Chiropractor Dr. Richard Poon
A friend who saw a chiropractor encouraged Dr. Poon to have his first adjustment. Though he wasn’t experiencing pain, Dr. Poon was amazed by how good he felt afterward. The holistic approach that chiropractic care offered resonated with him. Dr. Poon liked that it was a drug-free form of health care.
Interested in learning more, he found out about the philosophy of chiropractic. Dr. Poon then decided to pursue a career in the profession. He earned a Bachelor of Science from the University of Waterloo.
Obtaining a Chiropractic Education
After his graduation, Dr. Poon enrolled in Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto. There, his education was similar to that of a medical doctor. The difference? His chiropractic education emphasized preventative medicine. So he can best serve his patients, Dr. Poon takes regular continuing education courses. The training he has undertaken includes studies in the following:
- Activator Methods®

Enjoying an Active Lifestyle
Dr. Poon was born and raised in Calgary. He enjoys exercising at the gym and going for runs. In his spare time, you can find him reading, spending time with his family, or traveling in Canada and the U.S.
Helping Others Get on the Healing Path
From caring for a young patient who sustained a sports injury to adjusting a senior with chronic back pain, Dr. Poon loves helping patients of all ages at Windermere Chiropractor & Physiotherapy Clinic. He finds it rewarding to help them get better. Dr. Poon also is gratified when patients refer their friends and family to him. “That tells me I’m doing something right.”

Chiropractor Dr. Mark Johnston
I have had a personal interest in sports and fitness since a young age and have made being active and healthy a priority in my life.
My athletic endeavors and own personal experience seeking treatment from a chiropractor have helped me understand and appreciate the important role that chiropractic care plays in both injury prevention and treatment.
For this reason, I decided to attend D’Youville college to become a chiropractor after graduating from the University of Alberta with a Bachelor of Science degree in 2013.
In the years since deciding to attend college I have dedicated myself to learn as much as I can about the treatment of pain and I employ a mixture of treatment styles including spinal manipulation, manual release technique, instrument assisted soft-tissue mobilization (IASTM), and Activator®.
Outside of the office, I enjoy woodworking, hiking, camping, and spending time with my wife and son.
