Our lead Chiropractor, Dr. Christopher de Vries, graduated from the New Zealand College of Chiropractic. While in New Zealand,  two of his four children were born and he learned both modern and classic chiropractic techniques from the hands of the country's renowned experts. He  was part of the Research team and head of the Philosophy Club at the College, and he learned to value the holistic approach to health that chiropractic espouses.
 

But Dr. Chris hasn’t always been a Chiropractor. For many years he was a trades worker, laboring for several companies both in Alberta and New Zealand. Because of this background, he has a special interest in helping people who have chronic musculoskeletal problems specific to their work environment. As a student, he also gained perspective on the conditions that can plague office workers.  He knows on a personal level how difficult it can be to prioritize your health, especially when the environments you find yourself in for so much of the time can actively cause pain or discomfort.  He has become passionate about improving the quality of life of individuals who have struggled to find a work-life balance that includes health and wellness.
