Dr. Aghigh

General Chiropractic

Richmond Hill, ON

Dr. Ida Aghigh, DC is a chiropractor and co-founder at Movability Wellness & Sport Sciences in Richmond Hill, Ontario, known for meticulous assessment and a root-cause approach to pain and performance. Patients often seek her out when their symptoms feel “layered,” when pain keeps returning, or when they want answers that actually connect the dots, not just a quick reset. A core focus of Dr. Ida’s practice is nerve entrapment and the mechanical patterns that keep nerves irritated. Many chronic pain presentations are not simply “tight muscles,” they are a system problem involving fascia, joint mechanics, posture, and how the body loads through daily life. Dr. Ida is especially effective with stubborn neck and shoulder pain, headaches, and upper-body tension patterns that are often driven by a mix of alignment, movement strategy, and nervous system sensitivity. Her care is precise and structured, but never one-dimensional. Dr. Ida blends hands-on treatment with movement-based progression, so changes hold outside the treatment room. She is known for accurate diagnosis skills and clear explanations, helping patients understand not only what is happening, but why it is happening, and what will move the needle first. The goal is simple: reduce irritation, restore capacity, then build resilience so the body stops cycling back into the same pain loop. Dr. Ida also has a strong focus on women’s health and pregnancy-related care. She supports pre- and post-natal patients with thoughtful, evidence-informed treatment that respects each stage of pregnancy and postpartum recovery. Her approach often considers breathing mechanics, core and pelvic alignment, load management, and the real demands of parenting, not just symptoms on a checklist. Patients appreciate that her care is both deeply technical and genuinely supportive. For those dealing with foot and lower-limb pain, Dr. Ida is frequently sought out for plantar fasciitis and related biomechanics. She looks beyond the foot itself, assessing how posture, hip control, gait strategy, and tissue capacity contribute to symptoms, then builds a plan that improves mechanics and reduces overload, not just short-term soreness. At Movability, Dr. Ida is also central to the clinic’s complex pain work, including the nerve entrapment systems and hands-on nerve release strategies that underpin many of the clinic’s toughest recoveries. She collaborates closely with the Movability team to ensure patients are not being treated in fragments, but guided through a cohesive plan that matches both their nervous system and their goals. Common focus areas include: Nerve entrapment patterns and persistent nerve-related pain Neck and shoulder pain, postural strain, alignment, and movement strategy Headaches and tension patterns Pre- and post-natal care, postpartum recovery, and return to exercise Plantar fasciitis and foot pain linked to gait and whole-body mechanics.
