Frequently asked questions
Our team will make you comfortable from the moment you arrive. We'll review your health history and conduct a thorough consultation along with a comprehensive physical examination, computerized nervous system scans, and x-rays if necessary. Our doctors will then prepare a personalized report with an individualized action plan to get you the best results.
Every person is different. Some people only need short-term care for relief, while others with more complex or long-standing issues may choose a longer care plan for lasting improvement. After your examination, the doctor will review your findings, discuss your goals, and recommend the best plan for you — with full transparency on visits and fees before you begin.
We offer a New Patient Special that reduces our regular Comprehensive Neuro-Spinal Assessment down to just $97 — including a full consultation, examination, computerized nerve testing, x-rays (if required), and a report of findings. Regular office visits range from $65–$80 depending on your care plan. We also offer family rates — ask about these in-office!
No referral is needed. You can book directly online or call us at (250) 868-4880. We welcome new patients of all ages and will guide you through everything you need for your first visit.
Yes! We have a special focus on gentle chiropractic care for pregnancy and children. We use specialized tables and pillows for your comfort, and our doctors are trained in safe, focused adjustments for pregnant women, babies, and children of all ages.
Our care addresses nerve interference that can contribute to pain, high stress, fatigue, poor sleep, reduced mobility, and recurring illness. By supporting spinal alignment, muscle balance, and nerve communication, patients often experience pain reduction alongside better energy, mental clarity, sleep quality, and overall function.
Beyond precise, life-stage-specific chiropractic adjustments, we offer Class 4 Laser Therapy, Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy, a Certified Peripheral Neuropathy Treatment Protocol, and hands-on massage and bodywork — all guided by thorough evaluations to support your long-term function and well-being.
Yes. Our doctors commonly help patients recover from sports injuries, motor vehicle accidents, and other physical injuries. Chiropractic care restores proper spinal and nervous system function, reduces pain, and supports the body's natural healing so you can safely return to your normal activities.
