Dr. Michael J. Chamberland, DC
Doctor of Chiropractic | Sports Medicine
Dr. Chamberland has over 16 years of experience in conservative neuromusculoskeletal care and sports medicine. A native Vermonter, he grew up in the Connecticut River Valley and earned a full academic scholarship to UVM, completing his Bachelor of Science in Nutritional Sciences/Biology with a pre-medicine focus.
Before entering chiropractic school, he worked in Vermont and Colorado’s ski racing industry as an alpine race and conditioning coach. During this time, a serious spinal injury from ice hockey left him with chronic pain, limited mobility, and breathing restrictions. Conventional medical treatment offered little relief, but chiropractic care led to a complete and rapid recovery—an experience that inspired his career path.
He went on to earn his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Western States Chiropractic College in Portland, Oregon, completing elective sports medicine internships treating triathletes and soccer players in both Portland and Sunriver.
After graduation, Dr. Chamberland founded Catamount Chiropractic in Colchester, practicing within The Rehab Gym physical therapy center. Six years later, he joined Gifford Medical Center, where he spent more than a decade at the Sharon Health Center’s multidisciplinary sports medicine clinic, collaborating with physicians, podiatrists, therapists, nurses, and athletic trainers to provide integrated, evidence-based care.
