Dr. Yoon Han

Dr. Yoon Han has just joined our team of chiropractors.  We are excited to have him on board!  Although Dr. Han has just recently completed his license requirements for Canada, he has 10 years practice experience in Asia.  During that time he was able to develop the chiropractic skills he learned at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, IA.  This is the same school both Dr. Powers and Dr. Ruzycki attended.

Practicing in his home country of South Korea was certainly much more of a challenge than North American chiropractors face in the 21st century.  There is no licensing of chiropractors in that country, as a result many misconceptions of our profession persist.  This is not unlike what chiropractors in North America experienced 50 years and more ago.  Dynamic Chiropractic published an article recently on prosecutions of Korean chiropractors.  It is very difficult for Korean chiropractors to effectively help their patients.  They face so much opposition.  These circumstances forced Dr. Han to look beyond his homeland for practice opportunities.

Because of the persecution of chiropractors in Korea, Dr. Han and his family moved to Malaysia for four years where he practiced while waiting for Canadian Immigration to approve their move to Canada.  Canada is the country of their dreams!  We are happy they have chosen to make Medicine Hat their home.  As well as joining our office, Dr. Han and his wife own and operate the Esso convenience store and gas bar at the corner of 11th St. S.E. and Division Ave. 

Dr. Han is excited about helping people in Medicine Hat with their spinal health.  Although he is just learning the Activator Methods technique, he is already quite proficient with instrument adjusting.  He knows the body and the power of the chiropractic adjustment.  His experience helping patients is very transferable to his new technique.  You can schedule an appointment to see Dr. Han by calling our office at 403-529-9069.
