Not sure where to start? Start here.

Choosing the right provider matters—especially when pain, performance, or recurring injuries are holding you back. At Great North Athletics, we focus on understanding you: your goals, your training, and what’s actually limiting your progress.

A free 15-minute discovery call is your chance to ask questions, share what’s been going on, and determine whether our approach is the right fit for you. This is a no-pressure conversation designed to provide clarity before committing to care.

During the call, you’ll speak directly with a doctor who will:
• Listen to your current concerns and goals
• Explain how we approach rehab and performance
• Help you decide on the most appropriate next step

Our goal is simple: to help you feel better, move better, and perform better—using a thoughtful, individualized approach that goes beyond quick fixes.

Golf-specific assessments and training support designed to help you play more comfortably and perform at a higher level.

This category is for golfers dealing with pain, stiffness, or recurring issues—or golfers who want to improve mobility, power, and consistency. Our TPI-based process evaluates how your body and swing work together using targeted mobility and movement testing, golf-specific screening, and (when appropriate) swing characteristics review.

You’ll leave with a clear plan that may include corrective exercises, mobility work, strength recommendations, and next-step programming to help you feel better, move better, and play your best.


Specialty Assessments

Specialty Assessments are focused evaluations for a specific problem area (example: shoulder pain) or recurring movement limitation. These appointments are designed for people who want a deeper dive than a standard visit. We use targeted testing and movement assessment to identify what’s driving your symptoms, then outline a clear plan for next steps—whether that’s rehab, treatment, programm... Read More

Specialty Assessments are focused evaluations for a specific problem area (example: shoulder pain) or recurring movement limitation.

These appointments are designed for people who want a deeper dive than a standard visit. We use targeted testing and movement assessment to identify what’s driving your symptoms, then outline a clear plan for next steps—whether that’s rehab, treatment, programming, or a follow-up pathway.

If you’re unsure where to start—or you have multiple areas involved—book a Discovery Call or an Initial Assessment + Treatment instead.

Dr. Joel Leblanc specializes in guiding active people back to the movement they love – whether you want to run your next 10K pain-free, push harder in the gym, or simply keep up with the kids – he’s got you covered.

His sessions weave precise chiropractic adjustments with advanced soft-tissue techniques and individualized mobility + strength plans, all anchored to the goals you set together.

A former multi-sport athlete raised in Northern Ontario’s rinks and fields, he pairs lived experience with formal training: a B.Sc. in Kinesiology and a Doctor of Chiropractic that included advanced soft-tissue coursework. Joel refined his evidence-based approach to care as a radiology intern—honing a sharp diagnostic eye—and by founding an adjusting-skills club that helped fellow students master technique and patient coaching.

Joel completed his final clinical preceptorship alongside Dr. Spencer Lindholm at Great North Athletics, adopting our Reset-Restore-Reload philosophy centered around getting people back to the activities they love.

From first visit to final milestone, he’ll map out a clear plan, coach you through every step, and keep you accountable. (Fun fact: Joel is fluent in French, so your care can happen en français if you prefer.)
