He is a Chiropractic consultant for a number of Independent Evaluation Facilities and has performed Independent Assessments since 1996.

“The opportunity to learn directly from Dr. Vladimir Janda, MD (Prague School of Rehabilitation and Manual Medicine) in diadnosis and manual treatment provided the foundation for my future clinical practice.”

In conjunction with the YMCA, Dr. Panetta developed the Y-BackTracks Program which certified personal trainers and provided chronic back pain sufferers with a safe, effective transition from onsite rehabilitation in our clinic into a community based exercise and fitness program.

Dr. Panetta is on the Board of the Canadian Society of Chiropractic Evaluators, is certified in the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment (4th), and has been an evaluator at the Workers Safety & Insurance Board Regional Evaluation Centre at the Ottawa General Hospital for a number of years.
