Your Treatment Team - Guelph

Dr. Todd Patterson, HBKin, D.C.

Chiropractic and Acupuncture

After extensively researching my options, I chose to enroll at New York Chiropractic College (NYCC). I was impressed with NYCC as it prides itself on providing world-class scientifically-based chiropractic education. Throughout my academic career at NYCC, I was named to the dean’s list numerous times and awarded several scholarships. I was trained in diversified and Cox technique at NYCC.
 

While obtaining my doctoral degree, it was my priority to expand my therapeutic techniques by becoming certified in Active Release Technique, a neuromuscular soft tissue therapy. I also pursued acupuncture licensure by graduating from the McMaster University Contemporary Medical Acupuncture Program.

It has always been a dream of mine to return to Canada and open a multi-disciplinary clinic. I am fortunate to be able to integrate the invaluable clinical experience that I have gained while practicing in the United States. I have decided to establish the Complete Wellness Clinic in Guelph because of fond memories as a child at my grandparents’ home in Guelph and due to the tremendous growth in population of active citizens, sparking the growing interest and need for alternative and complimentary therapies.

Since the opening of the Guelph clinic in 2005, the clinic has had steady growth. In addition to practicing at Complete Wellness Clinic, I have taken my education and passion for helping others and have started teaching anatomy, physiology and pathology to massage therapies students two mornings a week. I have also forged a collaboration with the Junior B Guelph Dominators hockey team as their team’s Doctor treating a variety sport injuries that arise throughout the season.
