Most patients with back pain will require surgery.

Explanation:

In most cases, back pain will resolve on its own with treatment at home and over-the-counter medications. Some patients benefit from spinal traction, a physiotherapy technique that applies a longitudinal stretch to the reachable joints and soft tissues that is commonly used on the cervical, lumbar spine and thoracic spine. Surgery is not usually recommended.

The clinic was founded in 1989 by Dr. Ron Warkman in downtown Langley as a traditional one chiropractor office.  The practice successfully operated  in this location for 8 years. In 1997 it expanded and moved to its’ current location in the Willoughby/ Willowbrook neighbourhood.

The practice continued to operate primarily as a chiropractic clinic. With the later addition of a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) the practice soon developed into a

multi-disciplinary clinic.  Dr. Warkman continued his work in soft tissue techniques and became certified in the emerging Active Release Techniques  (ART®), later becoming an instructor in ART®.  Proactive Chiropractic & Wellness Centre soon developed a reputation as the clinic local athletes select for treatment.
