As per the Province of BC, wearing of masks in public indoor settings is not required by public health. However, if you wish any of our practitioners or staff to wear a mask during your visit, please ask them to do so. We will willingly respect your level of comfort.

Notice to Patients - Covid-19
2020-06-21 Update

Now with recent announcements from the premier and Dr. Bonnie Henry, we have been given permission to begin to resume more normal (non-urgent) in-person patient care in a way that continues to promote safe care to patients and continues to prevent the spread of the virus.  

Please note: our office never did close. As essential care providers, our chiropractors continued to treat Urgent/Acute and Essential care patients as per the PHO’s and CCBC’s guidelines. Therefore, we have been safely treating those patients over the past 8 weeks. 

As this new normal is being defined, practitioners will continue to conduct business and attend to physical environments to ensure best infection and prevention control practices stay in place. In addition to our chiropractors, our physiotherapists, massage therapists, acupuncturists and naturopath are accepting patients.

Please phone to check when your specific practitioner will be working; for as to comply with the gradual resumption of business, we have staggered practitioners hours, days etc. to keep the flow of patients at a more reduced pace. 

As a patient, we ask that you continue to seek up-to-date information and instructions regarding your own assessment for COVID-19. To that end, please visit the BCCDC website for information on Self-Assessment Support and Lab Testing.

Our Health and Rehabilitation Facility

Please note that our Health and Rehabilitation facility is open only for appointments with our kinesiologists. General health club membership remains closed until further notice. Please call 250-390-2003 or email [email protected] for updated information.

Reviews By Our Satisfied Patients

  • The staff are exemplary and amazing. You feel that you are part of the family. I have been in laser therapy for quite some time and feel like it’s improving and hopefully, completely gone. Dr. Ben (Clark) really assesses the patient, not like a bim bam boom thing. He really examines the patient and analyzes the best treatment for the patient. Staff are approachable and not intimidating. If I had known of the clinic a few years ago I would have definitely come here for treatment. What amazes me

  • Dr. Brown has been my chiropractor for more than 5 years, for firm intense shoulder pain to spine, he always manages to find relief; if not immediately, he won’t stop until it’s 100% cured. I have referred a lot of my friends and bosses to Derek Brown because I trust him.

  • After much hounding and nagging from my loved ones, customers, and coworkers – I decided to give Woodgrove Pines a try. 1st visit to book my appointment was the biggest challenge (I guess you can say I procrastinate when it comes to taking care of myself). 2nd visit, Dag (Ronhovde – Physio) gave me tools to be a stronger, better me. I’ll be back, teaching client’s how to better manage and use what our moms gave us – How can one deny such an offer? Thank you for giving me tools to l

  • Friendly, professional and helpful staff at reception. All staff willingly answer questions and deal with concerns in a knowledgeable, supportive manner. Cameal (Sinclair – Physio) has a beautiful way of making patients feel comfortable and at ease. She explains what she is doing and why and addresses each concern/question thoroughly. Mike (Joyce-RMT) efficiently responds to my concerns and provides suggestions to help on my recovery.

    - Jillian M.
  • I love that Woodgrove Pines offers a wide range of care options – I regularly see a chiropractor, RMT and acupuncturist, and the ability to do it all in one place is fantastic. It makes getting to know my “team” so much easier, not to mention how much less complicated scheduling is! They’ve supported me through various athletic goals, injury recovery and pregnancy. I am thrilled with the service I receive on a (super) regular basis and would recommend Woodgrove Pines to anyone looking

  • I would like to thank Mark (Erickson) and Mike (Joyce). Over the past few years I have struggled with back pain and a knee injury due to my active life style. Mark has gone above and beyond, he was able to recommend the treatment I needed along with chiro to get me where I am today. It’s more than just a business or job for Mark, he treats you like a close friend which is very comforting.

  • Staff was amazing, this is going to be my fourth chiro/laser. I feel a lot better. My leg is starting to be normal again as I had a brutal tailbone injury. I am more comfortable sitting/standing. My injury is getting better daily. My mom referred me, as my father and herself both see Dr. Erickson too.

  • I have had the opportunity to work with Dr. Stacey Scott. She not only listens to you…but gets results…unlike others in her field if you tell her it hurts she approaches from another angle… I especially am getting results from the combination of chiropractic and laser therapy. Thank you.

  • Over the years this is the best chiropractic treatment I have had. It keeps me mobile. The staff are so nice and it is a pleasant experience to be here.
