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. Schutt is a mom of two, who values the importance of keeping our kids healthy and teaching them about wellness at a young age. She is extremely passionate about protecting the next generation of kids from all of the illnesses we see today and working with families on preventing dis-ease. This starts with preconception care, through pregnancy and providing a foundation for kids to thrive with pediatric care and beyond.
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, Webster, 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.
