Many of them due to periods of inactivity (closures, work from home, lack of resources), followed by periods of increased activity (eased restrictions, return to work, shoveling, etc.). Don't let aches and pains hold you back! We can help you achieve your optimal health. Complimentary consultations available virtually, as well as in the clinic to assist with treatment options.

Our first Alevia Unmasked spotlight features Dr. David Lee, the newest member of our team! Dr. Lee joined our Alevia team in November last year. Originally from Toronto, he attended York University, obtaining his degree in Kinesiology. He then obtained his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from New York Chiropractic College, and soon after, completion of a 5 month program in Contemporary Acupuncture from McMaster University. Why Chiropractic?... - Dr. Lee suffered from a low back disc herniation injury at the age of 17. This resulted in flare-ups of back pain that would cause immense pain and immobilization. He recognized the severe impact such an injury had on all the things he loved doing. His studies provided an opportunity to learn about human anatomy and biomechanics, where he gained a deeper interest in the human body. This inspired him to pursue a career in chiropractic to help others to become pain free and improve their quality of life, as well as improve his own limitations from back injury. I continuously strive to refine and develop my knowledge and skills to treat musculoskeletal dysfunctions mainly with manual therapy and neurofunctional acupuncture treatments. Advanced Certifications: - Graston Technique - Contemporary Medical Acupuncture Graduate Favorite Movie Genre: Action/Sci-Fi Favorite Food: Mediterranean Fun fact about yourself: I’ve been my own barber, cutting my hair once a week since I was 16. Hobbies and Interests: Away from work, he can often be found lifting weights, or golfing with friends. Inspirational quote: Make your life your masterpiece; imagine no limitations on what you can be, have or do.- Brian Tracy
