Dr. Taron Carruthers DC, CAC, Med. Acu

​Dr. Taron is the owner/founder of Stillwater Animal Chiropractic (Muskoka, 2014) and co-founder/owner of The Dog Joint (Toronto, 2018).

She grew up in Muskoka, Ontario at a popular family-owned resort on Lake Rosseau (Clevelands House). She spent the majority of her childhood playing sports, competing in various equestrian events and helping out at the barn. 

She began her studies in London at The University of Western Ontario, where she earned an Honours Specialization Degree in Kinesiology in 2009.  Dr. Taron then started her chiropractic career at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College & graduated Magna Cum Laude with Clinic Honours in 2014. In 2022, Dr. Taron graduated from the McMaster University Neurofunctional Acupuncture program. 

Dr. Taron has completed over 220 hours of study in Animal Chiropractic and graduated from the Veterinary Chiropractic Learning Centre in 2014. Since then, she has completed continuing education seminars in Advanced Canine Chiropractic Techniques (2017) as well as certification in equine/canine Kinesiology Taping (2017). 

Her extensive equestrian background and experience providing sideline treatments at canine agility trials over the years have given her a keen eye for gait analysis and lameness. She has a special interest in assessing and treating unresolved lameness issues in horses and dogs, helping senior horses/dogs age gracefully and maintain mobility, as well as complex equine/canine neurological cases. 

When not treating patients Dr. Taron can be found hiking/running with her Australian Shepherd "Briggs", exercising with her friends at the gym, riding her horse "Weldon", or out on the golf course with her husband, Matt.
