Dr. Vanessa Salerno, the founder of Rise, grew up in Etobicoke and was very involved in sports throughout her life. Chiropractic care was introduced to her after many injuries and this is where the passion for her profession was born. She completed her undergraduate degree at Kent State University on a soccer scholarship and continued her educational endeavours at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College, graduating with Magna Cum Laude honours.

Dr. Vanessa practices diversified manual techniques, soft tissue therapy and contemporary medical acupuncture. She also is certified in the Webster technique for pregnancy care and has experience treating newborns and the paediatric population. One of the biggest parts of her care is educating and empowering her patients to build healthy and positive habits for long lasting wellness. She works to get patients out of pain due to chronic or acute strain and injuries, relieves the physical strain from stress and will strive to maintain your health status with maintenance care visits.

Being on a sports team her whole life, she understood the power of teammates offering different skills to reach a common goal. The idea of different practitioners working together to help patients reach and maintain their health goals is where the idea of Rise began.

Let us guide you to Rise Up to the challenges of life and live your life to the fullest!
