Discover Health Centre has new location
By Nina Van Lieshout
TIMES -ADVOCATE STAFF
EXETER — Dr. Jason
Bourne has opened a
new location for his chi-
ropractic business,
Discover Health Centre.
Bourne earned his
Doctor of Chiropractic
at the Palmer College of
Chiropractic in
Davenport, Iowa.
The business which
opened on Main Street
in Exeter recently is
Bourne's second loca-
tion.
The first is in London
which he works at three
days a week with his
wife Nancy Brooks who
is also a chiropractor.
He is in Exeter
Monday, Wednesday
and Friday.
Bourne was in Exeter
at a former location for
three years but moved
downtown and says he's
happy with the change.
"Yeah, I'm pleased,
it's a big location and
located in downtown
Exeter," says Bourne.
Another perk for
Bourne's clients is the
fact there are only a
couple of steps leading
into the business.
Bourne says that
makes it a lot easier for
everyone, especially
those in pain.
Bourne also has a lot
of parking for his clients
around his business
which he shares with
insurance claim
adjuster Peter Maurer.
An interesting feature
of Discover Health
Centre is a piece of
equipment called the
Pulstar, which is a
"computerized analysis
and adjustment instru-
ment," according to
Bourne.
Discover Health
Centre is the only chiro-
practic office in Ontario
to carry such an instru-
ment.
There are only five in
Canada and four of
them are in Quebec.
Bourne says it is used
all over the world and is
very popular in the U.S.
The Pulstar is gentler
on the patients than
some of the twisting and
turning, according to
Bourne.
"Problems that haven't
been fixed with tradi-
tional chiropractic
treatments have been
fixed with this," says
Bourne.
Discover Health
Centre offers 13 differ-
ent chiropractic tech-
niques and will soon
receive a motorized
massage chair which
will relax his patients
after appointments.

By Nina Van Lieshout
TIMES -ADVOCATE STAFF
LUCAN — Representatives for the
Lucan Crest Centre attended Lucan
Biddulph council Jan. 26 hoping for
a change to a zoning by-law.
A couple of individuals are inter-
ested in The Crest Centre services
but are limited to where they are
allowed to reside because of restric-
tions within the zoning by-law,
according to executive director of
The Crest Centre Davis Ragobar.
The Crest Centre is requesting a
couple of changes including;
• That the definition of "group
home" apply only to situations
where five or more unrelated indi-
viduals reside exclusive of staff;
• That group homes, as redefined,
are no longer included in the multi
ple use residential (MUR) zone;
• That the restrictions identified
under MUR zoning be repealed in
their application to the redefined
group home.
