Today is World Mental Health Day 🤍

With Thanksgiving weekend here, there's a lot of talk about gratitude, family, and spending time together. And while this can be such a wonderful time of year, we know it doesn't always feel that way for everyone.

Maybe you're looking forward to spending time with loved ones, enjoying a quiet weekend at home, or maybe you've got a lot on your mind right now. Whatever this weekend looks like for you, we hope you can find a little time to take care of yourself, too.

We're so grateful to have Rachel Norman and Michelle Crawley, our Registered Psychotherapists, as part of the Back in Balance team. Through virtual and in-person psychotherapy, they provide a space where people can feel heard, understood, and supported.

Taking care of your mental health is just as important as taking care of your physical health. 🤍

One of the things we love about being a multidisciplinary clinic is getting the chance to experience each other’s work and learn more about the different approaches our team brings to patient care.

This week, Tania got a firsthand look at Dr. Wu’s movement-focused approach to chiropractic care, which can include chiropractic treatment, rehabilitation, exercise, patient education, and a focus on strength, mobility, biomechanics, and movement patterns.

It’s a great way for our team to stay connected, keep learning from one another, and better understand the care our patients experience too.

If you’ve been looking for weekend care, Dr. Wu has appointments available today and Saturday.

He sees children 4+, adults, and seniors, with clinical interests including sports injuries and return to sport, neck and back pain, shoulder, hip and knee concerns, functional rehabilitation, and injury prevention.

If you’d like to book with Dr. Wu, you can reserve your appointment through the link in our bio.

Please join us in welcoming Dr. Victor Wu to the Back in Balance team!

For Dr. Wu, chiropractic care is about more than treating pain. It is about understanding how the body moves, identifying the factors contributing to injury or dysfunction, and helping people build the strength and confidence to return to the activities that matter most.

His approach combines evidence-informed chiropractic care with rehabilitation, movement assessment, exercise, and patient education. Dr. Wu sees children ages 4+, adults, and seniors, and works with patients across a wide range of activity levels, from individuals recovering from everyday injuries and managing persistent pain to amateur and professional athletes.

Whether helping someone return to sport, get back to the gym, manage persistent pain, or simply move with greater confidence, Dr. Wu’s goal is to help patients restore function and build the physical capacity needed for long-term health and activity.

Outside of practice, Dr. Wu enjoys basketball, exploring new technology, and spending time with his American Bulldog, Kala, who believes every recovery plan should include plenty of snacks and naps. 🐾

Dr. Wu is now accepting new patients at Back in Balance.

📅 Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays + alternating Saturdays
