Dr. Demetri Dalekos
CHIROPRACTOR, FOUNDER D+A WELLNESS CENTRE
Demetri Dalekos played many different sports growing up and developed a passion for hockey and football. Dr. Demetri had a successful football career playing fullback for Team Ontario and the University of Ottawa Gee-Gees, and experienced numerous injuries and surgeries. His background led him to have a keen interest in treating athletes, as well as treating spinal and extremity dysfunction, and myofascial pain.
During his time with the Gee-Gees, Dr. Demetri earned his BSc in Human Kinetics from the University of Ottawa. He then hung up his cleats and pursued his dream of becoming a Chiropractor and graduated from New York Chiropractic College with Academic honours.
“Chiropractic care kept me playing football when most thought I couldn’t. It has gotten me to where I’m feeling my best self; and I wouldn’t be where I am today without it.”
If Dr. Demetri is not treating patients, you’ll most likely find him in the gym pursuing his passion for exercise and healthy living.
