Meet Dr. Paul Taillefer
Lightbulb Moment
Dr. Paul Taillefer didn’t grow up wanting to become a chiropractor. He worked for a consumer packaged goods company and, after several years there, developed a kink in his back. His father, who was interested in natural healthcare, suggested he visit a chiropractor. Dr. Taillefer was skeptical but decided he had nothing to lose, so he went. After his first adjustment, he felt great. He began receiving care regularly and, after a couple of years, he knew he wanted to help others in the same way that he had been helped.
Education
Dr. Taillefer completed a B Soc.Sc. Degree at the University of Ottawa and later pursued a B Sc. in Applied Chemistry and Biology prior to successfully completing the Doctor of Chiropractic Program at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC) in Toronto.
After graduating, he settled in Ottawa and opened Motion4Life with the mission of helping patients in the downtown area achieve optimal health.
