Dr. Megan Yim is currently at the clinic Tuesdays & Wednesdays.
While the main goal of chiropractic is to relieve pain, it also addresses health as a whole. Chiropractic deals with mechanical disorders of the neuro-musculo-skeletal system, and how these disorders affect general health. Chiropractic is a drug-free, surgery-free, hands-on, natural approach that includes the use of chiropractic adjustment to the spine and other joints.

Chiropractic adjustments are used to restore proper motion/alignment of the vertebra; this in turn has positive benefits to your nervous system. Often restrictions may occur due to strain on the joints or muscles. Strain may be related to many factors, including acute trauma, overuse or improper posture. Joint misalignments may affect how the nervous system communicates between your brain and the rest of your body. As a result, your body no longer moves or functions the way it should. Poor function can lead to pain, stiffness, numbness/tingling, headaches, stress, disability, physiological dysfunction and an overall decrease in health.

UVic Student plans - NO referral required, fees are:
• Undergrad UVSS enhanced plan - 55 minute – $29.20
• Graduate GSS plan - 55 minute – $14 - 1x/yr $10 deductible may apply

Ian is in his 18th year of practicing massage therapy since graduating from Toronto’s Sutherland-Chan School and Teaching Clinic in 2006. He lived and worked in Toronto until moving to Victoria in 2015 via a one year working-holiday in New Zealand. Ian’s experience has taught him that no two patients are alike. He lets each individual’s unique set of symptoms and goals guide his treatments, which always include both relaxation and therapeutic components. Commonly used techniques and tools include: Deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, myo-fascial release, joint mobilization, and postural alignment. When not massaging he can be found drinking coffee, wandering around book stores, and at the park with his family.
