Chiropractors

Chris Kelly

Dr. Chris Kelly

Chiropractor, Co-Owner

  • BIO

    Dr. Christopher Kelly is a graduate of the University of Windsor where he obtained his Bachelor of Human Kinetics with Honours designation. While at The University of Windsor, he also completed their competitive co-op program where his passion and experience for the field of rehabilitation flourished. 


    He then attended the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto for his four-year Doctorate of Chiropractic degree. In his final clinical year in Toronto, Dr. Kelly learned how to safely and effectively practise acupuncture by using his in-depth knowledge of human anatomy. He also has a certificate with the Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) which allows him to have a deep understanding of how the body functions during a golf swing and how that can translate to injury. 


    Dr. Kelly uses an evidence-based, patient-centred approach to care. He is able to treat a wide variety of musculoskeletal conditions in all regions of the body. He values the benefits of manual care but understands the importance of rehabilitation so that the probability of injury reoccurrence can be greatly reduced. Rehab exercises are included in all treatment plans to promote stability and controlled movements in an increased range of motion. Dr. Chris additionally encourages people to be proactive instead of reactive to injury. 


    This idea can be referred to as “prehab”, where a patient/athlete performs exercises that are beneficial to their individual needs.

    Dr. Kelly was born and raised in St. Thomas. He played a wide range of sports at a competitive level including hockey, football, golf, soccer, basketball and volleyball. He remains active still, as he values the benefits of exercise. He is married to his beautiful wife Deanna, has two adorable daughters and has a black lab named Bentley. When he isn’t chasing toddlers, Chris likes to play golf and go camping with his family.
