Dr. Joanne Kostadopoulos, Chiropractor, Halifax, NS

The Road to Chiropractic Genesis Chiropractic & Wellness Centre Chiropractor, Dr. Joanne KostadopoulosI’ve always been drawn to helping people. I knew I wanted to be a doctor at an early age. My mother always told me I used to speak about that as a child. As I got older, I realized that I didn’t want to be the kind of doctor that prescribed medications, or performed surgeries. I wanted to help people in a more natural way. Something my sister said to me when I was in my final year of University put me on the path to chiropractic. When I looked into it further, I realized that chiropractic allowed me to be the kind of doctor I had always envisioned. It allowed me to practice what I always believed in about healing. Now I’m able to share that belief about healthy living and how to achieve that with others. I am eternally grateful to my sister for the inspiration. Chiropractic Education After successfully completing high school with honours, I studied engineering and science at Acadia University in Nova Scotia and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Biology. I then went on to receive my Doctor of Chiropractic Degree in 1999 from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College, in Toronto, Ontario. I’m a member of the Canadian Chiropractic Association, the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College, the Nova Scotia College of Chiropractors, the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association, and the St. George’s Halifax Greek Orthodox Community. I continuously apply myself to learning new skills in order to provide better services and care to the patients that I serve each day. Ongoing professional development is a very important part of my professional life. The Reward The most rewarding part of being a chiropractor is making a difference in people’s lives. The ongoing learning I experience by being a chiropractor really motivates me to do better in some way, which in turn, inspires me to bring that knowledge and skill to those that I serve in some positive way. Being a chiropractor is truly a blessing. That blessing allows me the opportunity to help people make better choices for themselves, their families and their loved ones. To see people truly get well and live the life intended for them is an honour. On a Personal Note I live in Halifax with my husband Tom and my son Tobias. I enjoy the home I have created for them and myself. I am the proud godparent to my brother’s son, and a doting aunt to my sister’s daughter. My first language is Greek, but my dominant language is English. I was raised in Glace Bay, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. My parents emigrated from Greece in the early 70’s. I am the eldest of three. My parents instilled in us a strong sense of family and loyalty that I carry into my adult life, and my chiropractic practice. I enjoy traveling and new experiences, and celebrating the differences amongst people I meet every day. I also enjoy gardening, reading, art and design. I love developing new ideas and ongoing learning. I love the outdoors and especially the sun and being near water. I love the energy and vitality I receive by doing these things. It’s nurturing- like food for my soul. I enjoy the feeling of being in love and building relationships with people. These things inspire and motivate me to be a better person, mother, wife and chiropractor and I feel that when I engage in these soulful activities, it brings out the best in me.

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.
