Dr. Joe Janek at Downtown Chiropractic is my "Neck Hero". My neck went into a bad cycle of just getting worse and worse as has happened before. My GP put me on prednisone that ruins bones, pain killers that incapacitate me, and side effect causing muscle relaxants. But it was still bad and did not fix up like last time in a few days. I woke up one day with more pain than usual resulting in that I could not go to work or drive because I could not turn my head enough to check blind spots. After just 3 visits in a week, I was able to go back to work and drive again. He recommended therapeutic massage, devices and exercises as well. The pain and muscle tension became very much reduced over a number of weeks to the point that I can go weeks to months without any treatment or symptoms. I go in now before the symptoms become severe and I don't have to take any of the GP's drugs or get hit with their many side effects.
Dr. Joe Janek has a good friendly manner, answers questions and because he asked for an x-ray, he helped discover that I had osteoporosis. Chrystal at the front desk saves me from my scheduling issues, even the ones I cause, always with a smile.
Downtown Chiropractic is conveniently located downtown at Granville and Georgia which makes it easy to get to if one is on the bus or Skytrain. By car, I've found street parking nearby on Seymour and there are several parking lots there too.
With Dr. Joe Janek you are in good hands and I recommend him to my friends and family as well. read more
