SPINE FACT:

Back pain is the second most common reason for doctor visits, right after upper-respiratory infections.

This puts a significant strain on our already overburdened healthcare system. In BC, 28 per cent of residents said they didn’t have regular access to a family physician, meaning longer wait times and delayed care for many.

Chiropractors are highly trained musculoskeletal experts who can assess, diagnose, and treat back pain directly, without the need for a referral.

By seeing a chiropractor for low back pain, patients can be treated faster and help free up space in primary care clinics for those who need it most.

As we approach World Spine Day on October 16, we’re spotlighting how collaborative care can reduce the burden of back pain and strengthen our healthcare system.

World Mental Health Day

This year’s theme, “Access to Services – Mental Health in Catastrophes and Emergencies,” highlights the urgent need for support during times of crisis.

As chiropractors, we recognize that physical and mental health are deeply connected. Pain, injury, and stress don’t just affect the body, they impact the mind, too. That’s why a holistic approach to care matters now more than ever.

Let’s continue to advocate for accessible, integrated care that supports total well-being, body and mind.

Meet Dr. Jenn Turner, a passionate sports chiropractor with over a decade of experience supporting Canada’s top cycling athletes on the world stage.

Since 2012, Dr. Turner has worked with BMX Canada, including traveling with the team to three Olympic Games. Before joining the BMX program, she was part of the national track and road cycling teams, supporting athletes at the London Olympics. When the BMX National Training Centre moved to Abbotsford, BC, it was a natural fit for her to transition into her current role.

From daily training environments to international World Cup events, Dr. Turner is on the frontlines of athlete care, managing injuries, optimizing performance, and continually learning. “I truly enjoy this role because it challenges me every day, it’s a continuous learning experience as we not only focus on injury management but also on enhancing performance and educating the athletes to help them reach their full potential” she shares.

Dr. Turner holds a sports residency through RCCSS(C), a High-Performance Certification from Own the Podium and the Canadian Olympic Committee, and continues to work closely with these organizations to stay at the cutting edge of sports science.

Our Story

The British Columbia Chiropractic Association (BCCA) is a voluntary professional organization that represents BC’s chiropractors. We are dedicated to advancing the chiropractic profession and improving the lives of people in BC through public awareness, advocacy to the government, and collaboration with other health care organizations.

The chiropractic profession in BC was first legislated in 1934. Prior to that, it was served by the Council of Chiropractors, established in 1922. In 1991, the BCCA was founded as a separate member organization due to the constant growth of chiropractors in BC.

Chiropractors are spine, muscle, and joint experts specifically trained and qualified to diagnose and provide effective treatment for back and neck pain, headaches, and migraines. The goal of treatment is to relieve pain, restore mobility and prevent recurrences, so that people can lead healthier, more active lives.

We are social - let’s connect!
