In the realm of healthcare, LIVEMAX Health Group in Sudbury is a leading provider of holistic wellness treatments for clients who are seeking a treatment approach to healing that goes beyond the mere management of symptoms.
Since LIVEMAX opened its doors in Sudbury’s South End in 2015, the skilled practitioners, led by owner and chiropractor Dr. Andre Senechal use their expertise in chiropractic, physiotherapy, massage, osteopathy, acupuncture, and naturopathy to soothe aches, banish pains, and restore bodies to allow individuals to live their lives pain free and enjoy life to the fullest.
Each treatment is tailored to the unique needs of the individual client. Dr. Andre Senechal says, “We want the absolute best for our patients. We truly want to help them through their discomfort and pain and help them recover, allowing them to return to work and living their lives with their families and friends.” The LIVEMAX team’s goal is to ensure their patients are relieved of pain and discomfort as quickly as possible while getting healthier, stronger, and have better mobility so they can enjoy their lives.
Helping patients isn’t a job, it’s a calling
Dr. Senechal and his staff are passionate about their profession and are continually upgrading and educating themselves about the latest improvements and developments in their respective fields. Dr. Senechal says, “For example, it used to be that bed rest was recommended for low back pain, but now the recommendation is active rest and recovery. Very little bed rest is recommended because after a few days patients begin losing muscle mass and it becomes a steeper recovery.” Dr. Senechal is continually reviewing the findings of expert researchers.
Seeing their patients improve is extremely rewarding. Dr. Senechal says, “From a selfish perspective, it’s very fulfilling when a patient comes in with pain and the leaves our office feeling better. It’s very fulfilling to provide treatment that reduces their discomfort to the point that they can enjoy their lives and envision a better future.”
Dr. Andre Senechal is considered by many to be on the leading edge of chiropractic and sports therapy. He teaches the latest therapies and technologies as an instructor in the Massage Therapy Program at College Boreal and as a professor of Anatomy and Kinesiology at Laurentian University. In addition to holding a graduate degree in Human Kinetics, Dr. Senechal holds a Doctor of Chiropractic degree from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College and Certificate in Acupuncture from the Acupuncture Council of Ontario. He says, “I’m always pursuing and enhancing my skills and professional knowledge to provide the best care for our patients.”
The culture of compassion at LIVEMAX starts at the top. Upon graduating with a Graduate Honours degree from the University of Windsor in 2011, Dr. Senechal put his career on pause to be a living donor to an ill family member battling cancer.
Multiple services under one roof
When LIVEMAX first opened in 2015 they provided chiropractic, osteopathy, and massage therapy services. Since then, the practice has expanded to include two additional physiotherapists, a kinesiologist, and a naturopath. An additional massage therapist will be joining the team later this year. Whether someone is seeking relief from chronic pain, recovering from an injury, or simply striving to optimize their health and wellness, LIVEMAX offers a welcoming and calming environment, flooded with sunlight, where individuals can access a wide range of holistic treatments under one roof.
The practitioners at LIVEMAX work collaboratively and spend time with their patients to support and optimize the body’s natural healing mechanisms. Dr. Senechal says, “We take our time to listen to the patient and to then treat them properly. Using modalities such as chiropractic adjustments, physiotherapy exercises, massage therapy techniques, and naturopathic interventions, our aim is to remove obstacles to healing and enhance overall well-being.”
LIVEMAX Health Group’s expansion and emphasis on holistic health aligns with the evolving preferences of patients and a broader cultural shift towards embracing the principles in holistic healthcare. Dr. Senechal and his team have responded to the growing demand by offering an array of services that are non-invasive and drug-free solutions to pain and injury. Dr. Senechal says, “There’s definitely a shift happening. I’m finding that individuals around 35 years of age and older are starting to take their health
more seriously. For example, those involved in “weekend warrior” activities may be noticing that their recovery from physical activity is slowing. There is an uptick in demand for our services and individuals are more willing to adopt rehab and exercise programs.”
As the demand for holistic healthcare continues to grow, LIVEMAX Health Group offers their patients a diverse range of services and exceptional knowledge that is helping them recover from pain and injury to live more enjoyable and vibrant lives with their friends and families.
