Dr. Mariam Ashraf was drawn to the field of healing from a young age. After completing her Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology at the University of Alberta, she found her passion in chiropractic due to the ability to help the body heal and recover with a minimally invasive approach. She continued her studies in Toronto, completing her four year Doctor of Chiropractic degree at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in 2006. Upon graduating, Dr. Ashraf returned to Edmonton and practiced there for 13 years until she recently moved to back to Ontario with her husband to make a home here in downtown Toronto.

Dr. Ashraf applies an evidence-supported approach to her practice and customizes each patient’s treatment plan according to their individual needs. She utilizes a diverse range of techniques and a multi-disciplinary style of practice and has had extensive experience working closely with many health practitioners including medical doctors, dentists (for jaw issues), physiotherapists, and massage therapists.

Dr. Ashraf also has additional training in treating temporomandibular dysfunction (TMJD/TMD) and associated craniofacial pain, including headaches. She has been working with TMD patients for over 10 years. She also has been Full Body Certified in Active Release Technique® for many years and applies this effective soft tissue release technique to most patients that she treats, in combination with manipulations to restricted joints, and at-home advice such as exercises and stretches.
