Chiropractor
Dr. Duncan blends evidence-based chiropractic with acupuncture, cupping, soft-tissue therapy and gentle, adjustment-free options — so care fits your goals, comfort level and lifestyle. With extended, unrushed appointments, she takes the time to understand the person behind the symptoms and treats both acute and chronic pain in a single visit.
Your care should be as unique as you are — personalized, unrushed, and tailored to what works best for you.
Her story
I chose chiropractic care because I wanted to work in a profession where I could build meaningful relationships with people while helping them move, feel and function better. What has always appealed to me about healthcare is that every person is different — there isn’t one treatment or approach that works for everyone. That belief has shaped the way I practise today, with a focus on personalized, evidence-based care that considers each patient’s goals, lifestyle, comfort level and individual needs.
Throughout my education and clinical experience, I’ve developed an interest in treating both acute and chronic pain and in having a variety of tools available to help patients get the care that is right for them. Alongside chiropractic adjustments, I incorporate techniques such as acupuncture, cupping and instrument-assisted soft-tissue therapy, while also offering gentler, adjustment-free approaches when that is what a patient prefers.
One of the most important things I’ve learned as a practitioner is the value of taking the time to listen. I want my patients to feel they have space to ask questions, understand their options and be an active part of their care — so I prioritize extended, unrushed appointments and comprehensive care within each visit. Ultimately, my goal is a comfortable environment where patients feel heard, supported and confident in the care they receive.

Dr. Duncan has been fantastic in bringing me back from a debilitating neck injury. With limited motion and great pain within 6 weeks she has provided the runway for me to get back to close to 100% recovery. Her demeanour is fantastic and her service second to none. I continue to work with her in recovery and recommend anyone to seek out her services.
I have to share my amazing experience with my friend Dr. Samantha Duncan! I had been experiencing really bad sciatica nerve pain for almost 4 months. I had seen my regular chiro 8-9 times, went for massage, acupuncture and physio, X-ray, ultrasound and MORE with no relief. I went and saw Samantha for a treatment and within 24 hours I already felt better than I had in 4 months. I encourage ANYONE looking for an amazing chiropractor who listens to you and cares for you to call Samantha!
I’ve been seeing Dr. Samantha Duncan for years, and I can honestly say I would follow her anywhere! She not only provides high quality care but also takes the time to explain why issues are happening, which helps me feel informed and at ease. Dr. Duncan has worked wonders with both acupuncture and adjustments — by the end of my appointments, my bad shoulder somehow always feels better than my good shoulder! She never rushes and always gives her full attention to ensure the best care possible. If you’re looking for a chiropractor who combines expertise, compassion, and a patient-centered approach, Dr. Duncan is the one. Highly recommend!
Dr. Samantha Duncan is awesome and I highly recommend her! Her approach is attentive and most of all effective. I came to her with a long-term ankle/foot issue from playing sports and she listened carefully to offer personalized treatment. Within the initial sessions over a few weeks, I’m already feeling a lot more balanced — I can put all my weight on that side and it feels strong for the first time in a long time. In addition to being amazing at what she does, she’s a kind person and it really shines through in the way she treats her patients. The staff at Align at both the Sharon and Newmarket locations were also all very lovely and helpful. Great experience overall at Align!

I’ve been coming to the Sharon location for a few months now and I’m so happy I did. A great atmosphere, ample parking and great staff really make it an enjoyable experience. Dr. Samantha Duncan is exceptional. I started seeing her at the Newmarket location and followed her up to Sharon. She is able to adjust me so easily. I have a “rough on the body” job and she helps keep me going. So happy to have found her.
