Dr. Jon Saunders – Chiropractor in Newmarket

A Personal Journey Into Chiropractic Care

As a teenager, chronic migraines were the reason Dr. Jon Saunders first sought chiropractic care. That experience would ultimately shape the direction of his career.

“I understand what a patient feels like when they are not well because I started out as a patient myself,” says Dr. Jon Saunders. “Experiencing firsthand what chiropractic care could do for me has helped me develop a strong sense of empathy for the patient sitting across from me in the exam room.”

Dr. Jon’s early experience as a chiropractic patient, combined with the clinical experience he gained during his training and internship, fostered the compassionate approach he brings to patient care today.

Today, Dr. Jon is the clinic director of Chiropractic on Eagle in Newmarket, Ontario, where he has been helping patients improve their spinal health and overall well-being for more than two decades.

He received the Lloyd Pennington Memorial Award for achieving the highest overall admissions score for his applicant year.
