Our Chiropractic Techniques

We use a number of highly-effective adjusting  approaches to help improve spinal biomechanics and reduce nervous system interference. The approach we use is based on our judgment and years of experience.

Massage Therapy

Deep Tissue Massage is a massage technique that focuses on the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, such as tendons and fascia. It aims to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep finger, elbow, forearm or knuckle pressure on the contracted areas. Deep tissue massage helps to break up and eliminate scar tissue, and focuses on more specific areas. It is common to feel some pain during treatment and soreness to last up to 2-3 days.

Why get a Deep Tissue Massage?

Those suffering from repetitive strain injuries and certain conditions may  find deep tissue massage to be quite therapeutic. This technique would be beneficial to conditions such as: Tendonitis (chronic), adhesive Capsulitis (frozen shoulder), carpal tunnel syndrome, muscle cramping and any injury with accompanying acute inflammatory response, or after repetitive stress to soft tissue causing adhesions and scar tissue to develop. Because many toxins are released, it's important to drink plenty of water after a deep-tissue session to help eliminate these toxins from the body.

If you’ve been to a chiropractor before and prefer to be adjusted in a particular way, let Dr Ron Uppal know. We want you to relax, enjoy and fully benefit from your chiropractic care.

Dr Ron Asks some important questions of interest to Burnaby residents - Chiropractor Burnaby Dr Ron Asks...

Will chiropractic adjustments make my spine too loose?
No. Only the spinal joints that are fixated and "locked up" receive attention. The occasional spinal joint that moves too much is passed over so weakened muscles and ligaments can strengthen and heal.
Why do so many drugs require a prescription?
Because they can be dangerous? I chose a chiropractic career specifically because it avoids artificial means of pain relief. Our Burnaby chiropractic practice attracts health-conscious families that prefer a safe and natural solution. Ready to get started? Call our office today.
