Services & Techniques

At Mission Family Chiropractic, we take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic care to our patients. Below is a sampling of the different chiropractic services we offer in our Kelowna office.

Chiropractic Care

We provide advanced spinal correction utilizing "state of the art" chiropractic techniques. Never in the history of chiropractic have we been able to provide the level of help and expertise that now exists. These newer correction methods are even safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. As a Doctor of Chiropractic, Dr. Tim Wood has years of training and experience in spinal adjustment.  Dr. Wood uses very advanced chiropractic tables that use pneumatic drop pieces to get great results with more gentle and comfortable adjustments than what most people are used to.  This is especially important for children.  Our approach results in children running to hop on the table for their adjustment rather than being scared or intimidated.

Dr. Wood also utilizes structural corrective care where underlying damage from years of misalignment including degeneration and arthritis are analyzed using X- rays.  The curves of your spine are assessed and monitored and specific adjustments and exercises are used to help your body.  This type of care can stop degeneration and arthritis from advancing further, and can even result in your body healing the damage if it is found in the early stages.  Re xrays have shown incredible results with this type of care and more importantly, patients health improves dramatically.

Corrective Exercises

We teach our patients special "blueprint" exercises to help strengthen and correct their own unique problem. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of your own home and can improve the effectiveness of your spinal correction. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be strained by improper alignment for years. Specific exercises and stretches can help your body stay in balance and in health and help your body correct structural problems much faster.

Lifestyle Advice

Dr. Wood writes a health article every week for patients so that he knows patients understand their chiropractic care well but also know what lifestyle will result in optimum health and results. He also has advanced health workshops where different health topics are discussed in great detail.  Our goal is to help every patient achieve a fulfilling and happy lifestyle full of the activities they enjoy, that will lead them to a long healthy life. We recognize that each our patient is a whole person, and help them reach true health and wellness is a collaborate effort. 

Nutritional Counseling

We provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices to enhance our patient´s return to optimal health. Do you know which supplements and vitamins are good for you? This is part of our weekly health articles and advanced workshops

Spinal & Postural Screenings

Posture and spinal screenings can reveal important health information and unlock the door to improved health and well-being. We donate our time to provide screenings at community events, health fairs and places of employment so people can find out whether their posture is indicating that problems are building up that could be corrected. Contact us today to arrange a screening at your event or workplace.

Workplace Workshops

Dr. Wood volunteers his time to educate our community and help move people towards living the lives we are meant to live.  To combat the billions of dollars spent on advertising in hopes of making you choose unhealthy foods or health choices, we try to give people a basis of understanding what they need to truly be healthy.  Various topics have been discussed ranging from lifestyle topics, nutrition, posture and health, ten steps to raising healthy happy kids, uniting your faith and your health, and many more.  The feedback we get from these workshops confirms that in an hour we can truly change someone's health choices.  Contact us today to arrange a workshop at your workplace.
