What You Can Expect
Assessment
A chiropractic assessment is the initial step in understanding a patient’s health condition.
The assessment involves a history, physical examination, referral for diagnostic imaging if indicated, and discussion of goals to fully understand the patient’s health and create a personalized treatment plan.
Treatment
Chiropractic treatment encompasses various techniques with spinal adjustments being a central focus.
Precise spinal manipulations help to restore optimal movement and enhance function. Chiropractors may also use massage, stretching and exercises. Patient education promotes healing and well-being through lifestyle modifications.
Plan
A chiropractic care plan is a personalized roadmap for a patient’s health journey.
Care plans specify visit frequency, track progress, and adapt as necessary. They prioritize preventive measures, fostering overall wellness and spinal health beyond symptom relief, accommodating changing patient needs and goals.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Chiropractic manipulations, also known as adjustments, are very safe, hands-on procedure performed by chiropractors. By skillfully manipulating the body’s joints and soft tissues, chiropractors aim to alleviate pain and improve joint and muscular function. These adjustments are specifically designed to enhance the mobility of the spine and extremity joints, ensuring optimal movement and function.
Active Release Technique
ART (Active Release Technique) is a unique approach to treating soft tissues. Rather than applying static pressure, ART involves actively moving the affected body parts through a range of motion during treatment. This dynamic element is a key distinction from classical trigger point therapy where compression is primarily used without incorporating active motion. By mimicking the precise motions that trigger the pain, ART offers a highly effective and targeted approach to treatment
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy, also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive medical treatment that utilizes high-energy sound waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. It is commonly used in orthopedics, sports medicine, and rehabilitation to treat various musculoskeletal conditions.
During a shockwave therapy session a handheld device delivers controlled acoustic waves to the affected area of the body. These waves create mechanical stress and microtrauma at the cellular level, triggering a cascade of biological responses. This includes increased blood flow, neovascularization (formation of new blood vessels), and the release of growth factors, all of which promote tissue regeneration and healing.
The intensity and frequency of the shockwave pulses can be adjusted based on the specific condition being treated and the individual patient’s needs. The treatment is typically administered in a series of three to four sessions with each session lasting approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
Shockwave therapy has been found to be effective in treating a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including tendinopathies (such as Achilles tendinopathy, tennis elbow, and plantar fasciitis), calcific tendinitis, muscle strains, stress fractures, and myofascial trigger points. It can help reduce pain, improve mobility, and enhance tissue healing without the need for surgery or medications.
Graston/Soft tissue Scraping
Soft tissue scraping stimulates blood flow, promotes lymphatic drainage, and alleviates muscle tension. This technique helps reduce pain, inflammation, and muscle tightness.
Cupping
Cupping therapy is often used as a means to create suction on the surface of the body’s tissues. This suction helps to loosen the tissues and enhance blood circulation leading to pain reduction in areas such as the back, neck, and extremities.
Custom Exercise and Rehab Programs
Exercise and rehabilitation plans play a vital role in promoting recovery, enhancing performance, and preventing future injuries. By incorporating targeted exercises and rehabilitation techniques, individuals can restore optimal function and movement patterns. These plans often focus on correcting muscular imbalances, enhancing joint stability, and improving flexibility and mobility. They may include a combination of strength training, flexibility exercises, balance and coordination drills, as well as corrective exercises tailored to the individual’s condition.
Vestibular Rehabilitation
Vestibular rehabilitation is a specialized therapy designed to address issues related to the vestibular system, which is responsible for maintaining balance and spatial orientation. It is commonly used to treat individuals with vestibular disorders or conditions that affect their balance, such as vertigo, dizziness, and unsteadiness.
Torque Release
The Torque Release Technique (TRT) is a specialized chiropractic method that focuses on restoring proper nervous system function. TRT utilizes a gentle and precise adjustment approach using an instrument called the Integrator. This technique is offered by Dr. Rick Mozell

When I have an appointment with Heather, I know that I will not only get a Chiropractic Adjustment, I will also receive helpful knowledge and advice about stretching and exercises to support my treatment, which is realistic for my lifestyle and needs. I absolutely recommend Heather!
Corey Makortoff
I have been seeing Dr. Heather White for all of my chiropractic treatment since I moved to Kelowna four years ago. I continue to visit Valleyview because of the highly skilled professional care I receive. They are always able to accommodate me when need be. Heather goes out of her way to help me and takes great pride in her work and what she does. She’s fantastic and I’d highly recommend her to everybody! It’s a great feeling to always leave the office with that sense of feeling well cared for!
Louise Voyer
Dr. Heather White really helped me using Active Release Therapy for painful shoulder spasms. She is very professional, a good listener and very willing to offer exercises and advice that proved very helpful to me during my course of treatment.
Chris
Many thanks to Dr. White for her chiropractic assistance in helping me cope with chronic neck pain and migraines. Her warm and genuine bedside manner is much appreciated, and I feel better after every visit. Betty, Corrine and Colleen at the front are just lovely and do everything they can to accommodate patients scheduling needs.
Amanda H.
I came to see Dr. Heather White as a first-time client about six months ago. I had never seen a chiropractor before and after trying massage and physiotherapy on my hip and groin, I was still not making any progress with this particular injury after almost two years. Dr. Heather and I spent my first visit getting familiar with my injury; the cause, what my daily routines were, what kind of activity I did and what treatment I had tried. I was nervous about ‘cracking’ but I soon discovered there is much more involved, and for my particular injury, my treatment was more muscle manipulation and the movement of joints. After our first session, she gave me a treatment plan to work on at home and called me later that night to see how things were feeling. Within five visits, I had 100% mobility back in my hip and groin, no pain, and have now got her working on my rotator cuff. It’s improving dramatically. I recommend Valleyview Chiropractic and Dr. Heather White. The front desk ladies are also fantastic and friendly and always get me in for an appointment quickly.
Heather Robertson
I first went to see Dr. White at Valleyview Chiropractic because of a week-long headache. She fit me in on very short notice and later that evening she called me to make sure I was feeling better, which I thought was above and beyond. I go to see her now every month and I look forward to Dr. White’s kind-hearted personality and friendly, welcoming team every treatment I receive! She gives great advice on what things I can do to relieve pain and to improve my overall health. Dr. White has a great sense of humor and remembers details about you that make you realize she is invested in you as well as your health. One of the things I also appreciate is that she is always on time for my appointment. I have definitely recommended her office to family and friends!!

Both of us have had assessments and treatments with Dr. Heather White at Valleyview Chiropractic. She has invariably provided us with exceptionally thoughtful, compassionate, timely and professional care, including telephone follow-up after treatment. We have frequently recommended her care to our associates.
Jill Mitchell Nielsen
I found Heather to be an incredibly empathetic practitioner, with a wealth of knowledge she was keen to share. Her way of practicing presents often complicated health care information in plain talk, and she encourages questions. She never seems in a hurry and has a deep sense of commitment to her patients’ well-being. My case was particularly challenging, and I appreciated how much time and effort she spent learning about my condition and working with me to treat it. She absolutely exceeded my expectations and clearly sets a high standard of care for her patients. I would unhesitatingly recommend her to anyone seeking chiropractic care.

I am very impressed and thankful for Heather and the staff at Valleyview Chiropractic. I have been a client for a couple of years now and the service and therapy has always been second to none. Heather is one of the best chiropractors that I have ever been to. She has helped me on many occasions in getting back on my feet after sustaining some fairly serious injuries. I would not hesitate in recommending Heather and the rest of the awesome staff at Valleyview Chiropractic. They definitely get a five-star rating!!!
Danielle Downs
Dr. Heather White is an extremely knowledgeable, compassionate chiropractor. I recommend booking in with her wholeheartedly. If you are in need of a professional who can address complex body needs, as well as work with you as a whole person, Dr. Heather White is who you’re seeking. She i fearless, practical and embodies the sort of ease that comes from an educated, experienced individual. I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis when I was eleven years old; and Heather took the time to go over my medical history with me, as well as taking the time to discover more personal information; asking about nutrition, exercise and my personal goals. The quality of her questions was touching to me, as far too often the medical profession cannot —or will not— take the time to get to know their patient. I appreciated her confidence and communication. She advised that she intended to work with Active Release Techniques in and around my neck in order to safely relieve my pain – it works!
Heather is very prepared, and I strongly believe that Heather has my best interests in mind. She meets me where I am on any given day, beyond judgement, while she efficiently works with my body. Each time I leave the office, I feel so incredibly good.
I feel so fortunate to have met Heather. My respect for her continues to grow with each visit. Thank you for helping me create healing and strength in my life!
Renata Irvine
I first met Heather at the Running Room where she was giving some informative information to all the runners before the group was heading out! That night I had injured myself during the run, knowing that Heather was a Chiropractor I emailed her that night to explain my situation and she got me an appointment to see her the very next day. In just one visit after seeing Heather, I started to experience relief. After receiving just a few more treatments, her impressive skills seem to have done the trick on the problem I had! I have had great results with my treatments, and I would highly recommend Dr. Heather White to anyone that is needing treatment. She’s amazing!
