CHIROPRACTORS

Dr. David Vecchio, DC

Dr. Dave has been in private practice in Collingwood since 2002. Prior to this, he served as an associate Chiropractor in Toronto for one year, and then as a locum Chiropractor covering as many as twenty different Chiropractic practices across Ontario for one year. Dr Dave graduated with Honours from Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College with a 4-year Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) degree and prior to that completed a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry from McGill University.

Dr. Bernadette Vecchio, DC

At Dr. Bernadette's first adjustment in 2000 to seek relief for neck and back pain she felt the ‘call’ to become a Chiropractor. This calling was confirmed as she started to experience the incredible benefits of Chiropractic in her own life. Dr. Bernadette was living in Australia at the time and started the program as a mature student. In 2009 she graduated from the five-year undergraduate & postgraduate program and was admitted to the Master of Chiropractic degree from Macquarie University.
