About Dr. Demetry

Dr. Demetry graduated from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in 2012 where he earned several academic awards. In 2014, he joined the team at the University Health Network (UHN) Comprehensive Integrated Pain Program at The Toronto Rehabilitation Institute. In this hospital setting, Demetry works with a team of physicians, nurses, occupational therapists and physiotherapists to diagnose and manage patients suffering from persistent pain. He later joined the team at the Pain & Wellness Centre in Vaughan ON, where they provide interdisciplinary pain management to patients of all walks of life, including those suffering from persistent pain.

Dr. Demetry was recruited in 2016 by provincially-funded agencies to educate Healthcare practitioners in their communities on the topic of persistent pain. He continues to teach his course Diagnosis and Management of Chronic Pain for Healthcare Providers across Canada. Dr. Demetry also lectures at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in the department of Graduate Studies on the topic of chronic pain, and supervises residents in the hospital environment learning how to manage chronic pain.

In 2017 he was graciously awarded the Exemplary Service Award by the Ontario Chiropractic Association. When he is not working, Dr. Demetry spends most of his free time with his wife and son, making his wife cringe with his horrible dad puns.

What Patients have to Say

I was referred to Dr. Demetry at the Pain & Wellness Centre for treatment of chronic headaches with which I have struggled for years. I was so impressed with every person on my care team and how personable they were and how easy it was to communicate with them.

Dr. Demetry is an outstanding chiropractor who exceeds expectations. He has a unique skill set and approach to patient care. Demetry is very supportive and motivational and teaches you to believe in yourself again so you can achieve your goals, both physically and mentally. This is especially important in pain management. He is open and honest which allows you, as a patient, to trust in him, furthering your success.

Dr. Demetry is a wealth of information which allows you to progress through your life with confidence and the ability to navigate through pain independently. I am forever grateful that I had the good fortune of working with Demetry and the Pain & Wellness team.

I suffered from chronic pain for ten years. During that decade, I saw scores of doctors, physios, osteopaths, and any other medical professional that I thought might be able to help me live comfortably again. I gave up hope of ever returning to an active lifestyle. I saw Demetry while he was working at the Pain & Wellness Centre in Vaughan, Ontario. He listened to every word I said and focussed his efforts on trying to find what everyone else had missed.

During our first session, he gave me a different diagnosis than I had previously received. With that as a baseline, he worked to resolve the re-identified problem and even more importantly, he helped me work to regain my fitness and active lifestyle. He’s approachable and has a sense of humour too.
