Born in Winnipeg, MB, Canada, Dr. Shapiro became a chiropractor because of the dramatic life changes that took place through the art, science and philosophy of chiropractic. He was in the process of applying to medical school when he was in 5 car accidents within 1 year at the age of 20 years old. As a result of the traumas, as well as soccer and hockey injuries from earlier in life, he suffered with migraine headaches, neck pain, upper back pain, lower back pain and eventually leg numbness. Traditional medical care, Physical Therapy with acupuncture, and exercise rehab were attempted without much success. Despite the efforts of these talented and caring professionals, he was in constant pain. Thankfully, Chiropractic was eventually recommended, and Drs. Paul Kowell and Chalaturnyk (Canada) brought him relief, and a quality of life he was not able to imagine at the time. He had no choice but to give back what was given to him, CHIROPRACTIC!
Dr. Shapiro received his Bachelor of Science degree from University of Manitoba, Canada in 1993, and his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Northwestern College of Chiropractic, (NWCC), MN in 1997. He received his post graduate certification in MUA, Manipulation Under Anesthesia, from National Health Science University (2003) and University of Bridgeport (2008) with an additional certification in Pain Management (2008). Additional health care interests led Dr. Shapiro to national certifications in health care compliance (MCS-P, 2017) and coding (CPC, 2020), He is nationally licensed to practice chiropractic in both the US and Canada.
