Chiropractor, Founder of D+A Wellness Centre

“Chiropractic care kept me playing football when most thought I couldn’t. It has gotten me to where I’m feeling my best self; and I wouldn’t be where I am today without it.”

Born and raised in Ottawa, Dr. Demetri Dalekos played many different sports and developed a passion for hockey and football. Dr. Demetri had a successful football career playing fullback for Team Ontario and the University of Ottawa Gee-Gees, and experienced numerous injuries and surgeries. His background led him to have a keen interest in treating athletes, as well as treating spinal and extremity dysfunction, and myofascial pain.

During his time with the Gee-Gees, Dr. Demetri earned his BSc in Human Kinetics from the University of Ottawa. He then hung up his cleats and pursued his dream of becoming a Chiropractor and graduated from New York Chiropractic College with Academic honours.

If Dr. Demetri is not treating patients, you’ll most likely find him in the gym pursuing his passion for exercise and healthy living.

Originally from Lebanon, Sal launched his first shoe repair business in 1989 while studying Business at the American University of Beirut.

After spending several years in the footwear industry, he developed a growing interest in how specialized footwear can help improve one’s biomechanics and overall quality of life. This passion led him to advance his studies in France, where he pursued prosthetics, orthotics, and pedorthics. In 1994, he graduated from the Prosthetic Orthotic program and went on to establish his own orthopedic clinic in Beirut.

With 14 years of experience already behind him, Sal moved to Canada in 2008, where he earned his diploma in Pedorthics. Since then, Sal has continued to apply his expertise as a Certified Pedorthist to support clients with their mobility and foot health needs.
