Victoria, BC chiropractor, Dr. Peter Quinn, founder and former clinic director of Saanich Centre Chiropractic Plus, has practiced in Victoria since 1992. He provides evidence-informed care for acute and chronic pain, numbness, tingling, and tension caused by car crashes, sports and workplace injuries. He also offers supportive and preventive care and advice for repetitive strains, postural imbalances, and other daily stresses.

Treatments may include the following:

  • Chiropractic adjustments using various techniques (e.g. Diversified, Drop Table, Activator, Accustim) for motion abnormalities of spinal and extremity joints.

  • Deep tissue adhesion release using ART (hands-on) to free up scar tissue knots restricting nerves, muscles, tendons, and ligaments.

  • Cold Laser therapy to limit inflammation and speed healing.

  • Guidance on stretching and strengthening exercises.

  • Nutritional advice to control inflammation, limit joint cartilage damage, and optimize health.

Born and raised in Montreal, Dr. Quinn played junior hockey under coach Jacques Demers, (who in 1993 coached the Montreal Canadiens to the Stanley Cup.) Four years later, Dr. Quinn captained the Dartmouth College varsity hockey team and earned a bachelor’s degree.

While in his first career teaching high school math and science, a hockey injury causing low back pain and sciatica (leg pain) affected him for three months. Fortunately, a colleague recommended his chiropractor and Dr. Quinn recovered with a treatment program. This inspired him to pursue the four-year Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) degree.

In 1991, he graduated summa cum laude and was class salutatorian at Life Chiropractic College West in California. In 1992, he completed post-doctoral studies in diagnosis and treatment of sports injuries. In 2010, he trained with the Titleist Performance Institute to provide enhanced care and advice to golfers. In 2023, he completed a program in diagnosis and treatment of concussions.

In Victoria, besides practicing full-time, he has taught courses in bone and joint pathology, the nervous system, musculoskeletal anatomy, and kinesiology at local colleges. He has practiced yoga and Tai Chi for many years, plays golf, table tennis, and guitar, likes choral singing, does light gym workouts, and walks nature trails. He volunteers on several non-profit boards.

He enjoys taking time to listen to his patients.

Dr. Mark Strudwick, chiropractor in Victoria and clinic director of Saanich Centre Chiropractic Plus, is a third-generation chiropractor, and the fourth chiropractor in his family. He attended Palmer College of Chiropractic West in San Jose, California and graduated in 1997. Prior to his chiropractic education, he received a Bachelor of Sciences (B.Sc.) degree in Biology from the University of Victoria. In an effort to remain current while in practice, he has attended many seminars over the years in order to stay up with the latest research and treatment methods and scientifically-valid options of care.

Having completed training in Amsterdam and Oxford, he is one of only three chiropractors in Victoria to hold an ICSC (Internationally Certified Sports Chiropractor) through the International Federation of Sports Chiropractic (FICS), a body whose mandate is to train, and provide standards, for chiropractors working at top athletic events worldwide. Other certifications he holds:

-FAKTR (Functional & Kinetic Treatment and Rehab)

-Functional Movement System (Level 1)

-Selective Functional Movement Assessment (Levels 1 and 2)

-Titleist Performance Institute Levels 1 and Medical 2

He has found in practice – that next to injury, faulty movement patterns are often the cause of pain and discomfort for many. Dr. Strudwick has certified in the above movement evaluations in order to be able to assess, treat and rehab injuries more effectively. He employs several techniques in his care of patients depending upon the individual’s need: from traditional chiropractic to soft tissue methods, kinesiology taping and laser therapy.

Educating the public about the benefits of chiropractic, as well as other health issues, is something that he feels is important. To achieve this goal, Dr. Strudwick has written numerous articles for Victoria’s “Moss Rock Review” and has been published at www.livestrong.com. In addition to private practice, Dr. Strudwick was the Orthopedic Pathology instructor for eight years at the Victoria campus of the West Coast College of Massage Therapy.
