Dr. Tyler Linn DC, BHKIN, CSCS

Chiropractors are highly skilled manual therapists with expert knowledge in musculoskeletal health. In British Columbia, they are licensed to treat and diagnose conditions of the spine, joints, and extremities. In Canada, chiropractors are required to complete a minimum of three years of university education, followed by four years at an accredited chiropractic college. A chiropractic program includes over 4500 hours of education emphasizing differential diagnosis, patient centered care and research. An additional 1500 hours of supervised clinical practice must be completed before completing national and provincial board exams. Chiropractors are well trained to determine if a condition will respond to chiropractic treatment or if it requires a referral to another health care provide.

Custom Orthotics
Dr. Tyler Linn DC, BHKIN, CSCS

For certain foot conditions a custom orthotic can be used to increase comfort and reduce pain by providing further stability and support. A chiropractor is trained to evaluate your foot and give you advice on whether an orthotic is appropriate for you.
A custom orthotic is a device designed to align, stabilize, and support the foot and ankle to to place the foot in a better position to reduce strain and discomfort. They look like insoles, but are biomechanical medical appliances that are custom made to correct your specific foot imbalance. Custom orthotics work on your feet much like glasses work on your eyes – they reduce stress and strain on your body by bringing your feet back into proper alignment. Custom orthotics fit into your shoes as comfortably as an insole – and they have the advantage of having been made from precise imprints of your feet.

Acupuncture Services

Acupuncture, an ancient practice rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, has gained significant recognition and popularity worldwide for its numerous health benefits. By stimulating specific points on the body with thin needles, acupuncture promotes the flow of energy, known as Qi, throughout the body. This holistic approach to healing has been proven effective in treating a wide range of conditions, including chronic pain, stress, anxiety, insomnia, digestive disorders, and even fertility issues. One of the key benefits of acupuncture is its ability to alleviate pain by triggering the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers. Additionally, acupuncture has been found to regulate the nervous system, reduce inflammation, and improve blood circulation, aiding in overall well-being. Moreover, this ancient practice offers a safe and drug-free alternative to conventional medicine, with minimal side effects. Whether used as a standalone treatment or in conjunction with other therapies, acupuncture has shown remarkable results in improving both physical and mental health, making it a valuable option for those seeking natural healing and wellness.
