Dr. Ian Boonstra, Chiropractor, Vancouver, BC

Dr. Ian Boonstra DC, ART, CSCS Chiropractor, Clinic Director Dr. Ian Boonstra completed his undergraduate studies at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario before achieving his Doctorate in Chiropractic from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto. He was licensed in Australia and Ontario, prior to establishing his practice in British Columbia. He has been providing services in Vancouver at Thrive Chiropractic Sport and Spine (formerly Thrive Wellness Integrated Health Centre) since 2005. Dr. Boonstra believes in a holistic multi-modal approach to therapy, whereby the use of manual therapy (including soft tissue therapy, spinal manipulations, and joint mobilization) is used in conjunction with pain education, rehab exercises, and movement patterns to improve a patient’s function and performance, in order for them to return to a pain free state and enjoy the things they love to do. He assesses the body as a whole with any injury and firmly believes in the quote: “Pain only tells you that the body believes there is a problem. It does not tell you where it is or if it really is a problem.” We’ve all heard the saying “push through the pain”, and for some of us this is a way of life. It doesn’t have to be this way. Many times, patients with chronic pain can learn new strategies which can help them to better manage their pain. Whether from a specific injury, or simply a by-product of aging, pain shouldn’t be a permanent way of life.

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.
