Burnaby Chiropractor Dr Ron Uppal

Healthcare, Health and Care.

Being healthy is not only achieving a certain level of physical conditioning and being pain-free, but applying preventative measures to maintain and eventually improve the efficiency of the body's functions. Chiropractic is not only about back pain, but it is a necessary facet of your life just as eating, breathing and exercising are. Chiropractic is a natural, preventative avenue that allows for your body to take care of itself and that is how I define healthcare. My goal is to get you well and then keep you well. Chiropractic and wellness care go hand in hand.

I chose chiropractic as a profession because I believe that the body itself is the most effective healing tool. The body is a very complicated but efficient machine. If we take care of it and maintain it we shall live a healthy life. Our brain controls all the functions of our body through our nervous system, therefore if we keep the nerves functioning properly the body will function properly as well. Having a well aligned spine is the first and most crucial step in this process. I have been an advocate of natural healthcare because I prefer to solve the problem by getting to the source of the problem and not just masking the symptom. Chiropractic is a lifestyle which provides a path to optimal health.

Education

I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology from Simon Fraser University which provided a strong foundation for my graduate Chiropratic studies because it emphasized physiology and motion. I then attended Life Chiropractic College West, located in San Francisco, California. The decision to attend this school was an easy one as the school's philosophy mirrored my beliefs with respect to getting to the source of one's problem. The variety of Chiropratic techniques, that I have learned at Life Chiropractic College West, allow me to apply a specific treatment to different individuals. During my studies, I was amazed at the amount of time we spent taking and analyzing X-Rays. In hindsight, it makes sense as X-Rays are excellent as diagnostic tools to assess the condition of the spine. These two world class facilities gave me the tools to help people with chiropractic.

The Holdom Chiropractic & Wellness Centre

One of my instructors at Life Chiropratic West was lecturing one day and he said, "Remember, chiropractic is just one of the avenues needed to achieve wellness", he also said "Chiropractic is a lifestyle." This philosophy inspired me to open, not only a chiropractic clinic, but a wellness centre. The Holdom Chiropratic and Wellness Centre has different disciplines that all lead to getting a practice member to optimal wellness. One can not just simply get a chiropractic adjustment and think they will stay healthy forever. One also has to consider their diet, excercise program, posture and their lifestyle in general. It is no coincidence that practice members which respond to Chiropractic treatment the best are the ones who consider the whole picture. The best thing anyone can say to me is 'Dr. Uppal now I truly understand what health is and how chiropractic helps me in achieving that." Healthcare is about taking care of the source of the problem, not just the signs and symptoms of the problem.

At Home

I have been married to my beautiful wife, Tina, for over two and a half years. Tina has inspired me to work hard and with passion at everything I do in life. We, at the moment, have no kids but like they say at the movies... COMING SOON. My extended family also lives in the Lower Mainland. One of my favorite passions is sports, playing and watching. I love the NFL, NHL and English Premiership Soccer. I enjoy working out, which I have been doing regularly for the past 13 years, spending time with my nephews and my family. Healthy mind, healthy body.

As a patient I get adjusted weekly and have been getting adjusted regularly for the last 11 years. This has allowed me to reduce stress and feel strong and energetic. It is never too early to start with Chiropratic, for example, I gave my newborn nephew a very light adustment the day after he was born. By keeping the pressure off the nerves from the beginning, the child will live a more healthy and efficient life.

I look forward to meeting you in person and discussing your specific health challenge. Educating one about their problem allows one to heal in a timely and efficient manner. So enough about me!
