Chiropractic Journey

From a young age growing up in Kapuskasing, Northern Ontario, I was amazed at how Chiropractic adjustments greatly enhanced my recovery from injuries from playing hockey and optimised my performance. Chiropractic kept me in top shape all through my competitive years playing for the Jr. B. St. Marys Lincolns, which is not too far from here!

This part of my journey inspired me to become a Chiropractor. I studied Human Kinetics at University of Guelph for 3 years. After an additional 4 years of study at Chiropractic College in Toronto, I graduated in 2007.

My wife and I excitedly moved to Australia straight out of school, and loved every moment! I was a Chiropractor there for 15 years, owning two offices near Adelaide, South Australia.

In 2021, we moved to Central America, Nicaragua, following the seed that God put in my heart several years ago, to serve local people of a third world country.

At the end of 2022, I put the local communities of Nicaragua that I served in the good hands of a fellow chiropractor, and we moved back to Canada to be closer to our families.

In early 2023, I met Dr. Steve Murdoch. What a blessing he has been to me, and to this community. I am honoured that Dr. Steve chose me to purchase his incredible practice. I know I have big shoes to fill!

I could not have imagined a better person to take over for. We care for patients with the same degree of passion and compassion; the same way we would care for any one of our very own family members. The method and style of chiropractic care we provide is as similar as you could get. Chiropractic is not just a job for either one of us, it is a calling.

My Style of Chiropractic

I consider the body as a whole, despite someone’s focal injury.

Health is from above-down, inside-out:
I understand the body to be created by God, controlled by the brain and nervous system. This includes your muscles, your organs, your hormonal system, everything.

I believe that your body has the God-given ability to self-heal, self-regulate, and thrive.
Stressors of life (physical, emotional, and chemical/toxic) cause your body to tense up and joints in your spine compensate accordingly, causing misalignments – what chiropractors call ‘vertebral subluxations’.

The word subluxation in latin means ‘a condition of less than full light’. This is because when a joint of your spine becomes subluxated (which can happen as early as birth) your brain’s ability to communicate to your body is less than full capacity. But your body is remarkable at coping and compensating – many people go on for several decades before their back pain and headaches begin!

Chiropractic does not cure any disease or condition. (I know it sounds strange – why bother going then, right?!) But hear me out…
Chiropractic is all about reducing subluxations (the physical stress from your spine), improving the nervous system’s ability to coordinate your body to recover and thrive; allowing peak performance in sport, at home, and at work, as well as in the developing body’s of our little people.

Once your nervous system is functioning better, we see people recover from all kinds of conditions. But it is their body doing the recovery, not the chiropractor.

Dr Nik's bio Fairway Chiropractor

My Family

I am the product of 2 loving parents; a French-Canadian mother, and a Canadian born Croatian father. I grew up as the second youngest in a family of 5 kids.

I am a blessed husband, and a father of two gorgeous young children – both born in our home in Australia. I love exploring life with them, from play, sports, cooking, camping, and everything outdoors. I am humbled to have the privilege to guide them in the joy of life through Christ.

Our amazing kids are our joy. Our boy, Mack is a lover of all sports – hockey and baseball are his favourites. Our girl, Harbour, works hard to keep up with her older brother and has a personality that makes us laugh every day!

Chiropractic Techniques

Traditional Manual (hands-on) Chiropractic. Also known specifically as Diversified Technique.

Modified to the individual.

From as gentle as required for infants (no cracking – like testing the ripeness of a tomato), to as firm as is required to move a football linemen.

Hands on approach, focus on restoring chiropractic spinal subluxations with manual chiropractic adjustments and muscle release to primary myofascial trigger points.

However multiple other techniques are used. Just call and ask us if you have a particular question.
