About Dr. John Varga DC
Chiropractor
Growing up in Hamilton, I have been a trusted chiropractor in the area for over 20 years. Bringing this experience to Hudson Integrative Healthcare, I offer prenatal natural care, post natal natural care, and chiropractic care for professional athletes and everyone in between! As a friendly and outgoing professional, I dedicate the time and care to help you understand the nature and source of your pain. With a focus on nutrition, injuries, prevention, and rehabilitation, I provide various techniques for ongoing wellness. In fact, my first patient ever is still a regular maintenance patient at the clinic!
Outside of chiropractic care, family time is extremely important to me. I love spending time at the cottage, travelling, dirt bike racing, and whipping up the latest culinary speciality. While chiropractic care is my passion, when I’m not working or spending time with loved ones, I am actively involved in the community as a minor hockey official.

Qualifications & Services
Qualifications
Despite having a pharmaceutical chemistry degree, Dr Varga always wanted to be a chiropractor. In 1998, he graduated from the New York Chiropractic College and won the Clinic Award for excellence demonstrated in areas of diagnosis and patient care, an early indicator of the kind of treatment he would come to provide. In 1999, he set up his first clinic in Hamilton and expanded to Stoney Creek in 2008.
Services
First, Dr Varga will meet with you for an initial assessment and diagnosis of your pain related to the back, joints, headaches, aching muscles, wrists, or knees. There are many ways in which to treat, so Dr Varga will review your treatment plan with you to address your specific needs.
Generally, treatment will include spinal or manual therapy which combines spinal movement, massage, exercise, and physical therapy or laser and ultrasound. These treatments are designed to relieve pressure, reduce inflammation, improve your nerve function, relax trigger points for pain relief, and ongoing wellness.
