Functional Movement Assessments allow the doctor to systematically find the cause of symptoms, not just the source
By identifying whether a problem stems from too little movement or too much, clinicians can match care to what the body actually needs. This approach integrates motor control, nervous system development, and how different regions of the body influence one another.
Request An AppointmentInstrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization
Specialized contoured instruments are used with topical lotion to treat soft tissue restrictions in acute, chronic, and post-surgical conditions. This approach can support more efficient treatment, faster recovery, and reduced reliance on anti-inflammatory medication.
Request An AppointmentCustom Orthotics
Our foot scanner helps determine whether your arches are contributing to pain or movement issues. Because the feet are the body’s foundation, arch function can influence alignment throughout the ankles, knees, hips, and spine. When needed, orthotics and targeted exercises are used to support healthier gait and reduce unnecessary strain.
Myofascial Release Technique
Myofascial release addresses restrictions in muscles and connective tissue that often develop with repetitive use, sport, or physical work. Treatment involves hands-on assessment and targeted pressure combined with movement to improve tissue quality and restore more comfortable, efficient motion.
Request An AppointmentNutritional Counseling & Nutraceutical Support
Nutrition isn’t always straightforward. Food sensitivities and gut bacteria can influence cravings, digestion, and how well your body uses what you eat. When appropriate, food sensitivity and gut microbiome testing help guide personalized, whole-food nutritional support aimed at improving digestion and overall well-being.

"I was pleasantly surprised to find Dr. Ouellette had multiple methods of healing that helped me greatly".
Having struggled with chronic pain and cervical spine issues for more than 30 years, I was pleasantly surprised to find Dr. Ouellette had multiple methods of healing that helped me greatly. He did far more than traditional chiropractic manipulation, and I received a tremendous amount of relief clearly due to his knowledge. I’m sad to be moving off island away from Dr. Ouellette’s excellent care. He is a wonderful addition to Island Chiropractic."
