Dr Hillard initially found out about NUCCA after it helped him find relief from headaches. After this experience he earned a bachelor of Science from the University of Lethbridge, followed by a Doctorate of Chiropractic from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport Iowa. Upon graduation he returned to his hometown of Calgary to begin his NUCCA practice, and to offer relief to other Calgarians suffering from headaches without a solution. 

When not in the clinic, he is out biking, skating, hiking, or travelling with his wife Audina and Daughter Astrid. Or in his “down-time” he can be found in the garage fixing up one of his old project cars.
