The clinic's owner is Kitsilano chiropractor Dr. Christian Guenette. His main therapeutic tool is the chiropractic adjustment, but he also uses a variety of manual therapies -- including myofascial and neuromuscular therapies, plus laser therapy for pain reduction and exercise prescription for rehabilitation -- all designed to restore your body's optimum balance and function. Dr. G likes to describe himself as a holistic chiropractor: one who treats not only the pain and imbalance he finds in the body, but also the source of this pain and imbalance -- which can be related to life stressors. Dr. G has conducted decades of research on this topic, and his insights are often the reasons why his patients provide such raving reviews and testimonials.

In addition to Dr. Guenette, we also have two fabulous Registered Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners, Cary Rendek and Dr. Vincent Wang. Last (but definitely not least), we have Shelli Guenette, who serves as our Class IV laser technician and neurofeedback practitioner.
All of our helpful and skilled practitioners provide a perfect compliment to chiropractic care -- helping you relax both your mind and body to maintain an optimal state of health. These services include acupuncture, cupping, Trigenics, Craniosacral therapy and Class IV, deep-tissue laser therapy.

Frequently Asked Questions:
How do you know if a chiropractor is good?
I believe that all chiropractors have good intentions - and that is, to help their patients.
However, like any other health care practitioner, you might look for certain characteristics that will make one better than the other. These are just a few of the criteria you might look for:
Here at Back2Health, Dr. Guenette has over 22 years of experience at his Kitsilano location, treating patients from all over the lower mainland of Vancouver (and beyond).
He prides himself and his associates for receiving top reviews from clients, and commits to maintaining that standard of excellence with you, too.
One of his passions is patient education - and his goal is that no person leaves his clinic with a question remaining in his/her mind about what they came to see him about. And, if he does not know the answer right away, he is committed to finding that answer for you before your next visit.
Dr. Guenette believes that if the body is receiving the right care, it will let you know right away. This is why many patients continue to seek care at Back2Health: they know that their chiropractor will listen to their needs and concerns, he will provide answers, and if he's not able to help his patients get better within a relatively short period of time (depending upon the condition, how long it's been around, etc), then he will refer you to a different health care practitioner that he believes will serve you better.
Dr. Guenette is 100% committed to your health and well-being. Make an appointment, and come experience chiropractic at Back2Health for yourself!
I believe that all chiropractors have good intentions - and that is, to help their patients.
However, like any other health care practitioner, you might look for certain characteristics that will make one better than the other. These are just a few of the criteria you might look for:
- Your chiropractor has more good reviews than bad reviews. Nobody can be perfect. However, when a chiropractor has multiple bad reviews, this might be a sign that they are not paying close enough to the patients' needs.
- Your chiropractor listens to your concerns, and provides answers to your questions. Why is this painful? Can you help with these kinds of conditions? How long might it take to recover? These are just a couple of common questions from patients that chiropractors should be able to provide answers for. And, even if the chiropractor says, "I don't know," that is more honest than providing an answer that is wrong. A good chiropractor will conduct a thorough assessment of your problem, including a history of your symptoms and general health, and then after a complete physical assessment, he or she will be able to provide a diagnosis of your condition and a proposed treatment plan. If any of these components are missing, you might want to seek a second opinion and/or option.
- You feel some improvement within the first few sessions. Although after the first session, sometimes conditions can even be more sensitive than less sensitive, this should not be the trend. Within 3-4 sessions, your body should be able to give you some feedback that you are moving in the right direction. If not, then the type of treatment provided may not be the best option for you. This is true for any treatment modality that you are using. As long as it's trending in the right direction, you're probably on the right path.
- Your chiropractor has experience treating similar conditions to yours. With experience, a chiropractor can give better predictions for your response to his or her treatment. The confidence in levels of expectation for time to recovery, potential side-effects, and helpful exercises and stretches improve with the number of years of experience. If you're unsure where to get started, look for a practitioner who has at least a few years of experience, and has seen a number of patients with the same or similar condition.
