When Dr. Sachedina is not in the clinic, you can find him exercising, playing basketball, volleyball or hockey, or travelling with his wife and two daughters.

Dr. Sachedina believes anyone with chronic pain can benefit from chiropractic treatments. Based on in-depth consultations, he recommends tailored treatments that target and heal your joints and muscles. He also recommends exercises and other steps you can take to accelerate your recovery. His dedication is evident through follow-ups that ensure your pain relief is long-lasting and help you prevent injuries from reoccurring.
