The MOVE Team
Who We Are...
Dr. Shane McCormack
Chiropractor & Owner
Dr. Shane McCormack has maintained a Chiropractic practice in Northwestern Ontario since 2002. His patient centred approach emphasizes the role of soft tissue in pain syndromes. He is a strong advocate of a multidisciplinary approach. He believes that the goal of passive therapies should always bring patients to the point where they can become more independent in their care, via exercise and active healthy living.
In addition to private practice at MOVE Therapy, he is an Advanced Practice Clinician with the Rapid Access Clinic at Thunder Bay Regional Hospital, in the Low Back Pain and Spine assessment programs.
Dr. McCormack enjoys being active and outside time with his family during his time off.
