Dr. Christopher Garwah Bio

Dr. Chris Garwah graduated from the University of Calgary in 1992 with a Bachelor of Science degree in biochemistry. He received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree in 1997 from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto. After practicing as a locum doctor in Australia and British Columbia for one year, he and his wife, Dr. Nancy Garwah began private practice in northern British Columbia. For 19 years they owned and operated South Peace Chiropractic, with offices in Dawson Creek and Chetwynd. Their wellness based approach committed to helping patients achieve optimal physical, mental, and emotional well being. In this patient centred model, Drs. Chris and Nancy along with their associates had the privilege of helping patients with a wide variety of conditions. Their office witnessed success with traditional musculoskeletal disorders: headaches, neck pain, shoulder injuries, rib subluxations, lower back pain, hip, knee, and foot problems. However, their full spine neurological approach, had success with patients suffering from hypertension (high blood pressure), sleep disorders, colic, ear infections, hyperactivity, constipation, and many other conditions not normally associated with the spine. Having spent numerous vacations in the Penticton area, and its proximity to friends and family, in 2016 he along with his wife and two sons, Jake and John, decided to make Penticton their new home. With its abundance of outdoor recreational opportunities and serene setting, they can think of no better place to call home. Already involved with nordic skiing and cycling, Dr. Chris is loving life in the Okanagan. Dr. Chris Garwah has always had strong ties to the sporting community. Having participated in 1994 World Aquatic Championships in water polo, he recognizes the value of sport, and is committed to its promotion on many levels. In Dawson Creek, his office volunteered numerous hours of care to the local Junior B hockey team. He provided care to the Women’s Olympic Hockey Team and at the World U-17 Hockey Challenge. He was head coach and president of the Bear Mountain Nordic Ski Association, and assumed those same roles in Penticton with the Nickel Plate Junior Racers. One of his joys is early morning swims with the local Penticton Triathlon Club. His associations and interests have helped familiarize himself with many sporting injures and the functional rehabilitation of the athlete. The philosophy of healing from the inside out associated with chiropractic also extends to Dr. Garwah’s belief about environmental stewardship. His office in Dawson Creek was powered by a 4KW solar battery back-up array and as treasurer of Peace Energy Cooperative, he participated in BC’s first large scale wind farm, Bear Mountain Wind.

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.
