Chiropractor
Aaron D’Amico, DC
My journey began growing up in a chiropractic family where my father (Dr. Kevin D’Amico) also practiced Chiropractic Care here in Calgary. Being brought up in this type of atmosphere, the health and wellness path caught my eye.
When I was a young boy, as boys do, I had several injuries. Lucky enough for me, my dad was there to take care of me during these crazy times. As I grew older and saw the health benefits that chiropractic provided I knew this was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. This is how and why I chose to become a chiropractor and and led me to practice in Calgary.
I feel the best way to achieve a healthy lifestyle is to follow a C.R.E.A.D., this means Chiropractic treatment, adequate Rest, regular Exercise, a positive Attitude and a healthy Diet.
When I is replaced with we even illness becomes wellness.
- Dr. Aaron D’Amico

Office Administrator
Patricia (Patty) S.
I grew up and finished my Education in Ft McMurray, AB. I knew I always wanted to go into the Health Care Industry from a young age; I had a feeling that I was meant to help people. I came to Calgary in 1984 as I fell in love with the city when I came here to play baseball. I've never looked back since.
I have held various administrative positions, but it was not until I started working with Dr. DJ LeDrew D.C. at Full Potential Chiropractic in 2011 that I fully understood what I was meant to do.
I worked for Dr. DJ LeDrew D.C. until 2015 when I took a break due to personal reasons. I came back in August of 2024 and love the fact that I get to help people every day on their Wellness journey. I am divorced with a son and 2 foster daughters. I love spending time at my parent's farm surrounded by horses, mountains, and peace and quiet. My cats, Nala & Oreo are the only babies at home now, but I live across the hall from my daughter, so I am never truly alone. I have adorable grandchildren and a life I love, working in this industry is just a bonus and I wouldn't change it for anything.
