CHIROPRACTIC
Spinal and joint care that moves with you.
Evidence-informed chiropractic: manual therapy plus the rehab work that holds the change.
OVERVIEW
What is chiropractic care?
Launch Rehab chiropractors work inside an integrated plan rather than as a stand-alone repeated appointment. Chiropractors in BC are regulated by the College of Complementary Health Professionals of BC (CCHPBC) and focus on the assessment and treatment of the spine, joints and the muscles around them through manual mobilization, adjustment, soft-tissue technique and exercise.
At Launch Rehab, chiropractic is a treatment tool used inside an integrated plan, not a recurring appointment for life. Your chiropractor will assess the joint and movement issue, treat it with the technique that fits, and pair the visit with the exercise side that keeps the change.
We commonly treat low-back pain, neck and headache presentations, mid-back stiffness, and post-crash injuries through ICBC.
BENEFITS
What this work is for.
- Improve spinal and peripheral joint mobility
- Reduce mechanical neck, back and headache pain
- Address post-MVA stiffness and movement loss
- Support return to lifting, sport and work
- Combine with physiotherapy and RMT under one roof
WHAT TO EXPECT
Your session, step by step.
Assessment
History, movement testing, neurological screen and any imaging review you bring with you. We will tell you when an adjustment is the right tool, and when it is not.
Joint mobilization
Hands-on joint mobilization or adjustment, calibrated to what the joint can tolerate today. No-cavitation techniques used for any client who prefers them.
Soft-tissue work
The muscle and fascial layer around the joint is part of the picture. Most sessions include focused soft-tissue release alongside the mobilization.
Exercise prescription
A short, specific exercise plan to load the joint correctly between visits. Without this side, manual care is short-lived.

KIND WORDS
What our clients say.
"After seeing different physiotherapists and chiropractors for over 10 years, I can confidently say Byron is one of the best physiotherapists I’ve worked with. From my very first appointment, he established that the goal wasn’t just to treat my pain temporarily, but to build a strong foundation so my back could heal properly for the long term. He took the time to thoroughly assess my condition and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. For the first time, I truly understood why I was experiencing my symptoms and what the recovery process would look like. What really sets Byron apart is how thoughtful and patient he is. He always explains the purpose behind every exercise and how each one fits into my recovery plan. If an exercise feels too difficult or aggravates my symptoms, he genuinely listens to my feedback and quickly modifies the exercises so I can continue progressing safely. I never feel like my concerns are dismissed, and I always leave each session feeling informed, heard, and supported. After just one month of following his treatment plan, I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my back pain, strength, and confidence with movement. Although recovery will still take time, it’s been incredibly encouraging to regain a sense of control and independence in my daily life. It’s reassuring to see real progress after struggling with recurring back issues for so many years. Another thing I really appreciate is the teamwork at the clinic. If I’m unable to see Byron for one of my appointments, he collaborates closely with the another physiotherapist (Harleen) and thoroughly communicates my condition, treatment progress, and goals. Because of this, I never feel like I’m starting over with someone new. It’s reassuring to know I’ll receive the same high quality of care regardless of who I see. Overall, I’ve had a positive experience at Launch Rehab. If you’re looking for a physiotherapist who takes the time to educate you, creates a personalized recovery plan, and genuinely invests in your recovery, I highly recommend Byron. The quality of care I’ve received has been exceptional, and I’m incredibly grateful for his help."

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
When practiced by a regulated chiropractor inside scope, yes. We screen for the small set of presentations where manipulation is contraindicated and choose the technique that fits the joint and the client. If you would prefer not to be adjusted, mobilization-based techniques achieve similar outcomes.
