We’re excited to introduce Dr. Adrian Raphael, a dynamic chiropractor whose journey into chiropractic care blends the precision of electrical engineering with a passion for athletic performance and holistic health.

While studying electrical engineering at McMaster University, Dr. Raphael’s experience as a competitive track and field athlete—alongside his background in hockey, football, and wrestling—meant frequent injuries. It was through chiropractic care that he found both relief and a new perspective. His engineering mindset naturally aligned with chiropractic principles, sparking a lifelong dedication to understanding and optimizing the body’s innate potential.

Dr. Raphael went on to earn a Bachelor of Science and a Doctor of Chiropractic at Logan College of Chiropractic in St. Louis, Missouri, where he was quickly recognized for his academic and clinical excellence. His talents led him to work with the Logan research department, resulting in award-winning research, a published study in the Journal of Chiropractic Education and Research, and top honours upon graduation in 2009.

Guided by renowned chiropractor Dr. James Chestnut, Dr. Raphael also founded the Wellness Club at Logan, where he empowered students with the science behind wellness—including nutrition, movement, and mindset.

After associating in British Columbia with Dr. Rick Baxter, Dr. Raphael eventually returned to Ontario and founded Beyond Wellness, a family-focused chiropractic office. Today, he balances full-time practice with speaking engagements, sharing insights into adaptive physiology and the chiropractor’s pivotal role in fostering wellness.
