Chiropractic utilize many techniques complimenting the gentle Chiropractic adjustment and mobilization of the vertebral spine to align and correct spinal, muscular and neurological problems. Patients are given time to understand their diagnosis and treatment protocol. A well-informed patient is the best Chiropractic patient.

Everything changed for me because I was able to take my health back.  Now my job is to be the person that supports people who are struggling the way that I was. I became a Life Coach to bring in the emotional side to my practice and now offer combination Nutrition and Life Coaching Programs to bring together all the pieces of the puzzle and give you the support and tools you need to transform your own health.

Taking charge of your health is congruent with taking charge of your life and living well. My goal as a Naturopathic Doctor is to create individualized health plans that educate, inspire and motivate people to feeling and living their very best.

What makes Naturopathic Medicine so interesting and rewarding is its ability to merge new scientific research with traditional health practices and western diagnostic techniques with eastern health philosophy. This enables me to treat the full spectrum of health concerns using a diverse range of therapies. My specialized areas of focus include Women’s Health issues (irregular cycles, PCOS, thyroid concerns, menopause), Fertility (difficulty conceiving, poor sperm count/quality, IVF support), Stress management and Weight concerns.

Away from my clinical practice, you will always find me “living life to the fullest”—whether it’s playing soccer, tennis or hiking in the mountains. I look forward to working with you and helping you achieve your life potential. – See more at: http://vivehealth.ca/dr-patti-yik/#sthash.RTQPccn3.dpuf
