Dr. Gerald Tole
Chiropractor

Dr. Gerald Tole has over 30 years of experience in chiropractic care, working with people from South Winnipeg almost his entire life. He proudly calls St. Vital home, attending Minnetonka school in his early years and graduating high school from Dakota Collegiate. After two years of pre-med at the University of Winnipeg, Dr. Tole completed his degree at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto. It was shortly after joining a practice in Regina, Saskatchewan, he realized he wanted to return to his roots and serve the community he loved. He ventured back to St. Vital in Winnipeg in 1990 and opened Southdale Chiropractic. In 2010, a new location with modern design has opened on St. Anne’s Road, now known as Creating Health. As the founder of Creating Health, Dr. Tole operated the clinic as a Chiropractic Clinic until approximately 2021 when he evolved the clinic to better represent the services and intention of the facility. Today, Creating Health is a whole health centre with practitioners offering a variety of services. See About Us for full details.

Chiropractic Care Philosophy

Dr. Tole has observed that most of his patients start their journey of chiropractic care looking for pain relief. Once their initial pain eases, they often start to notice their general health, mobility, bodily functions, and mental alertness improve and are positive side benefits of care. Success to Dr. Tole is when patients decide that chiropractic is not just occasional and necessary pain relief, but one of their positive lifestyle habits where they visit on an ongoing basis to help them enjoy an active lifestyle every day.

Areas of practice

Dr. Tole practices what would be considered traditional chiropractic care for patients of all ages. His techniques and experience help people through pain and restricted movements which he refers to as corrective care. Dr. Tole also has many patients who find chiropractic care supports better day-to-day comfort and functions, which is often referred to as maintenance care by his patients. A large number of his patients prefer hands on chiropractic care, but he offers flexibility as a number of patients prefer the use of “tool” adjusting, which is a very gentle spring assisted adjusting device that he will always keep available for patient care. The digital x-ray facilities available right in the office provide key details for his practice and are used to x-ray spines as required for patients.

Outside life

Outside of work Dr. Tole enjoys spending quality time with his wife and their furry friends. He also has a green thumb - You know the old saying, the grass is always greener on the other side, well, that’s a fact when it comes to his yard. Gerald takes pride in his lush, green yard and enjoys giving it the care and attention required to make that happen.

When it comes to physical health care Dr. Tole practices what he preaches. He calls himself a “groupie” of his wife’s spin classes and attends almost all of the classes she teaches. Working out at home and going for frequent walks with the pups are regular activities as he knows the benefits of staying active and also knows it’s necessary for him to be physically fit to do his job effectively.

Dr. Tole is a huge supporter of the local community and date night usually involves choosing a local Winnipeg restaurant to enjoy some down time.
