Doctor of Chiropractics
Robert obtained his Doctorate of Chiropractic in 2013 at New York Chiropractic College. Prior to this, he completed a Bachelor of Arts Honors Specialization in Kinesiology from the University of Western Ontario. Robert has completed numerous courses including, but not limited to; Kinesiotaping, Graston, chronic pain management, custom orthotics and gait analysis.
Robert uses evidence-based treatment protocols with his patients to achieve the best possible results. He treats both acute and chronic conditions of the spine and extremities with a combination of spinal manipulation, soft-tissue release, and home exercise plans. Robert believes in empowering his patients with the skills and knowledge needed to prevent their pain from returning in the future.
As a former competitive athlete in hockey and baseball, Robert has a strong understanding of biomechanics and how they relate to sport-specific injuries and their rehab. His practice is not limited to athletes; he invites the whole family to come and receive chiropractic care to optimize their health.
When away from the clinic, Robert enjoys exercise, recreational sports, and spending time with friends and his young family.
