Dr. Kris Belfry BA, DC
Doctor of Chiropractic Medicine
Enerkinetics Practitioner
Clinic extension # 84
 

Kris Belfry was born and raised in Sudbury, Ontario.  At a young age of 13 years old Kris was involved in a severe motor vehicle accident.  It was this accident, which helped bring out his gift in life, helping people to heal themselves.  To pursue this dream he attended Lake Superior State University where he obtained his Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Science.  While in University Kris became interested in natural healing remedies and set his sights on becoming a Chiropractor. 

So, in 1999 he moved to St. Louis, Missouri and attended Logan College of Chiropractic.  There he studied over 15 techniques including acupuncture and kiniesiology.  In December 2002 Kris graduated with a Doctorate in Chiropractic, as well as, a Bachelors Degree in Human Biology.

Always intrigued with natural methods of healing Kris was introduced to a therapy called Esodynamics.  It’s diversity and success in treating all types of ailments interested Kris enough that he pursued certification.  He studied the various types of Esodynamics used today across Ontario and Quebec and practiced the technique for just over two years. 

Kris continued taking various techniques, workshops and seminars from energy healing to emotional therapies and furthered his study in the mind, body, and spirit connection.  This work led him to see the many shortcomings in not only the techniques he practiced but also the various techniques and therapies that exist with our communities.  He began introducing various concepts that he learnt and developed over the years and applied this new technique to his clients and he was amazed at the effective results that his clients were receiving.  So he shared his ideas with his business partner and together they developed a therapy they named Enerkinetics.  Enerkinetics literally means ‘movement of energy’.  They acknowledge that the body’s REAL potential to heal comes from within and they restore that potential within.

Kris joins Sherwood clinic to help serve the community in the GTA.
