Meet the Doctor

Your Vancouver Chiropractor

Hi I'm Dr. Henry. I used to personally have a lot of low back pain! 

In my early 20's, while in probably the best shape of my life, I bent over to pick something up off the ground... then it happened... low back pain!

I suffered on and off for years!... seriously.

I tried everything... my primary care doctor, acupuncture,  massage, physical therapy, even a traditional chiropractor. No matter what I tried, every few months.... Boom, more low back pain!

While at chiropractic school I also did a concurrent master's in sports and exercise science. That's where I first learned about how to assess and correct someone's function!

By "function" I mean not just staring at "where it hurts" but looking above and below to try and find out where the actual root cause was. 

Are there muscle imbalances? Is another adjacent area of the body moving too much or too little? 

For me, it was my left hip (jerk!).

That lack of motion in my hip caused additional mechanical stress to my low back. That's why I kept hurting my low back over and over, nobody addressed my hip!

That really shaped how I practice chiropractic at my Vancouver office. 

I try and figure out WHY this happened in the first place so your pain doesn't keep coming back!
