Dr . Ryan i s a chi ropractor and acupuncture provider who holds a Doctor of Chiropractic degree from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic Col lege having graduated cum laude in 2017. He completed his certification in Contemporary Medical Chiropractor: Corktown & Downtown

Acupuncture from McMaster University in 2016. Ryan also holds an Honors Bachelor degree from McMaster University in Biology with a minor in Psychology. In between post- secondary degrees, Ryan spent three years working at the University Health Network’s intensive care units facilitating research in critical care medicine. In this time, he had an opportunity to observe and appreciate the incredible efforts of the inter-professional health care system. After a positive experience with a local clinician, Ryan realized chiropractic was the perfect fit for him. It encompassed his admiration for the intricacies of the human body, his love for educating others on health and well being as well as his desire to help others and create a positive impact in their lives. Ryan’s goals in practice are two-fold: The first is to help others achieve a greater state of health and admiration for their bodies than they are currently experiencing. The second is to educate and promote on the concept of proactivity, in other words, making positive or necessary changes before crisis strikes. Ryan is a strong advocate for anything that gets people active and out of their sedentary lifestyles. In his spare time, he enjoys resistance training, boxing, playing volleyball, skiing (snow & water) and any activity outdoors.
