Throughout his career, he has cared for countless patients, hosted and participated in workshops and retreats, and continually deepened his own awareness and training. A self-described lifelong student, Dr. Valcourt has explored everything from breathwork and cold exposure to self-discovery techniques, sharing his knowledge at festivals, community events, and health-focused gatherings.
With extensive training in chiropractic and the vital role of the nervous system, he emphasizes that the health of the spine is foundational for the body to function at its full potential. He also developed a unique program based on seven steps to creating a personal wellness recipe book—a framework that has become an integral part of the ChiroSynergy philosophy.
His devotion to family matches Dr. Valcourt’s passion for wellness. He is the proud father of four children—two of whom are also chiropractors—and grandfather to nine. Through his marriage to Fran O’Neill, his family has grown to include two more children and five additional grandchildren, together forming an extraordinary blended family rooted in love, wellness, and connection.
Beyond his professional life, Dr. Valcourt is an avid golfer and was once a high-level acrobatic skier in Canada. It was during his youth, after sustaining a serious lower back injury from skiing, that he discovered chiropractic care. Since the age of 16, he has received consistent chiropractic adjustments, which he credits as the foundation for his long-lasting vitality and ability to perform at such a high level even today.
Dr. Valcourt’s mission is clear: to help and educate as many people as possible to reach their optimal health potential through natural means—including chiropractic care, nutrition, exercise, cold exposure, breathwork, and more. His life’s work is a testament to the power of alignment, resilience, and the unwavering belief that the body is designed to heal itself when given the right support.
