Dr. Joel Leblanc specializes in guiding active people back to the movement they love – whether you want to run your next 10 K 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.)
