other health care providers in the community to help better serve patients` needs. In 2004-2006, our office participated in a `Collaborative Practice Study between Physicians and Chiropractors`. This led to a more formal and cooperative interaction with the Mount Forest physicians and Family Health Team. Since 2015-2016, our office has been fortunate enough to be included in the Ontario Government`s Low Back Pain Care initiative, continuing our focus on collaborative patient care. Drs. Townsend and Gross live in Mount Forest with their sons Joey and John.

It's great that you're considering chiropractic care for various conditions. Chiropractors can indeed provide treatments to address neuromusculoskeletal issues, including those related to scoliosis, hip and pelvis pain, and shoulder arthritis. However, it's important to consult with a qualified healthcare professional, such as a local chiropractor, to determine the most appropriate treatment approach for your specific situation.

For scoliosis, chiropractic care may involve spinal adjustments and exercises aimed at improving posture and reducing spinal curvature. A chiropractor can assess the severity of scoliosis and provide appropriate treatment recommendations.

In the case of hip and pelvis pain, chiropractors can assess the underlying cause of the pain and provide treatments such as spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, exercises, and other modalities to alleviate symptoms and promote healing.

Regarding shoulder arthritis, chiropractors may offer non-surgical treatment options to help manage the condition. These options can include rest, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs), chiropractic adjustments to improve range of motion, corticosteroid injections, and heat/cold therapy. However, the specific treatment plan would depend on the individual's condition and should be discussed with a chiropractor.

Remember, while chiropractic care can be beneficial for many individuals, it's important to have a thorough evaluation by a qualified healthcare professional to ensure that the treatments are appropriate for your specific needs. Consulting with a local chiropractor would allow you to discuss your condition in detail and determine the best course of action.
