Downtown Vancouver Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractors assess and manage musculoskeletal concerns involving the back, neck, joints, muscles and movement. Your care is based on your history, a physical assessment, your preferences and the activities you want to return to. Treatment can include education, joint mobilization or manipulation, soft-tissue techniques, exercise, ergonomic advice or other options chosen after your assessment.
You won’t automatically receive a spinal adjustment. Your chiropractor will explain the options and ask for your consent before each procedure. If you prefer gentle or non-manipulative care, let us know when you book and again during your appointment.
We’re at 970 Burrard Street, MZ1, in downtown Vancouver, open daily from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM. Choose a chiropractor and an initial appointment in our secure online booking system.
Is chiropractic care the right appointment for me?
Chiropractic care is a good fit when pain, stiffness or reduced movement is affecting your work, sleep, exercise or everyday activity. People often book for back or neck pain, headaches associated with neck symptoms, joint or muscle discomfort, sport-related injuries, repetitive strain, posture-related concerns, or rehabilitation after a motor-vehicle collision.
Your chiropractor will assess whether your concern is musculoskeletal and whether chiropractic care suits your situation. If your history or examination points to something outside chiropractic scope, they’ll recommend another health professional or a medical assessment.
Common reasons people book:
- Recent or persistent back and neck pain
- Shoulder, hip, knee or other joint discomfort
- Muscle strain and activity-related pain
- Headaches associated with neck movement or tension
- Workstation, posture or repetitive-load concerns
- Sport injuries and return-to-activity planning
- Whiplash and other injuries from a motor-vehicle collision
- Questions about low-force care, exercise rehabilitation, laser therapy or orthotics
What happens at your first chiropractic appointment?
- History and goals. Your chiropractor asks about the current problem, past injuries, health conditions, medications, activity and what you’d like to change.
- Physical assessment. This can include observation, movement testing, joint and muscle examination, strength, reflex or sensation tests, and other procedures relevant to your concern.
- Clear explanation. Your chiropractor explains their working assessment, whether treatment is appropriate, the proposed plan, alternatives, material risks and what you can expect.
- Consent and treatment. Treatment begins only after you agree. Options include mobilization, manipulation, low-force instrument-assisted care, soft-tissue techniques, exercise, education or activity changes.
- Plan and follow-up. You’ll leave knowing what to do next, what response to expect, when to come back for reassessment and how your progress will be measured.
Wear comfortable clothing you can move in, and bring any imaging reports or specialist recommendations you have. You don’t need imaging before your visit, and your chiropractor will only recommend it when it’s clinically appropriate.

Dr. Jackson Mann, DC
Dr. Mann completed his Doctor of Chiropractic at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College and has practised in Vancouver for more than a decade. He combines chiropractic adjustments, rehabilitation exercises, Active Release Technique, instrument-assisted soft-tissue work and low-level laser therapy, and works with people managing back and neck pain, sport or activity-related injuries, headaches associated with musculoskeletal concerns and ICBC-related injuries. He also offers orthotics assessments.
Dr. Laura Gronkjaer, DC
Dr. Gronkjaer completed her Doctor of Chiropractic at Palmer College of Chiropractic West, graduating valedictorian with Summa Cum Laude honours. She offers both manual manipulation and low-force Activator care, along with Graston or instrument-assisted soft-tissue mobilization, ergonomic advice and stabilization exercises, which makes her a great choice if you prefer a lower-force approach without traditional twisting or “cracking.” She sees ICBC patients who are existing patients or referrals.
Do I have to be adjusted or hear a “crack”?
No. Manipulation is only one option. Our chiropractors offer low-force Activator care, mobilization, soft-tissue techniques, exercise rehabilitation, education, ergonomic advice and laser therapy. Tell your chiropractor what you’re comfortable with. You can decline any proposed procedure and still have access to other appropriate options.
Safety and when to seek medical care first
Most people have no serious problems after routine musculoskeletal care, though temporary soreness, stiffness, tiredness or a headache can happen. Some procedures carry uncommon but important risks, and your chiropractor will talk you through the risks that apply to your specific procedure and health history before you consent.
Please seek urgent medical care for new facial droop, speech difficulty, a severe sudden headache, new weakness or numbness, loss of coordination, chest pain, difficulty breathing, loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness in the saddle area, fever with severe spinal pain, or serious symptoms after major trauma.
Fees, extended health and ICBC
Initial chiropractic appointments range from $135 to $150, depending on your chiropractor and the length of the visit. Every current rate is on our pricing page.
We submit chiropractic claims directly to your insurer at the time of your appointment when your extended health plan allows it. Coverage, deductibles, annual limits and referral rules are set by your plan. Learn more on our direct billing page.
ICBC pre-approves chiropractic during the first 12 weeks after an eligible crash, and we bill ICBC directly. Before you book ICBC care, please call reception with your claim number so we can confirm your claim, practitioner availability and billing. Treatment beyond the first 12 weeks depends on ICBC’s rules and approval. See our ICBC rehabilitation program for more.
Visiting our clinic
We’re at 970 Burrard Street, MZ1, Vancouver, BC V6Z 2R4, in the Electra Building. Use the Burrard Street entrance marked “Executive Offices.” The Nelson Street entrance is residential and doesn’t connect to our health floor. Take the elevator from the main lobby to the mezzanine level.
Burrard, Granville and Yaletown-Roundhouse SkyTrain stations are all within walking distance. Metered street parking is close by, so check the signs for rush-hour restrictions, and there’s paid underground parking near the Scotiabank Theatre. Our clinic is wheelchair accessible.
The building doors are locked after 6:00 PM on weekdays and all day on weekends and statutory holidays. At those times, use buzzer 001 at the Burrard Street entrance and we’ll let you in.
Chiropractic FAQs
Do I need a doctor’s referral?
No. You don’t need a referral to book chiropractic care with us. Some extended health plans need one for reimbursement, so check your plan’s rules.
Can I request a gentle or non-manipulative appointment?
Yes. Let reception and your chiropractor know you prefer low-force or non-manipulative options, and your chiropractor will talk through the alternatives that suit you after your assessment.
Will I need X-rays?
No, not routinely. Your chiropractor recommends imaging only when your history and examination show it would change your care or help rule out a concern.
Is there a set timeline for improvement?
No. Your response depends on your condition, how long you’ve had it, your overall health and your treatment plan. Your chiropractor will set measurable goals with you and reassess if progress isn’t happening as expected.
Is chiropractic covered by ICBC?
Yes. ICBC pre-approves chiropractic during the first 12 weeks after an eligible crash. Call us with your claim number before booking so we can confirm the right route.
Can you bill my extended health plan directly?
Yes. We submit chiropractic claims directly to many insurers when your plan allows it. Check your annual limit, deductible, referral requirement and the amount paid per visit with your plan.
