He has been very active in the chiropractic profession, serving as President of the Canadian Chiropractic Association, President of the Canadian Chiropractic Research Foundation, Registrar for the College of Chiropractors of Alberta and Chairman of the Commission on Accrediation. He presently serves as Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Northwestern Health Sciences University in Minneapolis.
He completed a 3 Year Fellowship in 2000 in Rehabilitation and is presently working on a second Fellowship program in Occupational Health and Applied Ergonomics. It has been his goal to establish a center for natural health care, with a focus on “back pain” and overall “wellness” with a team of health care providers. Active Back to Health Centre opened in the Chinook Professional Building in 2000 comprising chiropractic, massage therapy, naturopathy, accupuncture, medicine, nutrition, exercise therapy and rehabilitation and counselling.
“No one health care provider or health discipline has all the answers to health and wellness, but, by working as a team, we can be more effective.”
In his out of office time, Dr. Peterson enjoys the outdoors. Weekends will find him either at the lake or in the mountains with family and friends.
David and his wife Nola have three grown children, Brandon, Kyla and Matthew.
