Dr. Marco Lozej

I first came to Guelph in 1992 to study Human Kinetics and play varsity soccer and

squash for the University of Guelph. With a fondness for our Guelph community I

am happily still here 30 years later. These days you can find me active in the outdoors

with my family of five, with friends or passionately working as a chiropractor striving to

help my patients be the best they can be.

Professionally I have become one of the country's leading chiropractors for athletes from

the playground to the Olympics.

Through a combination of manual therapy, contemporary medical acupuncture, soft tissue techniques, and education on self-help strategies I meet patients’ needs by treating and proactively preventing injuries with the goal of enhancing performance. I provide chiropractic care to the Gryphon varsity athletes including collaborating directly with the track and field, soccer and hockey teams. I have been the chiropractic provider to the Guelph Triathlon Project and also for Athletics Canada on multiple occasions since 2014.

What can you expect from a chiropractic session?

There is sometimes a misconception that chiropractic care always involves manipulation

and leads to chronic care. I have a variety of diverse treatment tools that can be

incorporated into your care, which may or may not include manipulation, depending on

your condition. I can work successfully with the other disciplines to provide a

comprehensive approach to your health and performance goals.

When facing a sports or activity-related injury, identifying the primary cause is key to

successful treatment. Often pain in one body part is caused by abnormal patterns of

movement involving the body as a whole. I specialize in performing interconnected

functional assessments and then work within them to find solutions.
