His passion lies in helping patients achieve their unique goals, whether it’s reducing pain, promoting optimal function, preventing injuries, or promoting stress reduction. Expect nothing short of patient-centered care when you step into Eric’s treatment room. The process begins with a thorough but short interview, followed by comprehensive assessment and appropriate orthopedic testing. This meticulous approach ensures a clear understanding of the patient’s limitations, injuries, and the path to a pain free lifestyle. Eric employs a diverse range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques, including deep tissue treatment, neuromuscular therapy, trigger point therapy, joint mobilizations, muscle energy techniques, as well as active and passive release techniques. Regular reassessment is seamlessly integrated into treatments to evaluate the progression of each patient’s recovery. Beyond the treatment room, Eric is committed to the long-term well-being of his patients.

Dr. Andrea Shore has practiced in multidisciplinary sport settings since graduating from the Canadian Chiropractic College in 2013.

She also believes that education is key when it comes to rehabilitating from an injury and returning to activity and she thrives seeing her patients achieve their health and lifestyle goals.

She enjoys working on all areas of the body and patients from all walks of life and especially with those patients who are genuinely interested in getting to the root cause of their pain or dysfunction and being an active participant in making lasting improvements to their health.

Dr. Andrea knows that no two patients are the same and so her treatment plans are designed for each individual and their health goals. She integrates passive care such as myofascial release, Graston and spinal manipulation with the proper active rehabilitation and Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) to achieve the best results possible!

Education: Graduated from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in 2013. Undergraduate studies in Kinesiology, Molecular Biology and Biochemistry and Psychology from Simon Fraser University.

Jeff is a 2017 graduate from Okanagan Valley College of Massage Therapy, following graduation Jeff moved from Kelowna to Coquitlam B.C. to start his career as a Registered Massage Therapist. In Coquitlam, Jeff joined a team of Chiropractors, Physiotherapists, and Kinesiologists where he learned the importance of an integrated healthcare team, constantly collaborating with other professions to keep an open-mind and learning new techniques to go from injury or discomfort back to a healthy, active state.

Jeff was immediately fascinated by active approaches to soft-tissue release and myofascial techniques due to the universal results found from treating all levels of athletes, healthcare professionals, students, office workers and more. Jeff understands that different people need different approaches to their treatments and there is no such thing as a cookie cutter treatment plan for any injury or dysfunction. Throughout Jeff’s personal life he has faced many injuries through the sports of Powerlifting and downhill mountain biking. This included concussions, multiple arm fractures, ligament tears and ruptures, etc. This means Jeff can relate to the frustrations of injury and recovery when it comes to sports and life.

Outside of the clinic, Jeff can be found powerlifting, mountain biking through the many mountains Kelowna and British Columbia have to offer, or at the dog park with his two mini Aussie Shepards, Tucker and Jax.
