Welcome to Modern Health Chiropractic & Wellness. Located downtown St. Catharines, we provide services to help families in our community get well and stay well.
Our goal is simple: to modernize and raise the bar for health in the Niagara Region. Gone are the days where people thought the definition of health meant feeling good and being symptom free with the help of medications and surgery. Through chiropractic, massage, movement, proper nutrition and positive lifestyle changes, a new level of health and wellness can be achieved naturally
The health within our community is quickly deteriorating. Our new perceived normal includes alarming rates of chronic illness, overdependence on drugs and medications, sky-high rates of childhood illness and an inability to cope with daily stress. At Modern Health Chiropractic & Wellness we serve to elevate health, restore happiness and vitalistic inspiration to families and awaken the game changing, self-healing power within each and every one of us.
Dr. Christen Schutt was born and raised in Sudbury, Ontario. She was introduced to chiropractic while pursuing her BA in Community Health at Brock University. She began working as a chiropractic assistant during her summer holidays and fell in love with the chiropractic profession.
Upon completion of her undergraduate studies at Brock University she attended Palmer Chiropractic College in Port Orange, Florida. Dr. Schutt returned to the Niagara Region to begin her practice and opened Modern Health Chiropractic in September 2016 following two years of practice in the area.
Dr. Schutt helps her patients to achieve health and wellness through addressing the root cause of the problem: dysfunction of the nervous system. She uses several techniques in practice including Gonstead, Diversified, Thompson, Applied Kinesiology, Pettibon and Kinesiotape. Dr. Schutt also incorporates nutrition, supplementation, physical activity and stress reduction in her practice to address specific needs and goals for each patient. With a holistic approach to care and a great team offering complimentary services patients are able to achieve optimal results and achieve new health heights.
Dr. Schutt is extremely passionate about health and helping her patients reach their personal goals. She feels it is her requirement to help guide the chiropractic profession in a positive direction and does so by volunteering her time at Quest Community Health Centre in St. Catharines. Dr. Schutt also holds several free screening events within the community throughout the year.
