Meet the Doctor

Dr. Craig Hazel has been studying and educating people about human performance and wellness for the past decade. 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.

Besides building a successful practice, Dr. Craig has been building an amazing family as well.  He and his wife Sarah have been married since 2003 and together they have a daughter named Katelyn.

Like most chiropractors, Dr. Craig became one after a 'life-changing experience' from chiropractic care.  As a teenager, he suffered three concussions playing sports.  Following his last concussion, he experienced excruciating headaches that would cripple him for days.  He also started experiencing bronchitis 4-5 times per year and sinusitis 4-5 times per year.  He was going through painkillers like candies.  In April 1997, he injured his shoulder while lifting weights at the gym.  For nine weeks, he worked tirelessly rehabilitating the injury with conventional physical therapy, anti-inflammatories and pain-killers but to no avail.  After a recommendation to visit a chiropractor from a friend, he had nothing to lose.  The Doctor told him there was a tremendous amount of pressure in his spine and nervous system that was resulting in a lower state of health and preventing healing in his body.  After a few weeks, he experienced no further headaches, his shoulder was back to full function and to this day he has had no further bronchitis, sinusitis and has not taken a pill of any sort in 13 years (and counting)! 

While studying both Biology and Physical and Health Education at Queen's University, he worked for three years as the student athletic therapist with the Men's Varsity Hockey program.  This experience has enabled him to understand the many dimensions of the healing process in his patients.   

He has trained with the greatest minds in the healing arts and brings the most current adjusting skills to his practice.  After graduating from Parker College of Chiropractic in Dallas, Texas, he worked in an office effectively serving over 400 patient visits per week. 

His gentle and caring attitude towards all members of the community and his love for the city has brought him back to our nation’s capital. Dr. Craig’s greatest passion is seeing the lives of families change as they realize the incredible benefits of chiropractic care. He recognizes the amazing inborn potential in all of us to be healthy, and works with you to harness the power within you! “Let me show you how healthy you can truly be!!”
