“I had debilitating lower back pain, difficult to get out of bed or out of a chair or couch. Dr. Lusk gave thorough exam and asked many questions and provided treatment hands- on therapy and I am now pain feee.”
About Robert
- Doctor of Chiropractic (DC)
- Rapid Access Clinic (RAC) - Low Back Pain - Advanced Practice Provider (APP)
Dr. Lusk completed his undergraduate health sciences degree at the University of Western Ontario before pursuing further study at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College, completing the four year program in 2006.
Dr. Lusk has experience and enjoys treating a wide range of clientele with muscle and/or joint conditions. This includes individuals with symptoms from everyday tasks, postural strain, sports and workplace injuries, along with car accident injuries. In addition, if you are not in pain but are looking to move better and start an exercise routine, he can provide you with guidance to avoid injury as you get started.
Dr. Lusk takes an evidence-informed approach to the diagnosis and management of injuries and pain. He has completed post graduate education in the McKenzie Method of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT) Part A: The Lumbar Spine and Part B: The Cervical & Thoracic Spine. He is certified in the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) and the Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA). He has completed the Detailed Back Assessment portion of the McGill Method and the Spinemobility Boot Camp Program for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis. Additionally, he completed the The Orthotic Group’s (TOG) Custom Orthotic Therapy and Gait Analysis courses.
Dr. Lusk provides much education to help clients understand and self manage their complaints. His treatment style is largely manual, involving many soft tissue therapies (including myofascial release, instrument assisted soft tissue release, trigger points), as well as joint mobilization and manipulation. Progressive stretches and exercises, electro-therapeutic modalities, and custom orthotics are also used when indicated.
Dr. Lusk has also worked with local minor hockey players, as well as university athletes, employing functional exercise to improve athletic performance. He is currently the team chiropractor for the Waterloo Siskins Jr. B Hockey Club. Dr. Lusk has a diverse athletic background and is passionate about active living.
