DR. STEVE BAKO
NEUROSTRUCTURAL CHIROPRACTOR

DR. BAKO
Dr. Steve Bako, D.C., is a highly-rated Neurostructural Chiropractor serving the Oakville, Ontario community with a specialized focus on family and newborn wellness.
​
Dr. Bako's practice integrates the Tonal Neurostructural Chiropractic approach, which addresses the root causes of abnormal tension and tone in the nervous system and spinal cord. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, he employs precise, low-force techniques to optimize the spine and nervous system for lasting function and improved wellness. Dr. Bako believes in supporting whole-body health, always considering lifestyle, nutrition, and emotional well-being as key factors in his patients' care.
​
His expertise includes advanced certification and proficiency in various techniques, including Torque Release (TRT), Webster Technique (specialized for pregnancy), Toggle Recoil, and Thompson. As an active member of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), Dr. Bako has a deep passion for caring for families, newborns, and pregnant mothers, skills he refined while working in high-volume practices in Florida and Mississauga.
​
Before his career in chiropractic, Dr. Bako earned his chiropractic degree from Life University in Atlanta, Georgia. His transition to this field was inspired by the healing power of chiropractic he experienced as a competitive athlete, including his time as a collegiate baseball pitcher and a member of the Ontario Blue Jays.
​
When they're not working, he and his wife, Emily, enjoy travelling, exploring the local culinary scene and cheering on Toronto's sports teams.

EMILY
Emily manages the day-to-day operations of White Oaks Chiropractic and supports patients with her unique background in holistic wellness.
Emily grew up in a small town north of Waterloo, and spending her summers exploring the woods around her family’s rustic cottage. Surrounded by farmland and forests, she developed a deep, lifelong love and appreciation for nature and wildlife.
​
Drawing on her professional experience in training and development within the corporate sector, and her early entrepreneurial work in the marketing and pet health industries, Emily ensures the smooth, efficient operation of the family practice in Oakville.
​
Her journey into natural health and wellness was deeply personal: after suffering from chronic migraines for many years, she became virtually migraine-free through regular Neurostructural Chiropractic care. This firsthand experience fuels her commitment to helping other families achieve similar results.
​
Emily is an herbalist and a certified Reiki practitioner, reflecting her deep, lifelong passion for nature and holistic well-being. This specialized knowledge allows her to approach patient care and practice flow with a broader understanding of overall health.
​
​When not managing the clinic and her own small business, Emily enjoys cooking, crafting, and gardening in the Oakville area.

Wellness is the complete integration of body, mind and spirit- the realization that everything we do, think, feel and believe affects our state of well-being.
In Memory of BACHAESH
Bachaesh (meaning Buddy/Son) was Dr. Steve and Emily's beloved Yorkshire Terrier mix. He loved spending time outdoors and never passed up an opportunity to go kayaking, chase the squirrels and chipmunks, or go for a leisurely stroll to the park.
He spent several years accompanying Emily to her pet insurance job, pet industry events, and he was even featured in the Dogs of Oakville publication.
After having ACL surgery in 2023, Bachaesh learned the benefits of chiropractic care for himself. He attended regular chiropractic appointments with a certified DVM and animal chiropractor which helped his mobility and comfort immensely. Bachaesh was a regular attendee at our office. When he wasn't saying hi to our patients he could be found snoozing behind the front desk or in his favourite sunny spot on the floor. He passed away unexpectedly in October 2024 after a battle with mitral valve disease and hypothyroidism.
We miss him so much, but we are thankful for all the lessons and wisdom he shared with us, and for the beautifully rich memories and love that he gifted us every day.
