Relieve pain and illness through skillful adjustments of the spinal vertebrae and joints.
Conveniently located at our Main Clinic in South Surrey.
At Elysian, our approach to chiropractic care is grounded in evidence-based practices. We believe that the best way to help our patients is by using techniques and treatments that are backed by scientific research. Our aim is to provide care that is effective, safe, and tailored to the needs of each individual patient.
To achieve this goal, we begin by creating personalized care plans for each patient. We understand that every person is unique, and their injuries or conditions require a personalized approach. We take the time to listen to our patients, conduct a thorough examination, and develop a plan that addresses their specific needs.
Our Chiropractor’s Holistic Approach
Our holistic approach to chiropractic care is one of our core principles. We understand that the human body is a complex system and that injuries or conditions in one area can affect other parts of the body. Therefore, we take a comprehensive approach to care, considering the whole person and not just the injured area. This approach allows us to not only help our patients recover from their injuries but also to perform to their best and prevent future injuries.
Our Chiropractors Therapy Types
Elysian's chiropractors use a variety of manual therapies to help patients recover from musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. Spinal manipulation is a common technique used to alleviate low back pain, neck pain, and headaches. Active Release Technique (ART) involves applying pressure to specific points on the body while the patient moves the affected area, while Graston Technique uses specialized instruments to massage and stretch soft tissues. Active Rehabilitation and Corrective Exercises are also used to improve strength, flexibility, and mobility.
By offering a range of manual therapies, Elysian's chiropractors can provide personalized care to each patient. The chiropractors are skilled in determining the most effective techniques for each patient, ensuring they receive the best possible care for their specific injury or condition.
Our Chiropractor’s Special Interest Areas
At Elysian, we have a special interest and expertise in several areas of chiropractic care including Concussion Baseline and Injury Assessments, Low Back Pain, Athletic Injuries, Shoulder Injuries, Neck Pain and Injuries, Hip and Knee Injuries and Functional Movement Screens.
Concussion Baseline and Injury Assessment
Our Chiropractor’s have taken extensive and specialized training in concussion care through Complete Concussion Management. We understand the serious nature of concussions and the importance of proper assessment and management. We are able to provide complete Baseline Assessments as well as full treatment and return to play plans for acute concussions and post concussion syndrome. We work closely with our patients to develop a plan that ensures a safe and effective return to activity.
Low Back Pain
At Elysian, we have a special interest in working with those with acute low back pain, chronic low back pain and those with low back pain secondary to disc injuries.

Shoulder injuries are another area of special interest for us. We know how crucial the shoulder is in everyday movements, from reaching for items to lifting weights. Our team is skilled in treating various shoulder injuries and can provide the appropriate care to help our patients recover.
Neck Pain and Injuries
At some point in our lives, most of us will experience neck pain. Neck pain can be caused by a variety of factors, such as poor posture, injury, or underlying health conditions. Regardless of the cause, it can be a significant source of discomfort and can impact daily life. At Elysian, we understand the delicate nature of the neck and the importance of proper assessment and management. Our team of chiropractic doctors is skilled in providing the necessary care to help our patients recover from neck injuries and pain.
Chiropractic treatment is a non-invasive and drug-free approach to managing neck pain that can provide long-lasting relief. Chiropractic care for neck pain involves the use of manual therapies, such as spinal manipulation, to help alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and restore range of motion.
Hip and Knee Injuries
Hip injuries and knee injuries are also areas of special interest for us. These injuries can impact mobility and affect everyday activities. Our team is experienced in treating hip and knee injuries and can provide the appropriate care to help our patients recover.
Functional Movement Screens
We offer screens for athletes to assess basic movement patterns in combination with a Plantiga assessment to guide their training to help performance and injury prevention. Plantiga is a smart insole system that tracks and analyzes biomechanics.
