Dr. Dustin Ho, BA Kin (Hons), R.M.T., D.C. Dr. Dustin Ho grew up in London, Ontario playing various sports including soccer and football. After experiencing multiple injuries throughout his athletic career, Dr. Ho underwent various treatments and rehabilitation, and these experiences helped develop his desire to help others recover from injury and maximize their performance. After receiving a Bachelor’s Degree in Kinesiology from Western University, Dr. Ho went on to complete a diploma in Massage Therapy at Sutherland-Chan and obtained his Doctor of Chiropractic Degree from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC). Clinical Experience During his Massage Therapy education at Sutherland-Chan, Dustin was involved in various specialty clinics working with seniors, athletes, pregnant women, and patients suffering from central nervous system (CNS) conditions, as well as doing a placement at Toronto General Hospitals working with patients before and after surgeries. During his final year at CMCC, Dr. Ho spent the first 6 months of his clinical internship as part of the Family Health Team at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto. There he worked closely with physicians and other medical professionals to manage complex cases including spinal stenosis, chronic pain, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, shoulder dysfunction and various other spinal and extremity complaints. His second placement took place at CMCC, where he treated a different population including student-athletes and corporate employees. He gained valuable experience in treating postural dysfunction as well as expanding his knowledge of the rehabilitation process for patients recovering from sports injury. Approach to Care Dr. Ho believes strongly in finding and treating the root cause of dysfunction, rather than focusing solely on pain. He uses an evidence-based and patient-centered approach dedicated to educating the patient regarding the cause of their symptoms as well as how they can work to improve those symptoms. Dr. Ho also has a passion for fitness and believes that rehabilitation as well as preventative exercise play an important role in optimizing function and avoiding injury. He works with each patient to create an individualized approach to care that best suits their needs.
