The Wellhouse is by far the most supportive, welcoming, and effective chiropractic clinic I've ever visited. Dr. Jake truly listens, even when I struggle to explain what's going on, and always makes me feel heard and comfortable. Most importantly, his techniques are working. I've noticed real improvements, and I'm so grateful for the care and attention he puts into every visit. I'll definitely continue coming to The Wellhouse for chiropractic care, RMT, and acupuncture. I highly recommend The Wellhouse to anyone looking for compassionate care that truly makes a difference. 🤜❤️🤛
Do you believe in magic ? I sure do . Dr Jake at the Wellhouse is amazing ! Absolute MAGIC ! Seriously , 10/10 highly recommend . Do not hesitate , you will be better for it ! Having never been to a chiropractor in my life , I must admit I was sceptical . In desperation , after being in pain for over a month , I was at my wits end . I phoned and begged for an appointment . Louise at reception was very kind and empathetic , she got me an appointment that same day . Dr Jake listened carefully while I described my pain ( and apprehension ) and assured me he could help me . Dr Jake is knowledgeable and compassionate , he is gentle and thorough , he explained everything along the way and even taught me self care exercises I can do on my own . I am so very grateful that his treatments have completely HEALED MY PAIN . It was amazing , just like magic ! I am a believer ! I continue to see Dr Jake to keep me healthy and look forward to our visits because he and Louise are so personable , we have a good laugh . Thanks Dr Jake .
Dr. Jake Deeble is the best Chiropractor. He listens to you as well as assesses your physical condition. He treats the issue and is equal parts personable and professional. If you need Chiropractic care - Dr Jake is your guy!
Dr Jake Deeble was great. I’ve seen a few different chiropractors in my lifetime and he’s definitely the best.
Dr. Jake Deeble is the best chiropractor I’ve seen. He’s exceptionally skilled as a chiro, but even more than that, he’s compassionate and makes you feel heard. Can’t recommend him enough!!
Dr. Glenn is so amazing. I always feel so much better after my visits.
I've known DrGlen Reed WellnessChiropractor for coming up on 5 years now, and always found him to be down to earth, knowledgeable, and committed to not just fixing an issue, but educating patients so that they can improve and maintain their overall heath.
Dr. Glenn reed and staff are so incredible! As a first time mom it was scary for me to bring my 7 week old baby to a stranger. But Dr. Reed made me so comfortable and I instantly knew I was doing the right thing. They are the most supportive, accommodating practice that I have ever been to. I won't take my son anywhere else! Thank you for everything you've done for us Reed family wellness centre �
I have used multiple services from Reeds for a couple years now. I find the staff to be encouraging, and look for my health (as opposed to only what's wrong with me). I feel valued, like what I bring is acknowledged. All around good people!
I recommend this clinic to anyone that asks me. I have seen Jessica Reed for almost a year now and wouldn't change a thing. It is amazing what they do to help me recover from all the hard training I put my body through. I can't say enough about all the staff members here.
Betty and I chose the excellent rating only because there wasn't a seventh star made available. So, we'll simply attest to the fact that our findings go beyond excellence! I'm confident you'll arrive quickly at the same conclusion when you do yourself a favour by checking in at Reed Family Wellness Centre.
My husband is seeing Yue Fang (Willa) Wang , Registered Acupuncturist and Registered TCM Herbalist . She is professional, dedicated , and caring . He has had very good results from her care and prescribed herbal medicine . The office is clean and comfortable . The desk staff always cheerful and kind .Thank you so much Willa for your kind care and concern ! Highly recommended your services !
I had the pleasure of inviting Alyssa Rose Horton, a member of the Reed Family Wellness team, into my grade 4/5 class to do a presentation on the importance of nutrition and how to make healthy choices. The presentation Alyssa shared with my students was extremely informative, relevant and engaging for my class! How to live healthy and nutrition are some of the most important concepts today's children need to learn, Alyssa did an excellent job of teaching my students how they can make healthful choices everyday. The "Power Smoothie" at the end was also a definite crowd pleaser! I would and will recommend Alyssa to all of my colleagues and hope that others get the opportunity to learn from her as well!
Professional, knowledgeable, warm, caring, inviting are just a few words that describe Reed Family Wellness. Our whole family enjoys it here. I feel blessed to have found such a great team!
Acupuncture at The Wellhouse in Nanaimo
Acupuncture involves the insertion of thin, sterile, single-use needles at specific points on the body.
At The Wellhouse, acupuncture care begins with an assessment of your individual circumstances. Your practitioner will discuss the proposed treatment with you, answer your questions, and obtain your informed consent before proceeding.
Treatment recommendations, including the location and number of needles and the frequency of appointments, depend on your individual assessment and treatment plan.
An Individualized Approach to Acupuncture
There isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach to acupuncture.
Before recommending care, your practitioner will consider your health history, current concerns, and other information relevant to your treatment.
Your treatment plan may change over time based on your individual circumstances and response to care.
The Wellhouse is a multidisciplinary healthcare clinic, which means acupuncture is available alongside naturopathic medicine, chiropractic care, registered massage therapy, and custom foot orthotics.
When appropriate and with your consent, practitioners can communicate as part of an integrated approach to your care.
Acupuncture and Your Comfort
Your comfort and informed consent are important parts of your acupuncture appointment.
People can experience acupuncture differently. Sensations associated with needle insertion and treatment can vary from person to person and from one treatment area to another.
You are encouraged to communicate with your practitioner throughout your appointment. Let them know if you experience discomfort, have questions, or would like the treatment to be modified or stopped.
Your consent is ongoing throughout your care.
Acupuncture as Part of Integrated Healthcare
The Wellhouse brings several healthcare services together at one Central Nanaimo location. Depending on your individual needs, your healthcare may involve one practitioner or services from more than one discipline. Services available at The Wellhouse include:
The services appropriate for you depend on your individual circumstances and the assessment and professional scope of the healthcare practitioner providing your care.
What to Expect at Your Acupuncture Appointment
If you’ve never had acupuncture before, it’s normal to have questions about what happens during an appointment.
Before Treatment
Your practitioner will discuss your health history, current concerns, and reasons for seeking care. This is also an opportunity to ask questions about acupuncture, discuss any concerns you have, and understand the treatment being recommended.
Your Treatment
If acupuncture is appropriate for you and you consent to treatment, thin, sterile, single-use needles are inserted at selected acupuncture points. The number and placement of needles and the length of treatment can vary according to your individual treatment plan. Your practitioner will explain the proposed treatment before proceeding.
After Your Appointment
Your practitioner can discuss your treatment plan, whether additional appointments are recommended, and other information relevant to your care. Treatment frequency is individualized rather than the same for every patient.
