Indigenous chiropractor takes a crack at providing rural care in Sask. – The Star Phoenix
Mar 03, 2024
Dr. David Peeace is co-chair of the all-new Indigenous Chiropractic Caucus, which has a goal to increase musculoskeletal care for Indigenous people.
Finding basic chiropractic care in rural and Indigenous communities can be a challenge but Dr. David Peeace is among a group of chiropractors working to change things.
“We’re trying to increase awareness, because there’s not a lot of chiropractic services for Indigenous people, aside from in urban centres, but rurally there’s very little,” he said.
“We find the best outcomes if you see someone, you’re familiar with, and someone culturally you feel comfortable with.”
Originally from the Yellow Quill First Nation, Peeace is now in Estevan, where he serves as co-chair of the all-new Indigenous Chiropractic Caucus.
It was established under the Canadian Chiropractic Association (CCA) with the goal to increase musculoskeletal care for Indigenous people across Saskatchewan and Canada.
