Dr. Hunter Zawada is our newest chiropractor who brings a patient-centered approach to care with a passion for helping people move better, recover faster, and get back to doing what they love. Originally from the Kootenays, Hunter returned home after achieving a 4.0 GPA in the chiropractic program at University of Western States in Portland, Oregon.
With a background in collegiate lacrosse at McGill University and a lifelong connection to the outdoors, Hunter understands the importance of staying active and the impact injuries can have on everyday life in the Kootenays. Whether you’re dealing with a new injury, persistent aches and pains, headaches, sports-related issues, or simply looking to move and feel better, his goal is to help you return to your activities with confidence.
Hunter utilizes a combination of evidence-informed chiropractic care and individualized treatment techniques including:
* Manual adjustments
* Activator methods
* Soft tissue therapy
* Cupping
* Instrument-assisted soft tissue therapy
* Mobility and rehabilitation exercises
* Patient education and movement coaching.
He believes treatment works best when patients understand what’s going on with their body and feel actively involved in the recovery process. His approach is practical, collaborative, and tailored to each individual’s goals — whether that’s getting back on the ski hill, improving athletic performance, working pain-free, or keeping up with everyday life.
Outside the clinic, you’ll likely find Hunter golfing, skiing, fly fishing, or spending time outdoors around the Kootenays.
