Discover a deeper understanding of your health

Kinstretch, Wim Hof Method, Oxygen Advantage, and the Buteyko Method with Dr. Steve Piper, Chiropractor in Vernon, BC

You are stronger than you think.

The focus on health continues to grow. There is a plethora of opinion-based advice on health. This is where legitimacy draws a line in the sand.

You have a critical choice to make.

You can experiment on yourself using opinion-based health influencers, or you could discover a deeper understanding of your health, guided by me, Dr. Piper. I have spent 12+ years in academic settings and 12+ years of clinical experience as a chiropractor in Vernon, BC, seeing patients just like you, one at a time.

Chiropractic Treatment

The tools I use to help you on your journey in this complicated life are based on the scientific method.

It starts by asking “Why do you have back pain?”, and after a 3-6 sessions we analyze the outcomes (“I have less back pain”) and draw conclusions. 

The interventions I use in practice, including chiropractic care, Kinstretch, Wim Hof Method, Oxygen Advantage, and the Buteyko Method are studied extensively to test legitimacy. Scientifically tested, peer reviewed journals, accepted the world over by health experts. Clinicians, who have spent their entire careers in clinics helping people like you.

Focus your health on legitimate guidance.

Wim Hof Method

Cold immersion is sexy.

Breathing is work, mental health is paramount. This is our current world. Anyone and everyone can tap into these three approach’s to being a better version of ourselves. And yet, we are distracted by our digital imprint. 

You are stronger than you think. 

With specialized breathing you can blow the dust out of your system. Controlled exposure to cold can shock all those gears back into motion. Together, they can restore that innate strength to its full capacity.

While we cannot turn back the clock on cell phones and carefully controlled temperatures; by simulating the natural environment that our DNA is still built on, we can reap the benefits that those wonderfully cold circumstances once afforded us.

Kinstretch

Do you have prolonged stiffness, tightness that no amount of stretching, ointments, guns, rollers, elbows, adjustments, needles that help?

Do you have certain movement used to be OK, but now seems to be caused by ‘age’?

Kinstretch is one of the best tools for joint health!

A movement based class that focuses on end range joint health with isometric muscle contractions. 

Kinstretch increases the capacity to move by expanding one’s physical ability or flexibility, and then teaching the nervous system how to control those ranges of motion. That makes your muscles more usable in a broader spectrum of contractions and demands, and makes it safer –when you’re in these ranges of motion, the body is able to defend itself.

Breathwork

Breathing should never be work.

Breathing can be deep, light, functional, dysfunctional, spiritual, through the nose, through the mouth, so many things. Just not work. We breathe 20000 times a day. Imagine that was work?

As a certified Oxygen Advantage instructor, I tailor to individual needs, taking into account factors such as breathing patterns, age, and health status. This personalized approach aims to ensure a safe and effective long-term outcome for patients.

Enjoyed my second massage with Alison! Her approach is unique to me, but effective. She assesses my motion first, then does a targeted massage, addressing what she has learned during the assessment! Much of the massage is performed with me on my side - once again, new to me, but it works! Give her a try, you will be glad you did!

Steve has saved me many times. I have an active lifestyle, sometimes too much and he is always there to help me with my aches and pains. He also notices what’s happening in my life also that plays factors into it. Which helps me feel comfortable. I also always leave learning something new that I can work on at home. Which is very much appreciated

Dr. Piper very quickly identifies the cause of my pain and his treatments have always been successful. His techniques are more gentle than other Chiropractic I have received. I highly recommend him.
