Movement starts before the first whistle!

We had an incredible time at the Vancouver Rise FC match, getting fans moving with our pre-game stretch and putting their mobility to the test at the BCCA booth. From balance challenges to big smiles, it was a day full of movement, connection, and community.

At the BCCA, we believe in empowering lifelong movement, helping people move with confidence so they can keep doing the things they love, at every age and every stage of life.

Thank you to the Vancouver Rise FC staff and fans for making us feel so welcome!

Did You Know?

Becoming a chiropractor requires a minimum of seven years of post-secondary education, including a four-year Doctor of Chiropractic degree.

During their training, chiropractors complete thousands of hours of classroom learning, laboratory instruction, and hands-on clinical experience. This prepares them to assess, diagnose, and manage musculoskeletal conditions using evidence-informed, patient-centred care.

Chiropractors are also trained to identify signs and symptoms that may require additional testing or referral to another healthcare provider, helping ensure patients receive the right care at the right time.

Whether you're experiencing back pain, neck pain, headaches, or other musculoskeletal concerns, chiropractors are trained to help you understand your condition and guide you toward appropriate treatment options.

Not all dizziness is the same, and understanding the difference can transform patient care.

Join Bernard Tonks, one of Canada's leading experts in vestibular rehabilitation, for a hands-on clinical workshop focused on concussion, dizziness, and the vestibular system.

Designed for clinicians who manage patients with persistent post-concussion symptoms, vestibular dysfunction and cervicogenic dizziness. This interactive session will help you confidently assess and differentiate vestibular, visual, and cervicogenic contributors to dizziness and imbalance.

Through live demonstrations, guided partner practice, and real-world case discussions, you'll gain practical skills you can apply immediately in your practice.

You'll learn how to:
- Differentiate vestibular, visual, and cervicogenic causes of dizziness
- Perform practical vestibular and cervicogenic assessments
- Apply evidence-informed rehabilitation strategies
- Build a systematic approach to managing persistent post-concussion symptoms

Whether you regularly treat concussion patients or want to build confidence managing complex dizziness cases, this workshop will provide practical, evidence-informed tools to improve patient outcomes.

If you're interested in treating injured workers with concussion and vestibular injuries under WorkSafeBC, this program is designed to support the vestibular training component of the requirements.

Sometimes the best testimonials happen when you least expect them.

When Vancouver Rise FC Director of Ticketing, Denise Jagic stopped by the BCCA booth, she happened to run into her chiropractor, Dr. MJ Pickell. What followed was a spontaneous conversation about the positive impact chiropractic care has had on her life.

"Chiropractors are fantastic. It's the best thing I've ever done."

Thank you, Denise, for sharing your experience and reminding us how meaningful it is to help people move, recover, and get back to doing what they love. Stories like yours are what empowering lifelong movement is all about.

Evidence Explained!

Many people seek care from chiropractors for low back pain, and one of the first steps is determining whether imaging is actually needed.

Current evidence shows that for most people with new, uncomplicated low back pain, X-rays and MRIs aren't necessary right away. Imaging rarely changes treatment or speeds up recovery.

Chiropractors use a thorough health history, physical examination, and screening for red flags to determine whether imaging or referral is appropriate. For most people without serious underlying conditions, conservative care, including manual therapy, rehabilitation exercises, education, and advice to stay active can help improve pain and function.

The goal isn't to avoid imaging. It's to ensure the right patients receive the right test at the right time, while helping others recover with evidence-informed conservative care.
