Chiropractors Nova Scotia is the voice of advancement for the chiropractic profession in Nova Scotia.
We support our members to thrive together in providing excellent patient care through advocacy, promotion and education. We are committed to building collaborative partnerships, and to providing resources for chiropractors to deliver excellence in patient care to all Nova Scotians.
Formerly known as the Council of the Nova Scotia College of Chiropractors (CNSCC), we were established in 1999 under the Chiropractic ACT. In January of 2024, under the new Nova Scotia Regulated Health Professions Act (RHPA), CNSCC transitioned to a new association, Chiropractors Nova Scotia, and our new mission of advancement, collaboration, and excellence within a strong Chiropractic community.
We know that we are better and stronger together!

Past President

In 2021 he was Awarded ‘Chiropractor of the Year’ by the Nova Scotia College of Chiropractors.
Vice President
Dr. Chuck Dauphinee
I am passionate about my work as a chiropractor and often think of myself as a “body engineer.” My journey into chiropractic began after earning a degree in mechanical engineering with a focus on biomechanics. A serious gym injury left me with chronic back pain, which no therapy seemed to resolve—until I tried chiropractic. This transformative experience inspired me to pursue a career as a chiropractor. Upon graduation I immediately immersed myself in the local sports community offering chiropractic as well as being a sport first responder. Working with many different sports at all levels, I became aware of the need for diversity in sport, specifically hockey. I formed the first 2SLGBTQIA+ and straight allies hockey group in Atlantic Canada where I still coach and referee my time. Due to this initiative, I was appointed to the Hockey Nova Scotia Diversity and Inclusion Task Force where I help lead projects to change hockey culture for all. I have always wanted to give back to my profession in other ways too, so I am proud to be part of the CNS board. I am very excited about the current work and vision of the CNS and will do everything I can to help advance our profession in Nova Scotia.
