OUR DOCTORS AND STAFF

Dr. David Lovsin

Dr. LovsinDr. Lovsin established his practice in Kanata in 1987. Along with his Doctor of Chiropractic he holds a Masters degree in Kinesiology from the University of Waterloo where he specialized in biomechanics, the study of the interaction of forces on the body. His undergraduate degree was completed at the University of Ottawa.

His interest in chiropractic stems from his youth when he saw the amazing results experienced by his father, uncle, and grandmother under chiropractic care. His grandmother, in particular, after three days in the hospital with excruciating back and leg pain, was told nothing could be done. She was literally carried from the hospital to the chiropractor, under whose care she experienced complete relief and return of mobility within a number of weeks.

Dr. Lovsin's interests include personal health and fitness, and he has competed in numerous races, including running, triathlons, and duathlons, and cross-country ski events. He enjoys recreational activities and family life. He lives in Kanata with his wife and two daughters.
