OUR PHILOSOPHY

Our Story

Personalized, Scientific, Innovative Care

Pain and discomfort are not natural states of the human body. They’re expressions of dysfunction and signal that something is wrong. Chronic and sporadic pain isn’t just part of getting older or something you have to resign yourself to. Chiropractors use techniques and adjustments that can relieve or eliminate your pain.

Get back to a natural state of feeling strong and healthy at White Oaks Chiropractic.

Exciting news! As we embark on our next chapter, our practice will be changing its name on May 3rd to White Oaks Chiropractic.

The new name is a nod to the symbolism of the mighty oak, to the nostalgia of Dr. Bako’s childhood neighbourhood, and to the beautiful Town of Oakville in which we reside.

This evolution marks a new beginning while honouring the incredible legacy Dr. Shaw built over 30 years of dedicated chiropractic care right here in Oakville up to his retirement in 2020.

Rest assured, while our name will be new, our commitment to providing you with the same exceptional care and support you’ve come to expect remains unwavering.

We’re excited for what the future holds and look forward to continuing to serve our wonderful community under our new name!

Ever wonder why we take x-rays at the chiropractor’s office? 🤔 It’s not just for fun!

X-rays help us:
🔍Visualize your spine: See the alignment of your vertebrae and identify any structural issues.
✍🏼 Rule out pathologies: Detect fractures, arthritis, or other underlying conditions
🩻Create a personalized treatment plan: Tailor adjustments to YOUR specific needs📆 Track your progress: We can monitor changes in your spine over time

Basically, X-rays give us a clear picture of what’s happening beneath the surface, so we can provide the best possible care! 🦴#xrays #chiropractor #spinehealth #wellness

Chiropractic care is about more than just relieving symptoms- it’s about restoring balance and function to your body. When your spine is aligned, your nervous system can work more efficiently, allowing your body to regulate itself naturally.

A properly regulated body can:
✨Boost Energy✨ Improve Mood ✨Reduce Discomfort ✨Strengthen Immunity✨

It’s not about 🩹masking🩹 symptoms; it’s giving the body the ability to heal and thrive.

When your body functions at its best, it has the power to maintain its own health and wellness- naturally!

Chiropractic care helps bring your body back into balance, so you can feel better, move better, and live better.

It’s with heavy hearts that we must share that Bachaesh passed away unexpectedly this morning at the age of 12.
Our beloved, sweet boy was a fighter. In the last few years he underwent surgery for a torn ACL, fractured tooth, eye abscess and was most recently diagnosed with suspected hypothyroidism and early stages of congestive heart failure. This morning at roughly 2:30 Bachaesh collapsed and was rushed to an emergency vet where they did their best to save him. The attending Vet believes he may have had cancer or some undiagnosed tumour which may have burst, causing blood to fill around his heart.

Through all of his hardships Bachaesh continued to bring joy and happiness into our lives, and into those of our patients who would excitedly come to visit him at our office. He taught us that dogs are more than pets, and showed us how to love on a deeper level.

Bachaesh came into Emily’s life at only 8 weeks old. He was the star of a dog blog Emily created in University that reviewed natural pet treats and he was a model for several pet product ads, including social media posts during our time working in Pet Insurance.
Always weary of new people, upon meeting Steve for the first time he gladly let him pick him up. They were the best of buddies and enjoyed lounging in the sunny spot of the window together, and being outside.
He was, and always will be, our special boy, and will be unbelievably missed.

Meet Dr. Steve Bako, or “Dr. Steve,” as he prefers.
Born and raised in Mississauga, Dr. Steve’s talent and love of sports brought him to the USA on baseball and academic scholarships. It was there, after suffering injuries of his own, that he found chiropractic and learned the benefits for himself. It was this intervention that changed the course of Dr. Steve’s career path, and led him to pursue studies in chiropractic.
Having worked in several high-capacity practices in both the USA and Mississauga, ON., Dr. Steve finally found the perfect fit right here in Oakville, taking on the 30+ year legacy of Shaw Chiropractic Family Wellness when Dr. Greg Shaw retired in 2020.

We are deeply honoured and thankful for the support of our patients and community members for voting our clinic #1 in Oakville for the second year in a row.

Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your wellness journey. We remain committed to helping you achieve optimal health and look forward to continuing to serve this wonderful community. Your ongoing support inspires us to keep improving and to maintain the high standards that led to this accolade.

With heartfelt appreciation,
Dr. Steve & the Shaw Chiropractic Team

Warning: Excessive baby cuteness! May cause Baby Fever 😍 This little man’s no stranger to chiropractic- he’s been getting adjusted since before he was born!

Our bodies are meant to be healthy and our nervous system controls that health - it connects everything that goes on in our body and allows us to experience the world. Symptoms are a message from the wisdom of our body; they are not typically a message that we lack a medication, but rather that something needs to change.

Chiropractic care in our practice is about more than just keeping your spine and nervous system functioning optimally – it encompasses all aspects of healthy living to ensure complete wellness.

If our philosophy of care sounds interesting to you, please get in touch. We are always accepting new patients and would love to meet with you to road-map your path to improved health and wellness.

✅To take advantage of our introductory offer to save $50 on a New Patient Exam (Regularly $220) just reference this post when booking your appointment.

how chiropractic has helped them/ or what they are thankful for.

As a small token of our appreciation for our wonderful patients we also drew one of the participants names to win a prize. See who the winner is at the end of the video!

🦃Wishing all our patients and their families a happy and healthy Thanksgiving weekend! 🍂

Chiropractors don’t treat symptoms. We go straight for the cause.

If you’ve tried everything else and it hasn’t worked, it’s time to come see us!

Our new patient exam is very thorough and allows us to go over your health history, perform an exam, take X-rays and adjust you. We’ll provide you with a report detailing your problem areas and a customized care plan.

If you’re ready to take the first step to a healthier, happier future we’re only a call away.

Get some 🍂re-LEAF 🍁 this fall with chiropractic care.

As the new school year approaches, it’s easy to lose sight of your body’s needs during this transition. With long hours of sitting (often in front of computers) and carrying heavy textbooks, the body is bound to feel the strain.

To help your (or your child’s) body adjust to these changes, schedule a back-to-school adjustment with us.

Please note our office will be closed from September 1st-5th, and 7th-8th so book your appointment early!

You may be many things to many people, but you can’t pour from an empty cup. Remember to take time (make time) for your health and well-being!

Big or small, we adjust them all!

Some parents worry that we won’t be able to adjust their child if they won’t lie still on an adjusting table, but don’t worry— we have lots of tricks up our sleeves for a smooth (and enjoyable!) adjustment.

This is one doctor’s office your child will love coming to!

Why is chiropractic care important for children?

Before the end of a child’s second year of life, their neural development is at its highest.

The neuroplasticity of a child’s nervous system remains highly influenceable until age 16, whereby early experiences have enormous impact on lifelong health, behaviour and learning.

Ensuring your child’s nervous system is free from interference during this early stage of development enhances appropriate synaptic pathway development and optimizes potential health and the body’s ability to adapt to stress.

A giant thank you to our wonderful patients for their continuous love and support. You are the reason we do what we do— helping you and your loved ones reach their wellness goals is the ultimate reward and we are so grateful for each and every one of you! 🥳

X-rays are an important tool used to pinpoint areas of concern in the body.

In addition to a thorough sit-down conversation and assessment with Dr. Bako, we take take x-rays onsite as part of our new patient examinations.

When it comes to creating a care plan tailored to you and your unique needs, we use multiple methods to ensure a comprehensive and in-depth assessment of your spinal health.

We’re lucky to have several nurses as chiropractic patients. Nurses have a demanding career— long work hours spent on their feet, always moving, with lots of stress.

One way our nursing patients take care of themselves is by making regular adjustments a part of their wellness lifestyle.

One adjustment a week can make all the difference in how well they’re able to function in the high pressure hospital environment. When nurses feel their best they’re more focused, resilient and have more energy. And this allows them to be able to give the best care to their patients.

Know a hardworking nurse who could benefit from chiropractic care? Have them give us a call and our team would be happy to answer any questions they may have.

Don’t let back pain get in the way of making special memories. Whatever your reason-Chiropractic care can help.

Spring is a great time to focus on cleaning not just your home, but also a time to clear your body and soul of anything that no longer serves you or helps to move you towards your goals of health and wellness.

Yesterday, March 20th, marks the first day of spring, and with the change of season come some opportunities to improve your overall health and wellness:

Physical activity: With warmer weather and longer days, spring is a perfect time to increase your physical activity. Exercise has numerous health benefits including improved cardiovascular health, weight management, and reduced stress.

Fresh produce: Spring brings an abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables, which are packed with nutrients and antioxidants that can boost your immune system and help ward off disease.

Sunshine: Exposure to sunlight boosts vitamin D levels, which can help improve bone health, reduce inflammation, and lower the risk of certain diseases.

Mental health: Spring is a time of renewal and rejuvenation. Taking the time to declutter your home, practice mindfulness, or simply spend time outdoors can improve your mental health and reduce stress.

Overall, spring is a great time to focus on healthy habits that can benefit both your body and soul.

One of the best ways to stay motivated with self-care is to create a plan and set achievable goals. Identify the areas of self-care that are the most important to you and find ways to incorporate them into your daily routine.

For example, if you want to focus more on nutrition, plan out your meals for the week, shop for healthy ingredients, and set aside time each day to prepare your meals. Additionally, don’t forget to build in some time for activities that bring you joy and relaxation, such as reading a book, getting adjusted, or going for a walk.

Taking care of yourself is important and can make a big difference in your overall wellbeing.
