Dr. Amit Chahal was raised on an Orchard in Oliver, BC. He completed his Bachelor of Science in microbiology at the University of British Columbia in Kelowna. He then started his Doctor of Chiropractic at the University of Western States in 2018 in conjunction with his Bachelors in Human Biology where he graduated summa cum laude.

Through his years at UWS, he has gained extensive clinical experience backed by the most recent evidence-informed research, which confidently allows him to treat any patient who walks through the door. He is a firm believer in having many tools in his tool bag meaning more than just the “pop” and “crack”. Taking a detailed history and orthopedic exams helps determine what treatment modalities will be used to provide the most evidence-based patient-centered care. This is what truly sets him apart from “other chiropractors”.

His goal is to improve the athletic, pediatric, geriatric, and pre/post-natal patient base through high-quality musculoskeletal care. His sport of choice is basketball and has been playing since he was 5. If he is not busy treating patients you can find Amit and his wife at the dog park with their Labradoodle, Leo. He enjoys the outdoors, traveling, golfing, and spending time with friends and family no matter the occasion.
