The personal stuff:
I’ve hurt my back so many times and in so many different ways, I know what you’re going through! (And luckily I know how to fix it too).
I was born and raised in Calgary, and I couldn’t resist returning to the mountains once I’d completed my professional schooling in Toronto. I’d been living and practicing in Calgary for a few years, but after realizing how much I enjoy living and working rurally while volunteering in Tanzania on a doctors-without-borders type project I decided to move to Dawson City, Yukon.
When I’m not at the clinic, I love spending my time with family and friends. Some of my oldest hobbies include hiking, snowboarding, playing flag football, coaching junior sports, working with tools, and cooking. I love to try new things and my newer hobbies are constantly changing. They currently include beach volleyball, disc golf, gardening, trying new foods, cross-country skiing, prospecting, D&D, and walking my dog.
I’m trying my best to read more for pleasure, listen to new music and podcasts, and practice car maintenance ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The professional stuff:
“Dr. Giancarlo Carpino, DC, is a qualified and registered Chiropractor in the Yukon. He is in good standing with the Yukon government department of Professional Licensing and Regulatory Affairs.”
I studied human biomechanics at the University of Calgary from 2012 to 2016, and subsequently obtained my Doctor of Chiropractic at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto in 2020. I am certified to use acupuncture needling as a treatment modality.
I’ve been in clinical practice since 2019, including working in a rehabilitation hospital, community clinics, and at a motor vehicle collision specialty clinic. I’ve regularly worked with professional dancers at the Alberta Ballet. I have volunteered in Tanzania teaching local clinicians about musculoskeletal rehabilitation. I previously performed independent medical examinations at the North York General Hospital in Toronto in conjunction with Physiatrists, Psychiatrists, Chiropractors, and Neurologists. I have been involved in many pieces of biomechanics and clinical research, and am a published author in this field.
