Dr. Brandon Jones
Dr. Brandon Jones was born and raised in Sudbury. Growing up here, Brandon had a lot of success in hockey, playing AAA at every level. After high school, he played 1 year of Junior hockey in Waterloo, then decided it was time to pursue his education. Chiropractic care came into his life after seeing the success his mother had with treatments that she was receiving from Dr. Staffen. Chronic neck pain was affecting her overall wellbeing and everything else that she had tried prior to chiropractic did not help.
Seeing her get her quality of life back thanks to chiropractic eventually led to the rest of his family seeking care from Dr. Staffen. Whenever Brandon was dealing with hockey injuries or general soreness chiropractic always seemed to do the trick and kept him feeling his best.
After living in Waterloo for a year, he hung up his skates and made his way back to Sudbury where he would go on to complete a degree in paramedics at Collège Boréal. Feeling as though he wanted to do more in terms of education and after experiencing the continued benefits of regular chiropractic care throughout his paramedic schooling, he made the decision to pursue a career in chiropractic. He was able to complete his undergraduate degree in health promotion in 3 years at Laurentian University and was later accepted to the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto. After completing the 4-year program, he made his way back to his hometown where his chiropractic journey all started.
He is extremely excited to be joining Dr. Staffen and the entire healthcare team at New Sudbury Chiropractic and Wellness Centre. He looks forward to serving the people of Greater Sudbury. Brandon is anxious to offer all of his knowledge and expertise so that everyone can feel better, move better and achieve their optimal health goals. He firmly believes that health and wellness can be achieved through chiropractic care.

I was first introduced to the wonderful world of chiropractic care the day I began working for this office. Learning and experiencing all the positive benefits that it has to offer has made me wish I would have been informed sooner.
For six years now, I have seen first-hand how regular chiropractic care has been vital to keeping people in good health & improving well-being in myself, my children & husband. We are appreciating this new way of life and all the great health benefits it has to offer. And I’ve witnessed this in so many others too…from expectant moms & newborns to the elderly & all in between.
I carry with me the same high level of standards & integrity as well as many specialized skills from my previous career as a DSW/PSW to my new vocation as a chiropractic assistant. I am truly grateful & love being part of such a wonderful expert health team. I look forward to many years of assisting our current & future patients work towards & achieve their health goals.

I first found chiropractic care after a lifting injury in one of my careers. While it did help for quite a time I unfortunately did not continue. A number of years later I re-injured my spine & followed another chiropractic protocol but once again temporarily. Fast forward many years later, I came to New Sudbury Chiropractic & Wellness Centre very discouraged with the state of my health in disarray due to some traumatic physical & mental health experiences. Life had taken its toll & I hadn’t kept up with important self-care. Call it ‘lesson learned’ or 3rd time lucky… but this time, sticking to it…bit by bit I started to feel energy return, became hopeful, grateful & much more vibrant again. Finally realizing that dedicated, regular chiropractic care was part of the formula for feeling healthier.
I have now been receiving regular adjustments from Dr. Mike for a few years & am happy to have enjoyed a steady increase in the health & strength of my nervous system & therefore my body & mind. Of course I wished I hadn’t waited so long to realize that consistency was key & these regular chiro tune-ups in combination with doing my part help maintain my optimal health.
Now, coupling my passion for holistic health with a natural love of interacting with people on a purposeful basis, energizes & motivates me to be part of the quest to a balanced, healthy & whole life. I am honored to be part of such a dedicated, sincere & proficient health team in assisting others to reach their healthfulness, celebrate their victories of all kinds & continue this important mission.

Coming from a nursing background, I have always known about chiropractic care however I was nervous to “take the plunge.”
Man, if I knew then what I know now, I would have been here on day 1. For 2 years now, myself along with my husband and children have been receiving regular adjustments. The improvement in our overall health has been nothing short of incredible. My daughters are now able to read their own bodies and ask for an adjustment.
When you walk through the front door you can feel your energy shift. From the smell of the office because of the DoTERRA oils diffusing, to the welcoming smiles and voices of the front staff and even the unconditional love felt throughout, I felt home. I feel very fortunate and blessed to be able to walk through these doors to work every day.
When not at work, you can find me at the rink, in the gym powerlifting or catching a monster musky. Regular chiropractic care fits perfectly into my busy active lifestyle. It helps me balanced mentally, emotionally and physically. I look forward to continuing aiding in the wellness journey of the all walks of life that have decided to “take the plunge”.
