Dr. Alfredo Petrone

BHSc (Hons), DC

Hi! I’m Dr. Alfredo and my passion is helping people understand how health works in their body. It’s not just about alleviating pain and symptoms but rather creating an optimal environment for healing.

I started my long haul of post-secondary studies at the University of Ottawa where I graduated with an Honours degree in Health Sciences. It was here that I found my love for health, the nervous system and ultimately chiropractic. I then moved to Toronto to get my Chiropractic degree. Shortly after graduation I moved to Nanaimo where I joined a clinic and built up a great practice with some awesome people! But something was missing. I made the decision to make a big move to Vancouver in the spring of 2018. A year and a half later I created Coastal Life Chiropractic as a way to use all my knowledge, skills and experience to best serve my community.

I am a lifelong learner constantly reading and taking course work in the areas of Neurology, Nutrition, Movement and health. I’m an avid Crossfitter and enjoy pushing myself physically and mentally. All of this would not have been possible with out my beautiful Bernese Mountain Dog, Lucy. She has been with me since 2013 and remains a constant joy in my life!
