I am a duly qualified chiropractic practitioner for 46+ years, registered to practice in the Province of Ontario, Canada with reciprocity status in Florida and California, USA. I graduated as a Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) in 1976 from the prestigious Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto, Ontario. I am also certified as a Chiropractic Rehabilitation Doctor specialist and am working towards 'Level 3' designation.
I have been active in private practice with special emphasis placed upon the assessment and active rehabilitation of: the nervous system, muscles, skeleton (spine and joints) referred to as 'NMSK' ((neuro-musculoskeletal) injuries as they relate to motor vehicle accidents (head-on, rear-end and T-bone collision impacts), slip/trip and fall, sport, personal and work related injuries for both adults and children. I have also appeared as an 'Expert Witness' in numerous court proceedings, for both plaintiff and defendant, with respect to auto accident injuries and slip/fall incidents.
I have sat on various professional committees and appeared on radio, television and written numerous articles relating to my profession. I also lecture and conduct workshops on various topics with respect to Chiropractic issues, health and wellness throughout the Greater Toronto Area and surrounding communities. On a professional, chiropractic community level, I have been awarded the Ontario Chiropractic Association's 2003 'Community Volunteer of the Year Award'.
