Dr. Derek Ginter was born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Knowing that he wanted to help people achieve and maintain optimal health and performance, Dr. Ginter conferred several advanced degrees. Through a series of post-graduate training seminars, he acquired knowledge in a wide range of chiropractic techniques ⎯ from more traditional techniques to the newest gentle and low-force techniques.  He also obtained his acupuncture certificate.

 

With a passion for family wellness, Dr. Ginter went into practice at a very busy clinic in Seattle, Washington after graduation. Soon after, Dr. Ginter and his wife, Belinda, opened their own wellness clinic in Kelowna, British Colombia. While in Kelowna, Dr. Ginter spoke to organizations on correcting and maintaining a healthy spine and nervous system and achieving overall wellness through balanced nutrition, exercise, and stress reduction. Dr. Ginter also organized and ran a non-profit program for individuals with HIV and hepatitis to receive chiropractic care at no charge to help build and maintain a healthy immune system. 

 

After a few years in Kelowna and upon starting a family, Dr. Ginter and Belinda moved to Toronto to be closer to her family in Peterborough.

 

Dr. Ginter has been in practice for the last 10 years in Ajax, with a second location in Oshawa where her currently lives with Belinda, their daughter Natel and son Gavin, and their dog Winston.
