Dr. Catherine Chu Bio

As a board-certified Chiropractor, you are driven by a passion for helping people return to doing what they love. Your motto emphasizes that if pain is hindering someone from engaging in activities that are important to them, whether it's achieving a personal record in the gym, participating in team sports, taking care of loved ones, or performing their job, you will work together to find a solution. During your academic years, you dedicated countless hours to pursuing your powerlifting goals. This commitment led you to represent Canada in the International Powerlifting Federation's World Championship in Belarus in 2017. There, you achieved remarkable success, winning a Gold medal for the Squat event, a Bronze medal for the deadlift event, and a Bronze overall in the under-23 women's category. This experience not only deepened your understanding of the physical capabilities of the human body but also highlighted the interplay between physical and mental well-being. Outside of your chiropractic practice, you find solace and clarity by riding motorcycles. Exploring new places and meeting new people during long trips on your motorcycle brings you a sense of freedom and adventure. It serves as a means to connect with your own identity and individuality, promoting a healthy work-life balance. As a chiropractor, you advocate for your patients to engage in activities they enjoy, which contribute to their physical and mental well-being while fostering motivation to achieve their health goals. You believe in taking a well-rounded approach that encompasses not only physical care but also personal interests and passions. A significant turning point in your life occurred after the highs of competing at the IPF Championships. Unfortunately, a motorcycle accident resulted in a broken clavicle that required surgical intervention and an extended healing period. Being told that you couldn't continue doing the things that brought you joy was challenging. However, through rehab, exploring your limitations, and progressing in appropriate phases, you were able to redefine your goals and expectations and continue participating in the activities you love, even with modifications. This personal experience has provided you with a unique perspective and deep understanding of the physical and mental impact of chronic pain. You empathize with the frustration and disappointment that can accompany being advised to give up activities that bring joy. Your own journey has instilled in you a profound appreciation for the physical and emotional implications of pain and injury. Your ultimate goal is to help others overcome these challenges, regain their sense of self, and empower them to live fulfilling lives.

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.
