Dr. Irving Pisarek - Clinic Director

I am a duly qualified chiropractic practitioner, registered to practice in the Province of Ontario, Canada with reciprocity status in Florida and California, USA. I graduated as a Doctor of Chiropractic in 1976 from the prestigious Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto, Ontario. I am certified as a Chiropractic Rehabilitation Doctor specialist and am working towards Level 3 designation.

Since graduation, I founded Advanced Healthcare Inc. - Since 1976 Inc.; Accident Injury Management Clinic (A.I.M.) - North York Inc., Bathurst Chiropractic Clinic; and the Chiropractic, Rehabilitation and Wellness Centre. 

I have been active in private practice for over 35 years, with special emphasis placed upon the assessment and active rehabilitation of spinal and joint musculoskeletal injuries as they relate to personal, sports, work and motor vehicle trauma for both adults and children. I have also appeared as an 'Expert Witness' in numerous court proceedings, for both plaintiff and defendant, with respect to motor vehicle accident injuries.

I have sat on various professional committees and appeared on radio, television and written numerous articles relating to my profession. I also lecture and conduct workshops on various topics with respect to Chiropractic issues, health and wellness throughout the Greater Toronto Area and surrounding communities. On a professional, chiropractic community level, I have been awarded the Ontario Chiropractic Association’s 2003 'Community Volunteer of the Year Award'.

"My satisfaction as a health-care practitioner is knowing that I have helped my patients achieve their full and pain free life-potential to be the best that they can be from inside-out and maintain their level of peak performance".
