Chiropractic
Chiropractic care at Como Lake Chiropractic focuses on restoring spinal alignment and nervous system function through evidence-based, non-invasive techniques. Our chiropractors use diversified adjustments, soft tissue therapies, and rehabilitative exercises to address back pain, headaches, and joint dysfunction. Treatment plans are customised to support natural healing and improve overall musculoskeletal health for patients of all ages.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture treatments involve inserting fine needles at specific points to restore energy flow, reduce pain, and promote systemic healing. Our registered acupuncturists integrate traditional Chinese medicine principles with modern clinical experience to address chronic pain, stress, digestive issues, and reproductive health. Sessions may include cupping or herbal recommendations tailored to individual wellness goals.
Massage Therapy
Registered massage therapy targets muscles, tendons, and connective tissue to alleviate tension, improve circulation, and enhance mobility. Our therapists utilise Swedish, deep tissue, myofascial release, and trigger point techniques customised for injury recovery, chronic pain management, or relaxation. Treatments support nervous system regulation and include home-care education for sustained results.
Custom Foot Orthotics
Custom foot orthotics are precision-crafted inserts designed to correct biomechanical imbalances and alleviate pain from the feet up. Using digital scanning and gait analysis, our team creates supportive devices that address plantar fasciitis, knee strain, and postural fatigue. Orthotics integrate seamlessly with chiropractic and physiotherapy plans for comprehensive lower-body alignment.
Direct Billing & Insurance Claims
We simplify payment by submitting claims directly to most major insurers, ICBC, and WorkSafeBC on your behalf. Our administrative team handles paperwork for auto accident and workplace injury cases, ensuring pre-approved care access and minimising out-of-pocket costs. Patients only cover any remaining co-payments or uncovered portions after insurance reimbursement.
