I was born and raised in Edmonton and have had some great mentors growing up in this fine city. This led me to wanting to give back and in turn mentor others to help them achieve their goals. My passion towards helping others enables me and them to enjoy a better quality of life. Thanks to my frequent injuries whether chronic in nature or acute, I’ve learned to listen to the human body ‘s cry for help. I figured, if it worked for me then I want it to work for others. I perused a career in alternative health and graduated as a doctor of chiropractic from Palmer College of Chiropractic West in 2005. I’ve trained and certified in various therapies such as Active Release Technique, Garston, myofascial taping.
Sharing my personal health challenges with my patients is part of my treatment plan. Assembling a team of like-minded practitioners was key to our wellness mission. I’m truly blessed to work in this healthy environment with caring staff, therapists and doctors. No one therapy or recipe can cure all aliments.
I prefer a multidisciplinary approach to patient’s health to ensure nothing is missed in the diagnosis and treatment. Spinal manipulation, Soft tissue therapy (Active release technique), exercise, proper nutrition and patient education are all equally important. I’m happy to announce that i know can serve my patients with advanced testing for conditions stemming from low grade chronic inflammation. The Dutch hormone test, GI map, hair and mineral analysis and food sensitivity tests have all been useful tools in addressing the root cause of systemic inflammation. feel free to visit www.thrival.ca for more information.
When I’m not tending to my patient, I’m enjoying quality time with my wife and our five children. We strive to nourish them mentally as well as physically to be able to enjoy the simple things life has to abundantly offer.
