Meet Dr. Derek — Where Rehab Meets Real Performance 

Boston Spine & Performance welcomes Dr. Derek Demmans, DC — a former Team Canada Powerlifting member and certified dry needling specialist who doesn't just get you out of pain. He builds you stronger than before. 

Most chiropractic care stops at relief. Dr. Derek starts there and goes further.

After earning his B.S. in Kinesiology from the University of Western Ontario and his Doctor of Chiropractic from Northeast College of Health Sciences, Dr. Derek added certificates in Human Sports Performance and Integrated Dry Needling to his credentials. As a former member of Team Canada Powerlifting, he brings firsthand knowledge of what high-performance bodies need — and what holds them back.

Dr. Derek specializes in sports injuries, back pain, and extremity pain for patients who want more than a temporary fix. His approach combines targeted dry needling with individualized strength planning to address the root cause of your pain and build the resilience to keep it from coming back.

Whether you're a competitive lifter, a team sport athlete, or someone who just wants to move and feel strong in daily life — Dr. Derek's methodology was built for you.

 To introduce Dr. Derek to our community, we're offering evaluations at $50 and 20%+ off treatment packages for a limited time.

Choose the 12-session package plus evaluation for $1,824 (normally $2,280), or the 8-session package plus evaluation for $1,344 (normally $1,680).

**Offer expires April 3, 2026**

If you're ready to stop cycling through temporary relief and start building lasting strength, this is your next step.
