We first opened our doors on September 21, 1987 at 15157 Roper Avenue (2 blocks north of our current location). In December of 1996 we moved to an even better location at the historical “5-Corners” in White Rock.
Our professional focus has always been on family-oriented wellness care. Serving others in a bright, beautiful, fun-loving, and non-stressful environment with excellent staff is part of our commitment to you. Our goals include educating all of our practice members about the chiropractic lifestyle (i.e. exercise, nutrition, posture and stress management) so that they can make better, informed decisions about their health and the health of their loved ones.
Our practice member profile is 55% adults (18-65), 20% seniors (65+), and 25% children (0-17). Our oldest practice member is currently 91 (was 93), and our youngest was less than 1 day. Athletes (non-professional and professional) make up 30% of our practice as well.
We use state of the art, hi-tech, equipment in our office to help us make the right decisions regarding your health care needs. This includes a High-Frequency X-ray Generator (which is currently the safest and fastest x-ray system on the market). We also do a series of high-tech tests performed with our Insight Discovery technology which is a certified space technology by the Space Foundation which is a non-profit organization co-founded by NASA. It is the best technology of its kind in the world and we’ve invested in it because we believe that our patients deserve the best there is when it comes to their healthcare. These four tests (Surface Electromyography, Thermography, Inclinometer (range of motion) and the Pulse Wave Profiler) give us an overall rating called the Neuro-Spinal-Functional-Index. This score gives us a “what is the state of your neuro-spinal health” rating.”
We can help you find answers to reducing or eliminating your neck and back pain, headaches, migraines, sciatica, shoulder pain and knee pain, tingling in your hands and feet, restless legs etc. If staying young, reducing stress, having more energy, increasing your performance, and continually improving your lifestyle and quality of life for you and your family are part of your health goals, then please contact our office so that we can get started!
