Meet Nick Halladay

Nick is a current student at the University of Western States in Portland, OR. He recently moved to Kelowna to continue his internship under the guidance of Dr. Col as he pursues his Doctor of Chiropractic.

Nick began his post-secondary education at Trinity Western University, earning a Bachelor of Human Kinetics in Kinesiology. Since beginning the DC program at UWS, he has also obtained his Bachelor of Science in Human Biology.

Nick grew up in an active household as part of a large family of eight kids. He spent much of his time outdoors and grew up enjoying snowboarding, longboarding, mountain biking, and martial arts. He has also valued community involvement throughout his life, spending time volunteering with youth sports at various points throughout high school and university.

Upon beginning university, Nick was recruited to the varsity rugby team. With intense training and physical competition, he experienced multiple injuries himself and witnessed many injuries among his teammates. This was when his passion for understanding the human body and injury rehabilitation began to deepen significantly.

In managing his own injuries with different healthcare practitioners, and observing others to do same, chiropractic care remained central to his recovery. The hours spent receiving treatment, completing rehabilitation exercises, and observing different treatment protocols helped to refine both his understanding of the human body and his passion to pursue chiropractic school.

Since beginning his education at UWS, Nick has continued to observe the benefits of chiropractic care in his own life and in the lives of the patients he has treated thus far. From rehabilitation exercises and workout modifications to soft tissue manipulation and chiropractic adjusting, he aims to identify the most effective treatments to help patients achieve their goals. Nick is committed to helping people get to where they are trying to go by providing care that is practical, meaningful, and helpful.
