Peterborough Chiropractor | Dr. Jeff Lustig

A whole profession that matched MY philosophy of health and I did not know it until I met and spoke with a chiropractor.

I did not know much about chiropractic back in high school. Fortunately I sailed through those years playing football, lacrosse, hockey, baseball, wresting and competitive swimming without injury. It was Debbie, my high school girl friend who introduced me to chiropractic.

Debbie had been thrown from a horse years earlier. She, and in fact all her family benefited from chiropractic treatments. Through Debbie's visits I met my first Chiropractor, Dr. John Hawrylak. He showed me how chiropractic worked and explained that when combined with exercise and good nutrition the body can often heal itself without drug or medical interventions.

WOW! Here it was, a whole profession that matched MY philosophy of health and I did not know it until I met and spoke with a chiropractor.

Here is what clinched it for me...

First, I took my Mom, Shirley, for chiropractic treatments for the migraines she had suffered from for years. Since being treated, she has never had another migraine! Next, during my university years I worked my summers outdoors as a greens keeper at a golf course. That's when it hit. My first episode of severe back pain. Chiropractic gave me great relief and off I went to Chiropractic College to learn how to help others!

I went to York University to get my Bachelors of Science before attending the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto. I enjoyed and did well in science and biology in high school and university. At Chiropractic College I loved learning every aspect of how the human body worked and especially how what I was learning was going to apply in practice. To this day it still thrills me, that with my hands and my knowledge of the body I can facilitate amazing changes in a person's health and enjoyment of life - without drugs or surgery.

One of the most rewarding aspects of practice has always been working with patients who feel they have tried everything else before calling our office as a last resort. If theirs is a chiropractic problem I am deeply satisfied that we are still able at that point to make a significant improvement in the patients health and provide symptom relief. I enjoy the variety of patients and health conditions my practice attracts. It is an honour and a privilege to give a newborn infant their first life enhancing adjustment or to keep our many seniors active and pain free. We have treatments to meet the needs of all ages and conditions.

As a Certified Chiropractic Rehabilitation Doctor and Certified Laser Therapist we have a variety of treatment approaches for athletes and the "hard working adult or the adult working out hard".

We Are A Chiropractic Family

I met my wife Maura when she asked me to dance at friend's summer pool party. Within a year I had convinced her that moving to Peterborough to join me was the thing to do. Maura is a talented artist and a Life Coach. Click here to visit her website. We have five children between us. I have a son, Dan, and a daughter, Lindsay, both are getting their Masters Degree in the sciences from the University of Toronto and each looking for careers in health care. Maura has two sons, Kyle who works for a security company while pursuing acting opportunities, Troy who is in the Canadian military and finally her daughter, Hilary, who chose theatre and is a stage manager in Ottawa.

I have served on the board of Big Brothers and Sisters of Peterborough and other organizations and I have been a member of Rotary.

Our personal, all natural health approach takes several forms. Maura and I enjoy our Isagenix lifestyle and the energy nutritional cleansing gives us. We enjoy gardening, biking, canoeing, running and working out in the gym in the winter months. We are working our way towards running distance races. Our exercise routine is enhanced by regular adjustments and massage therapy.

For recreation we like to travel and experience the culture, architecture and history of many places in the world.
