ABOUT DR. LEO QUAN: CHIROPRACTOR IN DOWNTOWN TORONTO
Dr. Leo Quan is a Doctor of Chiropractic and owner of Source Chiropractic in downtown Toronto. A graduate of the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College, he has been in clinical practice since 2011.
His work focuses on posture-related spinal strain, spinal function, and recurring concerns commonly experienced by people whose work and daily routines involve prolonged sitting, computer use, and repetitive physical stress.
WHY I BECAME A CHIROPRACTOR
Before becoming a chiropractor, I worked as an award-winning graphic designer and trained seriously for triathlons. During one race, I slipped while running downhill and injured myself, but finished the event and initially expected to return to training as usual.
Within days, I developed partial paralysis in one leg. I was frightened and frustrated, especially because training and athletic performance were such an important part of my life at the time.
I eventually left graphic design, completed my Doctor of Chiropractic degree at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in 2011, and have been in practice since then.
That experience still influences how I care for patients today. I remember what it felt like to be worried about what was happening to my body and to want a clear explanation and a path forward. It is one reason I place so much emphasis on assessment, education, and measuring whether care is producing meaningful progress.
EDUCATION, LICENSURE AND EXPERIENCE
DOCTOR OF CHIROPRACTIC
Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC), 2011
ONTARIO LICENSURE
Dr. Leo is licensed to practise chiropractic in Ontario and is registered with the College of Chiropractors of Ontario.
CLINICAL EXPERIENCE
Dr. Leo has practised since 2011, with most of his career spent caring for patients in downtown Toronto.
Over that time, his clinical work has increasingly focused on posture-related spinal strain, spinal biomechanics, recurring neck and back concerns, and the physical demands associated with modern desk-based work.
ADVANCED CHIROPRACTIC TRAINING
In addition to his Doctor of Chiropractic education at CMCC, Dr. Leo has pursued further training in approaches that have shaped how he assesses spinal function, posture, and patient progress.
NETWORKSPINAL
Dr. Leo completed Level 3 certification in NetworkSpinal in 2016, including training with NetworkSpinal founder Dr. Donald Epstein. That training influenced his interest in how spinal function, nervous system regulation, and patterns of tension may affect the way people respond to physical and emotional stress.
CHIROPRACTIC BIOPHYSICS (CBP)
Dr. Leo has also completed webinar training in Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP), an approach that emphasizes posture, spinal alignment, biomechanics, and the use of measurable findings to help guide corrective care.
Rather than applying a single technique or protocol to every patient, Dr. Leo integrates these clinical influences with his examination findings, professional judgment, the patient’s goals, and their response to care.
CLINICAL FOCUS
Dr. Leo has a particular clinical interest in posture, spinal biomechanics, and recurring spinal strain associated with the way people work, move, and spend their time.
Many of his patients are downtown professionals whose concerns are influenced by prolonged sitting, computer work, commuting, exercise, previous injuries, or repetitive physical demands.
Common concerns seen in practice include:
- Neck pain
- Back pain
- Headaches and migraines
- Sciatica
- Posture-related strain
- Desk-work and tech-neck strain
- Shoulder pain
- TMJ and jaw tension
Individual symptoms can have many causes. Dr. Leo’s role is to assess the relevant history and clinical findings, determine whether chiropractic care is appropriate, and recommend next steps based on the individual rather than the diagnosis alone.
DR. LEO’S APPROACH TO CARE
Dr. Leo believes good chiropractic care starts with understanding the person before making a recommendation.
Assessment may include your health history, posture, spinal movement, orthopedic and neurological testing, functional findings, and relevant imaging when clinically appropriate.
He uses those findings to decide whether chiropractic care is appropriate, what goals are reasonable, and what approach he recommends.
When ongoing care is recommended, progress is reassessed over time. If a patient is not responding as expected, the plan should be reconsidered rather than simply continued unchanged.
WHAT PATIENTS CAN EXPECT FROM DR. LEO
Dr. Leo aims to make clinical decisions understandable. Patients are encouraged to ask questions about their findings, recommendations, techniques, and progress.
You can expect him to explain what he is seeing, what he finds is clinically relevant, and why he is recommending a particular next step.
Care is collaborative. Recommendations are based on professional judgment, but patients remain in control of the decisions they make about their care.
DR. LEO’S PRACTICE IN DOWNTOWN TORONTO
Dr. Leo practises at Source Chiropractic, located at 326 Adelaide Street West near King West and Toronto’s Entertainment District.
Many patients live or work nearby, and the clinic is within walking distance of St. Andrew and Osgoode subway stations and several downtown streetcar routes.
