Dr. Chris Carter

Valeo Health Clinic

565 Osprey Ave, Kelowna, BC, V1Y 5A7

I obtained a Bachelor of Science degree (Kinesiology/Biology) at the University of Victoria in 2002, and then completed my Doctor of Chiropractic degree at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in 2006 (graduating Cum Laude). A desire to live overseas quickly landed me in Perth, Australia where I worked as a chiropractor for nine years. I was fortunate to gain a significant amount of experience treating patients with a wide variety of musculoskeletal health conditions such as back and neck pain, headaches, and sports injuries. With a passion for teaching, I also spent 6 years as a clinical supervisor at Murdoch University teaching diagnostic and manual therapy skills to chiropractic students. In 2016, I completed a Master of Science in Pain Management from the University of Sydney, Australia as well as the diplomate program in the Canadian Academy of Pain Management. With these qualifications, I am able to more thoroughly evaluate and manage patients with both acute and chronic pain. My approach to chiropractic care emphasizes thorough evaluation and care that is evidence-informed and patient-centered. Some people prefer getting their spine cracked, while others want help with a more gentle approach. I provide either or both, and discuss with you what would be best and in line with your preferences. I have completed the ART and Graston courses, and use pain science education and rehabilitation to help you feel better as soon as possible. Outside of the clinic, I keep busy with family life, coaching youth hockey and baseball, and participating in trail running, golf, and racquet sports. Should you have any questions regarding how chiropractic can be helpful for you, please feel free to contact me at the clinic.
