Chiropractic Care

person having lower back adjustedBack or neck pain from long hours at a desk, a ski or hockey tweak, or a stubborn jaw issue can slow you down. At Harbourview Chiropractic & Massage Clinic, you’ll find straightforward, hands-on chiropractic care steps from Canada Place and the Marine Building on the Downtown Vancouver waterfront. Dr. Glen Woodman listens first, explains clearly, and treats with a practical plan that fits your schedule. Same-day appointments and walk-ins are often available, with street and paid garage parking nearby.

What to Expect During Your Visit

Our process is simple and transparent. Your first visit is typically 30-40 minutes; follow-ups are 15-20 minutes. Dr. Woodman walks you through what he’s doing and why, using models and diagrams to explain the biomechanics behind your pain. Dr. Woodman also uses unique seated methods learned in Oxford when lying down isn’t ideal.

Care is tailored, not one-size-fits-all: Diversified adjustments (precise joint mobilization), drop-table techniques (table-assisted, low-force adjustments), occasional use of Activator Methods® (a handheld, gentle impulse), therapeutic ultrasound (sound waves applied to the area being addressed), and Active Release Technique® (hands-on soft-tissue work focused on areas of tension).

What Chiropractic Care Aims to Help With

  • Lower back and pelvic pain from sitting or sport
  • Neck pain, stiffness, and headaches related to posture
  • Sciatica and nerve-related leg pain
  • TMJ pain/jaw clicking, often with neck/posture support

Why Professionals and Active Adults Choose Us for Care
