Hello, my name is Don Fitz-Ritson, I am a Chiropractor and a Rehab Fellow.

Experience

I attended the University of Waterloo and received my Hons. degree in Psychology and Kinesiology. I then attended the Chiropractic College in Toronto and graduated in 1979 as a Doctor of Chiropractic. I taught for ten years at the Chiropractic College and was an Ass. Professor. I have lectured internationally and published 17 scientific papers and three definitive chapters in books dealing with the assessment, treatment and rehabilitation of spinal injuries. In 1996 I became a Fellow of the Canadian College of Rehabilitation Specialists.

Since 1984, I have also studied , used and researched lasers. In 2006 I co-invented a laser which received 7 Health Canada Approvals for chronic pain conditions.

My Approach To Your Pain Condition

Because of my broad background and experience, I have been able to treat a wide variety of chronic pain conditions by utilizing the best of Chiropractic, Laser, Rehab and Nutrition. When I combine these disciplines to focus on your pain condition, I am not only able to solve the pain condition, but to truly heal the tissues that were causing the pain, and via rehabilitation, take that healed area to a higher level of functioning.  With this approach, I am able to effectively deal with conditions such as, degenerative discs and joints, herniated discs, sports injuries, chronic neck and back pains, headaches and osteoarthritis.
