Dr. Sarah Cohen

Background and Treatment Approach

I was born and raised in Ottawa’s west end and earned my Bachelor of Science in Human Kinetics from the University of Ottawa. I later completed my Doctorate of Chiropractic at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto.

With over 17 years of experience as a chiropractor and more than 25 years in the health and fitness community, I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide range of individuals—from those managing chronic pain and sedentary lifestyles to high-performance athletes. These diverse experiences have helped me refine my approach to care, with a strong focus on manual, athletic, and rehabilitative therapy.

As your chiropractor, my goal is not only to help relieve your pain but also to support and empower you in improving your overall physical health and quality of life. Depending on your individual needs, treatment may include chiropractic adjustments for the spine and extremities, personalized exercise programs, acupuncture and dry needling, therapeutic modalities, taping, and soft tissue techniques such as myofascial release.
