Meet the Doctor

Dr. Craig Hazel has been studying and educating people about human performance and wellness for the past thirteen years. He began his undergraduate studies at Queen's University where he graduated in 1999 with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a Bachelor of Physical and Health Education.

During his studies at Queen's he began to suffer from excruciating headaches, frequent colds and stomach problems.  After exploring conventional medicine with limited results, he tried chiropractic.  "No one was more skeptical about chiropractic than I was.  After several weeks of starting care, I began to experience something I had never felt in a long time - I felt nothing.  No headaches, no sinus pain, no more colds, aches and pains vanished and my energy tripled.  I was so amazed that I began to explore the profession further.  What I found out is that chiropractic had a tremendous amount of research and indisputable scientific principles backing it.  This was important to an analytical guy like me.  I became fascinated with how the human body was designed and how it works.  I knew then that no other profession would suit me as well as chiropractic."

In 2004, he received his Doctorate of Chiropractic and a Bachelor of Science in Anatomy from Parker College of Chiropractic in Dallas, Texas.  For many years, his pragmatic approach to health and well-being has helped professional and elite level athletes, weekend warriors, children, and grandparents achieve an incredible level of health.
