Chiropractic Care

Hello, my name is Dr. Hafeez Merani and I’m the owner of Metrotown Family Chiropractic. You may be wondering why I decided to become a chiropractor, and how I came to be here with you today. It all started when I began experiencing lower back pain in my teenage years.

At the time, I was trying to play the sports that I loved, maintain an active lifestyle, and enjoy time with my friends at school. Since I was struggling with back pain, it kept me from being able to do the things I loved to do. As I tried to seek out different therapies, I was getting more and more frustrated with conventional approaches that only helped for a short amount of time or not at all.

Then something terrible happened: I wasn’t able to do even some of the simplest everyday tasks like going for a morning jog. This meant I couldn’t continue living an active lifestyle, which has always been my passion. As you can imagine, I was deeply concerned, but I wasn’t ready to give up on my dream of living a healthy and active life.

Then a friend of mine introduced me to his father who was a chiropractor, and although I went into the clinic with low expectations, I was shocked to see the difference chiropractic care could make in such a short amount of time.

At that point, everything changed! I discovered how to significantly reduce my back pain and maintain my back health through targeted exercises and stretches. Looking back in time, this pivotal moment demonstrated to me how chiropractic care can be incredibly helpful and has led to fueling my successful practice whose goal is to help our patients manage their pain and become their optimal selves.

Now I work hard to stay healthy and active using the techniques I learned (and now teach) to prevent recurrence of back pain. By sharing my first experience and chiropractic journey with you, I hope it can inspire you to live a healthy and active life too!
