Vancouver Chiropractors in Kitsilano:
|
Your Kitsilano chiropractors are Dr. Christian Guenette and Dr. Kelsey Horsting. Our main healing tool is the chiropractic adjustment, but we also use a variety of manual therapies -- including A.R.T. myofascial and Trigenics neuromuscular therapies, plus laser therapy for pain and inflammation reduction and exercise prescription for rehabilitation -- all designed to restore your body's optimum balance and function. We are truly holistic chiropractors: we treat not only the pain and imbalance we find in the body, but also investigate the source of this pain and imbalance -- which can be related to life stress, energy imbalances, etc. Together, we have over 30 years of experience in holistic health and healing. This blend of mind and body is often the main reason why our patients provide such raving reviews and testimonials.

Vancouver Class IV Laser Therapy:
|
Your Kitsilano laser therapist is Shelli Guenette.
Laser therapy is the use of focused light (a laser) at very specific wavelengths. It is a non-invasive procedure whereby light energy penetrates the superficial layers of your skin to interact with the injured or inflamed deep tissues of your body. Patients experience increased cellular metabolism, decreased pain, reduction in muscle spasms, improved circulation and reduced inflammation. Conditions that tend to respond well to laser therapy include: arthritis, tendinitis, bursitis, plantar fasciitis |

NOTE: For NEW PATIENTS, the minimum time required for your initial session is 30 minutes.

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:
- 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.
Here at Back2Health, Dr. Guenette and Dr. Horsting have a combined 30 years of experience at this Kitsilano location, treating patients from all over the lower mainland of Vancouver (and beyond).
We are extremely proud for receiving so many 5-star reviews from clients, and we commit to maintaining that standard of excellence with you, too.
One of our passions is patient education - our goal is that no person will leave this clinic with a question remaining in his/her mind about their health and wellness concerns. And, if we do not know the answer right away, we are committed to finding that answer for you before your next visit.
Our doctors believe 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 chiropractors and Dr. TCM will listen to their needs and concerns, they will provide answers, and if they are not able to help their patients get better within a relatively short period of time (depending upon the condition, how long it's been around, etc.), then we will refer you to a different health care practitioner that we believe will serve you better.
Every practitioner at Back2Health is 100% committed to your health and well-being. Make an appointment, and come experience holistic wellness at Back2Health for yourself!
