Develop. Compete. Perform.

THIS IS MORE THAN A CHIROPRACTIC PRACTICE. THIS IS AN PROSPECT TO BE PART OF SOMETHING BIGGER.

At SHIELD Athletics & Sports Medicine, we're changing the way people approach health, recovery and human performance.

We have built an integrated environment where sports medicine, chiropractic care, physiotherapy, rehabilitation, strength and conditioning, and athletic development come together under one roof.

LEARN FROM THE BEST. BUILD YOUR OWN PRACTICE.

One of the biggest advantages of joining SHIELD is the chance to work alongside an established, highly respected sports chiropractor who has built an extensive practice and reputation within professional sports.

Our team includes a senior chiropractor who works with professional organizations and athletes across multiple sports, including the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, Toronto Sceptres and PWHL, while also consulting with professional soccer players, NHL athletes and Olympians.

He brings an incredible level of experience, knowledge and industry relationships to SHIELD.

- Work alongside and learn from an experienced sports chiropractor with established professional sports relationships.
- Gain exposure to the treatment approaches, demands and expectations of competitive and professional athletes.

This is a particularly exciting opportunity for a chiropractor who wants to develop a career in sports chiropractic but also wants the support, mentorship and patient volume of an established practice.
