Dr. Brian Arthur, Chiropractor, Vancouver, BC

I like people and I am passionate about patients’ orthopaedics, health and wellness. I aim to provide expert diagnoses and treatment programs to establish long lasting recoveries. By thoroughly explaining the nature of problems, advising on how to avoid future ones and  prescribing exercise, I feel that I positively impact patients’ long-term health trajectories. I am also enthusiastic about core flexibility. I teach CoreFlex©, a 15-minute core flexibility and strengthening program. Scientific evidence suggests that having core flexibility slows spinal degeneration and arthritis, which can begin as early as our mid-twenties. I am dedicated to making a difference for my patients and helping to rejuvenate their spine and joints. Post-Graduate Studies: Masters of Science, Epidemiology University of London (2009)   External Resident, Department of Orthopaedics and Pain Management Service, Royal University Hospital (1984 - 1986) Following my four-year chiropractic program, I was accepted (one of 2 chiropractors per year) into a 2-year post-graduate Chiropractic Clinical Science residency program. As an External Resident, I mentored under the auspices of staff orthopaedic surgeons. I performed histories, physical examinations and diagnoses on out-patients in various spine and general orthopaedic clinics. I performed similar duties in the Pain Management Service. A typical day consisted of seeing outpatients at the hospital in the morning and treating patients referred by the orthopaedic surgeons and local physicians in the afternoon at a private clinic. Only 40 chiropractors of 7000 in Canada have received this training.   Chiropractic Clinical Science Residency, Toronto (1983 - 1984)   Chiropractic Studies: Doctor of Chiropractic, Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (1983)   Undergraduate Studies: Bachelor's of Science, Physiology, University of Saskatchewan (1979)     ONGOING PROJECTS The Greater Vancouver-Fraser Valley Practice-Based Research Network: engaging grassroots chiropractors in the enterprise of knowledge implementation and related research.   RESEARCH PUBLICATIONS Bishop PB, Quon JA, Yee B, Arthur B, et al.

It's great that you're considering chiropractic care for various conditions. Chiropractors can indeed provide treatments to address neuromusculoskeletal issues, including those related to scoliosis, hip and pelvis pain, and shoulder arthritis. However, it's important to consult with a qualified healthcare professional, such as a local chiropractor, to determine the most appropriate treatment approach for your specific situation.

For scoliosis, chiropractic care may involve spinal adjustments and exercises aimed at improving posture and reducing spinal curvature. A chiropractor can assess the severity of scoliosis and provide appropriate treatment recommendations.

In the case of hip and pelvis pain, chiropractors can assess the underlying cause of the pain and provide treatments such as spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, exercises, and other modalities to alleviate symptoms and promote healing.

Regarding shoulder arthritis, chiropractors may offer non-surgical treatment options to help manage the condition. These options can include rest, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs), chiropractic adjustments to improve range of motion, corticosteroid injections, and heat/cold therapy. However, the specific treatment plan would depend on the individual's condition and should be discussed with a chiropractor.

Remember, while chiropractic care can be beneficial for many individuals, it's important to have a thorough evaluation by a qualified healthcare professional to ensure that the treatments are appropriate for your specific needs. Consulting with a local chiropractor would allow you to discuss your condition in detail and determine the best course of action.
