Dr. Ryan Desjardins is a dedicated chiropractor with a comprehensive background in healthcare. He graduated from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in 2015 and holds a Bachelor of Science from Laurentian University, as well as a diploma in Medical Radiation Technology from Cambrian College. Before becoming a chiropractor, he practiced as an x-ray technologist for nine years in a hospital setting, which deepened his understanding of patient care. 

Understanding that the title “doctor” derives from the Latin word “docere,” meaning “to teach,” Dr. Desjardins emphasizes the importance of patient education. He takes the time to answer questions, ensuring that patients understand the reasoning behind their diagnoses and treatment recommendations. His philosophy is simple: “Proper treatment starts with a proper diagnosis.” This begins with attentive listening and thorough assessment. 

In his practice, Dr. Desjardins employs a variety of therapeutic techniques tailored to each patient's needs. While he offers chiropractic adjustments, he also provides less forceful mobilization techniques for those who prefer a different approach. His services include acupuncture, dry needling, instrument-assisted techniques, electrotherapy modalities, and exercise therapy. 

Dr. Ryan is committed to welcoming all patients, but will refer individuals to the appropriate specialist if their concerns extend beyond his expertise. His goal is to foster a supportive environment where patients feel heard and empowered in their healthcare journey.
