Chiropractic

Jointworks provides chiropractic, physiotherapy, and massage services in Vancouver.

Custom Orthotics

Custom orthotics provide comfort, support, and pain relief during daily activities.  Our orthotics are low-profile plastic with soft top-covers.

This is the most sophisticated and technologically advanced system available.

Kinesiology

Everyone begins with a Functional Movement Screening to determine your specific needs.

Common areas of improvement include core strength, mobility, balance, and stability. Other common areas of improvement are conditioning, general health, ICBC, and pain free movement.
