Chiropractor

DJ LeDrew D.C.

Dr. DJ LeDrew D.C. has been a SW Calgary AB Chiropractor at Full Potential Chiropractic for over 10 years.

I began my post-secondary studies at the University of Calgary (U of C), where I graduated with a Bachelor’s of Kinesiology with an emphasis in Mind Sciences. During my tenure at U of C, I wrestled for the varsity team and learned the value of hard work by juggling my studies and athletic training.

In 2000, I was recognized as the University of Calgary Scholar-Athlete of the Year, one of my proudest moments. I am grateful for the life lessons learned during my ten-year wrestling career. During those years, I was a five-time national medalist and three-time National Champion, representing Canada at many international competitions.

Although I was just reaching my prime in wrestling, I decided to move on to chiropractic and fulfill my mission of serving humanity instead of pursuing the Olympic dream.

I began classes at Southern California University of Health Sciences in January 2001. I set the goal that I wanted to graduate at the top of my class to be the best doctor I could for my patients. I achieved that goal, graduating as the valedictorian, summa cum laude, and was selected by the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners as the fee waiver recipient.

I began a solo practice in Calgary AB in January 2005; and still remain. I maintain one of the busiest family wellness chiropractic offices in the country, helping thousands of patients live a healthier life.

I have a passion for ongoing learning and continue to expand my knowledge by attending regular post-graduate conferences to provide my patients with the most current chiropractic care. I am a Certified Chiropractic Wellness Practitioner (CCWP), I have received many other certifications in pediatrics, upper and lower extremity techniques, TMJ disorders and neurology.

On a personal note, I have two children, Burke and London with my wife Melissa. We are an active family that loves the outdoors and staying fit. We do our best live the chiropractic lifestyle in all areas!

Chiropractor

Brad Pritchard D.C.

Dr. Brad Pritchard D.C.'s journey to becoming a Chiropractor was just that…a journey; one that was deliberate and personal!

Originally, Dr. Brad Pritchard D.C. entered the professional world as a draftsman while enjoying the benefits of chiropractic care as a faithful patient.

Upon witnessing an amazing turn-around in his mom's health after multiple issues and multiple months of no relief from many other avenues, Dr. Brad Pritchard D.C. knew that he had a different calling in life. He left his job as a draftsman and returned to school to become a Chiropractor.

After completing three years of science at the University of Calgary, Dr. Brad Pritchard D.C. spent another four years in California earning his Doctor of Chiropractic at Palmer College of Chiropractic West in September 1994. While there, he was also awarded the Certificate of Clinical Excellence. Upon graduating from Palmer West, he spent time at a clinic in New Mexico learning invaluable techniques in the emerging field of Functional Neurology from a seasoned Chiropractor. After that time, he returned home to Canada and completed his Canadian board exams in August of 1996 and began his Chiropractic career in Calgary in September 1996. Dr. Brad Pritchard D.C. is passionate about the "power of an adjustment" and continues to broaden his knowledge base with continuing education courses including over 600+ hours in functional neurology which is of particular interest to him.

When he is not "saving spines, one adjustment at a time", Dr. Brad Pritchard D.C. is a devoted family man enjoying time with his wife and two children. Together, they enjoy skiing through the winter months, and camping/hiking in the summer. When time permits, he is an avid golfer!

Chiropractor

Eric Hart D.C.

Dr. Eric Hart D.C. was born in Edmonton, but raised in Bragg Creek, just west of Calgary. His passion for Chiropractic care and rehabilitation was discovered through his own personal sport history and accompanying injuries as a varsity volleyball player.

Dr. Eric Hart D.C. spent 4 years at the University of Calgary (UofC) and 1 year at Red Deer College playing volleyball while pursuing his undergrad in Kinesiology. The injury setbacks resulted in him recovering from two surgeries and spending many hours in rehabilitative settings. These experiences gave him the desire to help individuals holistically through healthcare focused on the individuality of each patient and their unique circumstances. With this, stems his motivation to help patients find the root cause of their pain in order to prevent it from reoccurring. His passion for sports plus the prevention and treatment of injuries is the cornerstone of his passion for Chiropractic care.

Upon graduating from Kinesiology at the UofC, Dr. Eric Hart D.C.v and his wife spent 3 years down in Portland, Oregon while he completed his Doctor of Chiropractic and Bachelor of Science in Human Biology. There he learned a wide range of techniques and is eager to deliver a patient centered and diversified method of Chiropractic treatment.

Moving back to Calgary, Dr. Eric Hart D.C. is very excited to start practicing at Full Potential Chiropractic! He looks forward to seeing new patients at the clinic while continuing the pursuit of lifelong learning in the healthcare field.

Outside of the clinic, Dr. Eric Hart D.C. loves to stay active, and you can find him in one of Calgary's many nature parks on any given day, with his wife and dog. He enjoys golfing, camping, and hiking during the summer, and skiing, snowshoeing or skating during the winters. He is thrilled to be back in Canada and looks forward to seeing you at Full Potential Chiropractic!

Chiropractor

Kieran Lamont D.C.

Growing up in Calgary, my passion for chiropractic care was created through numerous visits to a chiropractor following sports injuries. Chiropractic care helped me perform on the court, field and ice and now my passion is to help others achieve their own health goals.

My parents always insisted on academics before athletics and this mindset continued into my post secondary education where I graduated from the University of Calgary Kinesiology Department with Distinction.

Following my undergrad, I attended the University of Western States (UWS) in Portland, Oregon where I graduated summa cum laude. During my time at UWS I focused on exposing myself to numerous treatment styles and techniques in order for me to become the best doctor possible. I attended several extra-curricular courses that focused on adjusting, neurology and rehabilitation.

One of my proudest chiropractic school moments occurred during my second year when I was selected as president of the rehabilitation club. Weekly presentations in front of my peers helped me develop my communication skills and pushed me to gain a deeper understanding of rehabilitation topics.

I'm very happy to be back in Calgary and am excited to start practicing at Full Potential Chiropractic! My treatments focus on patient empowerment and finding the root cause of a patient's symptoms. I use diversified adjusting, nerve mobilizations, manual therapy and traditional rehabilitation with my patients

When I am not in the clinic I stay active by weight lifting, golfing, alpine skiing and playing hockey.

I look forward to working with you at Full Potential Chiropractic!

Shauna E.

Shauna’s Chiropractic story started when she was 10 years old. Her mother took her to see her chiropractor after she was involved in a motor vehicle accident. She continued with care after the injuries from the accident were resolved. Just before she graduated high school that same chiropractor hired her in his office, to learn office administration. She knew then that Chiropractic would be a permanent part of her life.

She continued her education by completing many Administrative programs at SAIT and worked for a couple different offices before getting married. It was when her children were born that she stepped back from the office.

Both of her children have had chiropractic care since the week they were born, and she and her family continue to receive care, keeping them as healthy as possible.

Shauna continued to practice Administration helping her husband with his busy plumbing business until she felt it was time for her to return to the chiropractic office. That is when she started working for Dr. LeDrew in May of 2018. She is happy to be a part of the Full Potential Chiropractic Family.

In her spare time, she enjoys keeping active with yoga, walking her neighborhood, and enjoys paper crafting, and spending time with her family.

Maya D.

My chiropractic journey began in 2016 after I had my daughter. A year into motherhood, I started to experience lower back pain and knew I didn't want to just 'live with the pain'. I didn't want the misalignment to cause me more pain and furthermore dysfunction in the rest of my body. My husband recommended I go seek chiropractic care and I'm glad he did.

After doing some research on where I should go, Dr. DJ LeDrew D.C. popped up as one of the Top Three Best Chiropractors in the city. In addition to that good news, his clinic was a 2-minute drive away from my house. I feel Blessed that I found one of the best Doctors to take care of my spinal health. This to me is very vital and so important in all aspects of our everyday lives. Now, I'm even happier that every day I get to help other patients and be part of the success and positivity at Full Potential Chiropractic.
