Meet the Gilead Healing Center Team

Meet Dr. Jean-Guy Daigneault
 

Having been a chiropractic patient as a child and throughout his 15-year hockey career, Dr. Jean-Guy decided the career was a perfect fit for him as he wanted to help people transform their lives the same way his was changed through this powerful and natural medium.

​

At Gilead Healing Center, Dr. Jean-Guy strives to help his patients live to their full potential. He and the entire team believe that education is very important, and they make a point to help patients better understand exactly how chiropractic care and nutrition can impact their lives. He received his Doctorate of Chiropractic from Life University and has been helping the Lansing community heal for nearly two decades.

​

When he isn’t helping patients in the practice, Dr. Jean-Guy enjoys spending time reflecting with the Lord, his wife (Dr. Denise) and children. Get to know more about Jean-Guy when you book an appointment with us.

I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). My experience includes working with various mental health diagnosis, such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, substance use disorders, behavioral addictive disorders, adjustment disorders, and personality disorders.
