Chiropractic care in Abbotsford

Assessment and adjustment of the spine and joints to relieve pain, restore movement and support how your body carries load.

What is chiropractic?

Restoring movement where joints have become restricted

Chiropractic care focuses on the joints of the spine and limbs and how restriction in those joints affects pain and movement. Our chiropractor assesses how you move before treating so the adjustment addresses the cause rather than the loudest symptom.

Treatment may include manual adjustment, mobilization and soft-tissue work. Everything is explained before it happens and gentler techniques are available if you would prefer to avoid traditional adjusting.

Good to know, your first visit

Your first appointment is mostly assessment: history, movement testing and orthopaedic examination. If treatment is appropriate, it usually begins the same day. Most extended health plans cover chiropractic without a referral.

Our approach

Techniques your chiropractor may use

Every plan is tailored to you. Depending on your assessment, your treatment may draw on a combination of these.

01

Spinal adjustment

A controlled, specific movement applied to a restricted joint to restore motion.

02

Joint mobilization

Slower, graded movement for patients who prefer a gentler approach.

03

Soft-tissue therapy

Manual work on the muscles surrounding a restricted or painful joint.

04

Drop-piece techniques

Table-assisted adjusting that reduces the force required.

05

Rehabilitative exercise

Specific movements to hold the improvement between visits.

06

Postural advice

Practical guidance for work setups, lifting and sleeping positions.

Does adjustment hurt?

Most people feel relief rather than pain. You may hear a pop, which is simply gas releasing within the joint, it is not bones cracking.

Do I need a referral?

No referral is required for most extended health plans. ICBC and WorkSafeBC claims are also welcome.

Will I need ongoing treatment forever?

No. We set a plan with review points and we will tell you honestly when you no longer need regular care.

Can I be treated if I do not want adjustments?

Yes. Mobilization and soft-tissue techniques are effective alternatives and your preference is respected.
