Injury is inevitable. All of us will experience some form of trauma at some point in our lives, be it from a childhood fall, chronic poor posture, repetitive movements, sporting activities or a car accident. Chiropractic treatment can help with these types of injuries by eliminating pain, improving mobility, restoring proper biomechanics, and maintaining optimal nervous system function. Regular chiropractic care can take you one step further – injury prevention and maintenance of an active and healthy lifestyle.
Dr. Houlgrave is a proud member of the College of Chiropractors of British Columbia and the British Columbia Chiropractic Association. His goal as a chiropractor is to help his patients recover from injury, prevent additional injury, and achieve and maintain an active and healthy lifestyle.
