Your chiropractor in Amsterdam
Hello, I’m Francis – a chiropractor since 2003 with a passion for natural health, recovery, and personal growth.
​
I believe that true health is more than just the absence of symptoms. It’s about resilience, balance, and the confidence that your body has the innate ability to heal.
A Holistic Vision on Health
At Optimum Chiropractie, in the heart of Amsterdam, I help people live healthier, more energetic, and more balanced lives through gentle and focused chiropractic adjustments that support the nervous system.
​
My approach is always holistic, vitalistic, and rooted in deep respect for the body's self-healing capacity. I believe every body possesses inner potential; my role is simply to help activate it.
About Me – Francis Durocher
I grew up in a small town in Northern Canada, surrounded by forests, lakes, and nature. This early connection to the outdoors deeply shaped my view on health.
​
When my father was diagnosed with MS at a young age, I began a quest for a healthier lifestyle and a different perspective on care. I wanted to go deeper, to the core of well-being. This led me to chiropractic: an approach that is natural, preventative, and forward-looking.
​
Since then, chiropractic care has been part of my daily life – alongside healthy nutrition, movement, and meditation. To support my vitality, I also practice regular fasting. In my free time, I enjoy reading, archery, or enjoying nature during walks with my dog. I also love getting out on the water with my paddleboard to stay physically and mentally balanced.
Education and Experience
I graduated in 2003 from the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières and gained extensive work experience in Canada and France before settling in the Netherlands. To deepen my knowledge of the human body, I completed postgraduate studies in Functional Neurology at the Carrick Institute.
​
Since 2007, I have proudly called Amsterdam my home – a city where I live and work with great pleasure, seeing daily how chiropractic care improves my clients' quality of life.
Why I Do What I Do
I believe everyone has the right to a life of movement, freedom, and fulfillment. Children deserve a strong and healthy start. Adults should be able to keep growing, stay active, and live meaningful lives for as long as possible.
​
I am grateful every day for what chiropractic has meant for my own health, and I feel privileged to guide others on their path to a more vital life.
