Treasurer

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.
