Our Philosophy

Healthcare Shouldn’t Feel Rushed

At Hands on Health Family Chiropractic, we’ve intentionally created a different kind of practice. One where appointments aren’t rushed. One where you’re known by name. One where your concerns are heard. One where care is personalized to you—not dictated by a corporate model, insurance company, or sales script.

After serving families for more than 23 years in Toronto, Dr. Stacey Farquhar and Dr. Matt Garofolo brought their experience, philosophy, and passion for proactive health to Franklin.Today, they help individuals and families improve how their bodies adapt to the physical, chemical, and emotional stresses of modern life through thoughtful chiropractic care and low-level laser therapy.

A Special Focus

Women's Health & Perimenopause Support

Many women arrive feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, achy, or simply "not themselves." Managing family, hormonal changes, stress, poor sleep, and the demands of modern life can place significant strain on the nervous system.

Dr. Stacey has a special interest in helping women navigate these transitions with greater ease through chiropractic care, lifestyle guidance, and practical strategies that support resilience and overall well-being. You don't have to figure it all out alone.

A Special Focus

More Than Pain Relief

Most people think chiropractic is about backs and necks. We think it's about helping people live better.

Your nervous system influences how you move, heal, recover, adapt, and function every day and your central nervous system happens to be mainly housed in your brain and spine! When your body can communicate and adapt more efficiently, you often experience benefits that extend far beyond the reason you initially sought care. That's why so many of our patients choose proactive chiropractic care as part of their long-term wellness strategy.
