Why Choose Chiropractic Care
The primary goal of chiropractic care is to support and enhance the patient’s overall health by improving joint mobility, reducing soft tissue dysfunction, and promoting optimal nervous system function—primarily through chiropractic adjustments and complementary therapies. Treatment often targets areas of restricted movement or soft tissue injury, particularly in the spine, which can lead to inflammation, muscle tension, nerve irritation, and pain.
Chiropractors are also trained in a variety of advanced supportive therapies, including Cold Laser Therapy, SoftWave Therapy (a non-invasive regenerative treatment using sound waves to stimulate healing), and Kinesio Taping (commonly used in sports and rehabilitation to support muscles and joints). These therapies aid in pain reduction, tissue repair, and improved mobility.
In addition to hands-on treatment, chiropractors play a proactive role in health promotion by providing guidance on exercise, nutrition, and lifestyle modification.
They are skilled in assessing, diagnosing, and managing conditions involving the neuro-musculoskeletal system, especially those affecting the spine and extremities. Care focuses on rehabilitation, symptom relief, and where possible, prevention—delivered through a holistic, drug-free, and non-surgical approach.
Chiropractic Adjustment
Chiropractic manual therapy, primarily utilizing manipulation otherwise known as adjustment, is one of the safest choices for treating neuro-musculoskeletal disorders such as neck, back pain and headaches. An adjustment is a carefully directed and controlled movement to restore spinal mobility.
Chiropractors treat not only the pain but also the condition causing it, to prevent future problems.
First Visit
Every patient undergoes a one-on-one consultation with the Chiropractor on their first visit. The Chiropractor and patient will review the patient’s health and medical history, and questions and concerns raised during the visit.

Education and Training
Doctors of Chiropractic are uniquely qualified to address neuromuscular and musculoskeletal dysfunctions, with extensive education, specialized training, and hands-on experience that often surpasses that of other healthcare disciplines in these areas.
At StudioHealth – ChiroWorks, our goal is to educate and empower our patients, helping them understand that many conditions and injuries commonly brought to general practitioners can often be more effectively treated by our experienced team of chiropractors and allied health professionals.
Research on Chiropractic Care
The 1993 Manga Report, an independent study based on analysis of scientific research on low-back pain in Ontario, Canada, recommended that management of low-back pain be undertaken not by medical doctors, but by doctors of Chiropractic, who receive intensive education about specific spinal problems.
An April 2000 Ipsos/Reid survey revealed that “half of Canadians have by now used complementary health care at some point in their lives and chiropractic is clearly the most popular choice. Six in ten Canadians who have ever used a non-conventional medicine or practice have gone to a chiropractor and 11% of Canadians visit a chiropractor regularly. (Alternative Medicines and Practices. Canadian Lifestyles II. Ipso/Reid. 2000 July/August; 15(4): 85-93
Custom Cast Orthotics
Did you know that the pain you experience in your back, hips, knees, ankles or feet may be due to structural problems in your feet?
Your feet are a complex system of 52 bones, 66 joints, 214 ligaments and 38 tendons and muscles. This makes up 25% of the bones in your body. Even a small problem in your feet can impact and stress your body. This stress accumulates with every step you take. For many people, pain may start from the ground up. After a thorough gait analysis and evaluation we can determine if Prescription Orthotics can help.
Gait Scan
The Metascan System mat goes above and beyond traditional gait analysis devices, assessing bilateral pressure distribution during the static stance, as well as capturing dynamic function when a patient is walking or running. One can also use the Metascan System mat to obtain a postural scan to observe the patient’s postural movement over time.
In addition to scanning patient gait, the Metascan mat creates a Dynamic Gait and Pressure Analysis Report. The report contains 2D and 3D color graphics and images measuring kinetic pressure, gait abnormalities and the vertical load in the most important segments of the foot (lateral heel, medial heel, five metatarsal heads and the hallux).
Insurance Coverage
Many Extended Health Plans cover fees for chiropractic services and orthotics. Your employer will be able to supply you with this information.
The Workers Compensation Board will provide coverage for office visits and x-rays for work related injuries. Injured persons should consult their doctor of chiropractic immediately upon injury.
ICBC coverage is provided for office visits and x-rays for injuries resulting from motor vehicle accidents. For more information, contact our office or your ICBC adjuster.
The Medical Services Plan of British Columbia (MSP) provides coverage for people on premium assistance (individuals or families with combined revenues less than $24,000 and adults over the age of 65).
Chiropractic
The primary goal of chiropractic care is directed towards maintaining, improving, restoring or enhancing the health of the patient through the use of chiropractic adjustments and related therapies. Treatment is often directed to areas of soft tissue injury or decreased movement in the joints of the body, particularly the spine, which can create a reaction in surrounding tissues (ligaments, muscles, and nerves) resulting in pain, dysfunction and muscular spasm.
Chiropractors are also trained to utilize other therapies, including Cold Laser Therapy (physical therapy) and Kinesio Taping (sports taping). Additionally, Chiropractors encourage health promotion through exercise, dietary and nutritional counselling, and lifestyle consulting. Chiropractors assess and diagnose disorders and dysfunctions of the neuro-musculoskeletal system related to the spine and extremities and provide treatment, rehabilitation and, where possible, prevention of those disorders. This holistic approach is done without the use of drugs or surgery.
