Meet Kanata Chiropractor Dr. Pierre Paradis

Looking back, it’s amazing to see how the chiropractic care I received as a teenager would have such a wonderful impact on my life years later.

Kanata Chiropractor, Dr. Pierre ParadisI received my first chiropractic adjustment when I was 14 years old.  I was playing contact hockey at that time and a body check during a game caused a great deal of pain in my back.  As a result, my parents, who themselves were receiving chiropractic care, decided to bring me to their chiropractor, Dr. Kenneth DeHaas.  I’ve always had an interest in health sciences, but ever since my first adjustment, I was drawn to the chiropractic profession.  Dr. DeHaas was great; not only as a chiropractor, but also in guiding me in my decision to become a chiropractor. 

I attended Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa, USA.  The school came highly recommended not only from Dr. DeHaas, but also from other chiropractors which I had met.  It is the fountainhead of chiropractic.  Palmer has always had a strong focus on the art, science, and philosophy of chiropractic, but looking back on all my studies at Palmer, I realize that the philosophy classes were the most valuable.  The principles that: healing comes from above-down inside-out, and that the power that made the body heals the body, have been life changing.

Through my practice, I hope to serve my community with the best of my abilities, by helping them maximize their lives with chiropractic care and our wellness programs.  In the process, I hope to raise awareness of the goals of our charity, Chiropractors with Compassion, dedicated to funding child-centered projects around the world.

I have a beautiful fiancée, Nathalie.  When Nathalie isn’t teaching and when I’m not at the clinic, we are keeping busy these days taking care of all the wedding preparations, spending time outdoors, or just sitting at home cheering for the Ottawa Senators!

My parents, sister, brother-in-law, Nathalie, and I all get adjusted on a weekly basis.  Along with regular exercise and proper nutrition, these have been the key factors to ensuring our optimal well-being and health. 

Thank you for visiting our site. I look forward to meeting you in person and learning how we may be of service to you. Give our office a call, or email me using the link below and let’s arrange a time to explore your options.

Dr. Pierre Asks some important questions of interest to Kanata residents - Chiropractor Kanata Dr. Pierre Asks...

Will chiropractic adjustments make my spine too loose?
No. Only the spinal joints that are fixated and "locked up" receive attention. The occasional spinal joint that moves too much is passed over so weakened muscles and ligaments can strengthen and heal.
How could a child benefit from chiropractic?
Regardless of our age, each of us in Kanata encounters physical, chemical and emotional stresses that exceed our ability to handle. For newborns, it could be the trauma encountered at birth. For toddlers it could be from learning to walk or ride a bike. Many of the problems we chiropractors see in adults are the result of neglected traumas from childhood.
