About Us

Dr. Sabrina Bercovitch, BSc, DC

In 1988, as a student, Dr. Sabrina’s life changed when she sought the help of a chiropractor for severe shoulder and neck discomfort. Regular headaches and tension in her upper body disappeared, while energy and vitality returned. Two years later, an avid tennis player, Dr. Sabrina injured her right knee and once again, with the help of her chiropractor, she was able to regain her mobility and strength. In 1994 Dr. Sabrina obtained her Honours BSc in Microbiology, and in 1999, she graduated from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College. Dr. Sabrina gives lectures regularly throughout the year on various health topics, and is very passionate about informing the public about the incredible health benefits of chiropractic. She is a highly regarded speaker, and has been invited to be a guest lecturer at the Canadian School of Nutrition and an emcee at the Breastfeeding Challenge. Having had three children and seeing many expectant mothers and children in her practice, Dr. Sabrina has become a well-known authority on pregnancy and pediatric chiropractic care in Ottawa.

Dr. Jason Bercovitch, DC

While studying for a BSc Honours at McGill University, Dr. Jason Bercovitch suffered from debilitating low back pain. Months of medical visits, rehabilitation and pain medication did little to relief the discomfort. Out of desperation, he finally sought the care of a chiropractor. The care he received not only relieved his pain but dramatically improved his life-long battle with asthma, allergies and chest infections. This life-changing experience inspired Dr. Jason to help others who suffered like himself. The following year, he enrolled in the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College. Upon graduation in 1999, he and his wife Dr. Sabrina, moved to Ottawa to work as associate chiropractors which ultimately led to the opening of LiveWell Family Health Centre in 2004. Dr. Jason is caring, compassionate and a model of integrity to his family, patients and community. He has won the "Best Chiropractor" award in the Nepean This Week Readers Poll for 2008/2009 & 2009/2010.

Lisa Ryder, Chiropractic Assistant

After 20 years of working film and theatre, Lisa decided that the move to Ottawa in the spring of 2009 for her husband’s job was the ideal opportunity to expand her skills and build a new career. Like so many people, Lisa only came to know about chiropractic care after waking up one day with debilitating back pain. At the tender age of 25 she could only walk with a cane and couldn’t stand up straight without assistance. Once the initial pain was relieved she found that her overall health improved greatly with regular visits. Since then she has preached the benefits of chiropractic care to anyone who would listen. And now, between regular chiropractic adjustments, the practice of yoga and pilates, Lisa has gained a new outlook on life.
