About
Dr Avtar Jassal
Dr Avtar Jassal was born and raised in the northern Manitoba town
of Thompson. At the age of 18 years Dr Jassal moved to Winnipeg
and began his pre-chiropractic education at the University of Manitoba.
After he completed three years of study, he was accepted to the
Doctor of Chiropractic program at the prestigious Life University
in Marietta, GA. He completed three years of studies there before
finishing his final year at Life Chiropractic College West, just
outside of San Francisco. Dr Jassal graduated Cum Laude (Honours),
near the top of his class, from the Doctor of Chiropractic program
in 2003.
Upon graduation, Dr Jassal moved back to Winnipeg, Manitoba, where
he practiced for three years. For the first year and a half, he
had the opportunity to do relief work that permitted him to work
in a number of clinics. The experience he rendered in the varying
clinics allowed him to master many different adjusting techniques.
The second year and a half he built a thriving wellness practice
as an associate doctor at one of the busiest and most successful
clinics in the province. Dr Jassal married his wife Michelina in
January 2006, and a year later they moved to Vancouver. He immediately
opened up a family wellness based practice on West Broadway that
has been growing by leaps and bounds.
Dr Jassal is currently the British Columbia Representative Assemblyman
for the International Chiropractic Association, chiropractic’s
oldest association. As such he assists in promoting and spreading
chiropractic around the world. He regularly attends post-graduate
training in the science and philosophy of chiropractic and advanced
techniques to provide better service to his practice members; he is therefore
away from time to time to attend continuing education. Dr Jassal
is also an assistant teacher for post-graduate training in the TRT
(Torque Release Technique), in which he himself has had much advanced
education. He mentors chiropractic students and those students considering
chiropractic as a profession.
Dr Jassal checks many children and expecting mothers as well as
families at the clinic. He is committed to enhancing the health
and vitality of all his practice members and the community. He makes it
a point to explain everything in advance, answer any questions and
communicate the goals for a practice member’s return to health.
Dr Jassal is very active in community fundraising for the Vancouver
Food Bank and enjoys activities such as reading, yoga and snowboarding.
He also regularly gives talks in the community on a wide variety
of health issues. |
