I just love this team so much. I've been going to Dr.Glen since the spring for Chiro and have noticed a significant improvement in my symptoms, but even more it's just a warm and welcoming space. Would definitely recommend, especially if you're nervous about starting a new treatment program or just have general anxiety. They'll make you feel at home.

I can’t say enough good things about The Wellhouse. Dr. Jake is absolutely amazing he really takes the time to listen and explain everything in a way that makes sense. I came in struggling with back pain, and after seeing him I’ve noticed a huge improvement. The care is professional, the atmosphere is welcoming, and you can tell they genuinely care about their patients. If you’re looking for a chiropractor in Nanaimo, I highly recommend Dr. Jake and the team at The Wellhouse.

I've been seeing Dr. Glen at The Wellhouse for the past 2 years, and I can't recommend the practice enough. I initially came to them due to old injuries that finally caught up with me. I was experiencing chest pain that felt like a heart attack, along with hip problems, lower back pain, shoulder pain, and neck discomfort. Dr. Glen took the time to thoroughly examine me and discovered that one of my vertebrae in my back was missing a piece, which was pinching a nerve and causing my chest pain. Thanks to their care, I've learned so much about my body and my health. I can honestly say I haven't felt this good since I was a child. I'm grateful for their expertise and compassionate approach. I will definitely keep coming back — I couldn't ask for better hands to help me on my wellness journey.

I've had continual back pain postpartum, and Dr. Jake immediately knew how to address and treat my needs. I've been to him many times for treatments now, and always come away feeling cared for and like the treatment made a difference. The staff at the wellhouse have always been very friendly and welcoming as well!

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 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.

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!

Get back to the basics of health

It’s no wonder it’s one of Canada’s most frequently used healthcare services – Chiropractic works. Chiro goes beyond treating symptoms like back pain or headaches and restores optimal function to your body. Chiropractic focuses on the spine and nervous system, treating various issues naturally.

Every wellness journey is unique. Chiropractic doctors use their clinical experience in spinal manipulation, soft tissue therapies, lifestyle counselling, and custom orthotics to put you on the road to true health.

Our chiropractors focus on prevention and wellness care, addressing a wide range of issues, from sports injuries and overuse injuries to pregnancy-related pain and pediatric concerns.

We believe that a holistic wellness model incorporates your emotional, physical, and social well-being, which is why we provide education and advice on various aspects of life, such as nutrition, exercise, and family dynamics. By using an integrated, team-based approach to healthcare, we aim to offer you various paths to achieving optimal health and wellness.

Why see a chiropractor?

Restore your natural ability to respond and adapt to stress

Joint and muscle pain can limit our abilities to do what we love. Ongoing pain and discomfort can negatively impact our quality of life and limit our daily activities.

Chiropractic treatment is a drug-free and manual approach to healthcare designed to assess, diagnose, and treat conditions related to the neurological, muscular, and skeletal systems of our body. It restores your body’s response to the environment for optimal health.

1

Your spine is communication central, delivering information to the brain from the entire body.

2

Proper posture supports healthy growth in children and proper range of motion as adults

3

A healthy spine optimizes function to support healing.

4

Chiropractic care can help to alleviate headaches and other chronic pain, without prescriptions.

5

Chiropractic supports a healthy pregnancy and alleviates back pain.

Your Questions About Chiropractic Answered

An adjustment does more than just treat specific symptoms like back pain, neck pain, or headaches. A proper adjustment, delivered by a wellness-minded chiropractor, restores normal and optimal function to your body. And when your body is functioning optimally, you can imagine the improvements you will see. Our patients typically report improvements in areas such as reduced pain, headaches, faster recovery from aches and strains, improved mobility, focus at work, and so on.

Although our ultimate goal is to focus on prevention and wellness care, our patients typically present with the following symptoms of ill health: adult back pain, pregnancy-related back pain or headaches, sciatica, tension headaches & migraines. Other common conditions that we see include shoulder pain, muscle strains, chronic pain and muscle tension.

We regret that we cannot directly bill your insurance or extended medical provider at this time. However, we are actively working towards making this possible for our services in the near future. 

At our clinic, we believe that treatment should revolve around the patient’s needs and comfort. Our customized approach employs non-rushed, informative consultations that encourage patients to ask questions during appointments without any time constraints. Our initial chiropractic exam takes around 45 minutes, and subsequent visits require up to 15 minutes or less. Because everyone is unique, your chiropractor appointment can  be as long as needed as long as we know beforehand in order to keep our schedule on time.  No patient is ever rushed in our office.

Today, we find more parents bringing their children to chiropractors for the hundred and one little and big things children go through as they grow up. It is important to remember that although many of our little patients find relief from these ailments, this is never the focus; a pediatric chiropractor’s aim is to reduce nervous system stress.

Pregnancy is the most natural process a woman’s body can go through. Today, we live in a world where there is a lot of fear around this beautiful time in a mom and dad’s life. Biomechanical changes to a mom’s body during pregnancy are inevitable. Chiropractic care helps to restore the balance in mom’s musculoskeletal system, making her feel more comfortable physically so she can adapt to the changes she’s going through.

A very important question for sure. With all medical interventions, there are also risks.

However, the risks are very minor with chiropractic as it’s one of the safest treatments that exists and one of the most widely used in Canada. The most common risk or side effect that people experience is some achiness or soreness following a treatment – similar to when you work out at the gym or go for a bike ride, walk or run for the first time in a while. Your doctor will thoroughly go through these with you during your appointment.

Of course! Chiropractors are trained in a wide variety of technique systems and work with the individual to design a plan of care that is going to work to help that individual meet their goals. With the aid of various instruments, we can deliver safe and effective adjustments and treatments to patients with even advanced arthritis.

This is completely false! You are in charge of your own health and will be empowered to make your own decisions. The truth is, you hire me and you fire me. That being said, many patients, myself included, see the benefit of ongoing chiropractic care and CHOOSE to maintain a wellness plan in order to keep their body functioning at its best. Similar to the way you go to a dentist regularly to make sure everything is alright with your teeth. It is much better to fix a problem before it becomes a burden on your life. The important thing here though is that it is your decision.

Yes, we can directly bill for WorkSafe BC (WCB) claims. Please note that you will need to present your claim number to us at the time of booking in order for us to process direct billing on your behalf.

We’re here for you!
