Meet Nicole.
Chiropractor and Acupuncture
Dr. Nicole Ballantyne
Nicole is a chiropractor and the owner of Summerhill Health Centre. Her approach to care is rehabilitation-focused, combining hands-on treatment, acupuncture, soft tissue therapy and targeted exercise to help patients recover from injury, manage pain and return to the activities they enjoy.
Nicole studied Kinesiology at the University of Waterloo before graduating Magna Cum Laude from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in 2019. She also completed additional training in Medical Acupuncture through McMaster University.
With a background rooted in high-performance sport, Nicole has extensive experience working with athletes and active individuals, from youth and recreational athletes to competitive hockey players. She has worked as a team doctor for GTHL AAA hockey and currently coaches with the Toronto Leaside Girls Hockey Association. Her experience in sport has shaped her belief that effective rehabilitation should focus not only on reducing pain, but on restoring strength, movement and confidence.
At Summerhill, Nicole works collaboratively with patients to understand the factors contributing to their symptoms and develop individualized plans that support both recovery and long-term function.
As the next generation of leadership at Summerhill Health Centre, Nicole is committed to building on the clinic’s long-standing reputation for personalized care while continuing to evolve its multidisciplinary, rehabilitation-focused approach.
