Dr. Vivie Bojilov

Dr. Bojilov is a sports chiropractor dedicated to providing exceptional patient-centered, evidence-based care for musculoskeletal pain. He is specifically proficient in the use of patient education, manual therapies, and functional rehabilitation.

Dr. Bojilov grew up in Vancouver and completed his Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology at UBC, where he also played varsity football.

He then moved to the San Francisco Bay Area to attend Chiropractic school, during which he was involved in assisting many local sporting teams/events within the area such as the North Face Endurance Challenge, San Jose State Rugby, the former NFL Oakland Raiders, Sea Otter Classic and many more.

After completing his last year of clinical rotations throughout various clinics in the US from Alaska to Florida, Dr. Bojilov worked at Stanford School of Medicine, Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine to help publish new research regarding cervical spine MRI segmentation.

Thereafter, Dr. Bojilov returned to full time clinical practice in 2020 and is now extremely excited to finally be back home to provide his community with the highest level of evidence-based care musculoskeletal care.

During his free time, Vivie loves to climb and go adventuring with his pup Grizz.

>Our journey began out of the clinical frustration that the people most in need of high-quality musculoskeletal care typically see their chiropractor or physiotherapist after they have given up trying to handle the pain or dysfunction themselves. This results in further encouraging the fear-avoidance model of pain and ultimately leads them to a much higher probability of chronic pain.
