A Brief introduction to the Osteopathy Chronic Pain Clinics of Canada

With 333 clinics in 30 countries, the non-profit Osteopathy Chronic Pain Clinics of Canada (OCPCC) is the largest privately owned chronic pain clinic in the world.

Does NAO offer diploma or degree programs?

National Academy of Osteopathy (NAO) is a private Canadian college of osteopathy, with a campus at York University Heights. NAO is not registered as a university and it does not offer any degree programs. NAO only offers diploma and certificate programs in the field of manual osteopathy. None of NAO programs lead to any degrees in osteopathy. NAO programs are not part of any degree programs. 

NAO president, manual osteopath, Dr Shawn Pourgol, MBA, DC, DO, PhD is founder of three universities (National University of Medical Sciences) in USA, Spain and Panama (the one in Panama is not yet operational). NAO is not affiliated with these universities. NAO and these three universities are registered independently of each other in different countries. NAO is operational since 2010. NUMSS (Spain) since 2012. NUMSS (USA) since 2016 and NUMSS (Panama) was registered in 2018 but it is not yet operational. 

Being a student of NAO will not offer an easier way to enrol in any programs offered by these universities. NAO alumni who are interested in applying to any of the degree programs offered by these universities must contact them directly and fulfill their admission requirements. NAO has no information on the degree programs offered by these universities and these universities do not operate at NAO campus in Toronto. The practical technique classes of these universities are located in Panama. 

NAO Student Infected with COVID-19

We were saddened to hear a few days ago that one of our osteopathy students, massage therapist Lavinia Rusu and her teenage child in Georgia, USA have now the COVID-19. She got the infection by a friend who visited her.
She and her child have passed 11 days and are on their way to recovery (thanks God!).
Here is a short video she made about her ordeal.

This is a fact of life now. Just now US passed China and Italy with the most number of COVID-19 in the world.
Please stay safe.
God bless.

Thank you NURSES!

Thank you nurses! Thank you doctors! Thank you all the health professionals who run the hospitals! You deserve to get paid more!

Free Access to Advanced Cranial Osteopathy Course

I have asked National Academy of Osteopathy Canada to give free access to our advanced cranial osteopathy course to my students.

You will have three months to watch the video lectures.

NAO will email alumni with the user ID and password for the online video server.

Please stay safe. Please stay positive. Please enjoy your life. Science and humanity will overcome this health crisis. I am 100% sure of it.

I love you and I pray for you everyday.

God bless.
