Meet Dr. Alex Axenov, Chiropractor

A Foundation Built on Challenge

Dr. Alex’s chiropractic journey began early. Growing up in Russia, he was diagnosed with scoliosis and dealt with a number of health challenges as a child. Still, he found plenty of ways to thrive. He did well academically, played chess, and competed in cross-country skiing, even winning at the provincial level. Those early experiences would eventually play a part in the career he chose.

A New Life in Canada

At age 10, Dr. Alex moved with his family to Canada. There was a new school, new friends, new sports, and a completely different life ahead of him. As he got older, he developed a deep appreciation for health and the role it plays in allowing people to enjoy the things that matter to them.

While studying Kinesiology at York University, his interests grew to include active living, nutrition, meditation, yoga, natural approaches to wellness, and human connection.

Finding His Path to Chiropractic

By his early twenties, Dr. Alex knew he wanted a career that combined his interest in health with a natural, whole-person approach to care. Then he experienced his first chiropractic adjustment.

It made an impression and helped point him toward his future profession.

After my first adjustment, I remember thinking, ‘I wish I’d had access to chiropractic care when I was a child.’ That experience stayed with me and became part of what inspired me to become a chiropractor.”

Dr. Alex went on to attend the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College. Throughout his training, he regularly attended seminars and spent time shadowing chiropractors to learn more about different approaches to care. He developed a particular interest in corrective-style chiropractic, with an emphasis on movement, function, and care tailored to the individual.

A New Chapter in Vernon

After practising throughout British Columbia for the past decade, Dr. Alex is ready for his next chapter. He joins Lakeside Align Chiropractic on September 8 and looks forward to getting to know patients and becoming part of the Vernon and North Okanagan community.

When He’s Not at the Practice

Outside the office, there’s a good chance Dr. Alex is on an adventure with his dog, Zeus. He loves shredding fresh powder on the ski hill, heading to a yoga class or sauna, meditating by a lake, and spending time with friends and family, sometimes over a green shot or two.
