Care you understand.
Dr. Ron Uppal began his chiropractic career in 2003 and opened the Burnaby practice in 2008. His mission has been the same throughout: to educate patients about what chiropractic care is and how it can become part of a healthy lifestyle. As he puts it, his hope is that once patients come in the door, they will know what chiropractic care is.
Your first visit
How care starts.
There is no referral to chase and no paperwork to fill in at the desk. Here is what happens between getting in touch and getting treated.
-
Book online or call
New and returning patients each have their own booking link, or you can call the office during opening hours and speak to someone.
-
Complete your intake form
The adult and pediatric intake forms are done online before you come in, which covers your health history, your concerns and what you want out of care.
-
A whole-body assessment
Dr. Uppal takes the time to understand your goals, assesses how your body moves from the feet upward, and builds a personalized plan around what he finds.
Getting started
Less to sort out first.
ICBC care without a referral

See full hoursWhole-body chiropractic care.
Many patients first come in because of pain, but the focus extends beyond the place the symptoms show up. We evaluate how the entire body moves and functions, because a restriction in one area can affect other parts of the body. The whole-body approach begins at the feet and works upward through the knees, hips, spine, shoulders and neck.
Everyday care
Chiropractic care
Adjustments help reduce stress on the nervous system, improve joint mobility and support the body's own ability to function and heal. Techniques used here include diversified technique, drop table technique, extremity adjustments and sports chiropractic.
Registered massage therapy
Registered Massage Therapy to reduce muscle tension, improve circulation and support the body's natural healing process. Treatment is tailored per patient and draws on deep tissue, therapeutic and relaxation massage and myofascial release.
Custom orthotics
Shoe inserts made for your own biomechanics rather than off the shelf, for flat feet, high arches, overpronation, plantar fasciitis and uneven weight distribution. Fitting follows a digital foot assessment and a gait and posture analysis.
Specialized care
ICBC injury care
Chiropractic care after a motor vehicle accident, for neck pain, back pain, headaches, whiplash and reduced mobility. Adjustments, soft tissue therapy, whiplash rehabilitation, mobility and stretching exercises, and posture and recovery guidance.
Pediatric chiropractic
Gentle, age-appropriate care for infants, toddlers, school-aged children and teens. Crawling, walking, sport, school and everyday play all place stress on developing joints, muscles and the nervous system, so the focus is on movement, posture and balance.
Prenatal chiropractic
Pregnancy changes posture, balance and centre of gravity. Gentle techniques adapted for pregnant patients help maintain spinal and pelvic alignment, from pre-conception through pregnancy and into postpartum recovery.
Our team
The people you will meet.
Two practitioners, and both of them see you one to one. Every patient receives individual attention and care tailored to their own needs, in a welcoming and supportive environment. The goal is to help you feel better today and to keep you well for years to come.

Testimonials
Rated 5.0 on Google.
A few of the 199 reviews, in the patients' own words and shortened only for length.
Have a new appreciation for chiropractic care as I age. First received care a couple years ago. Dr. Ron quickly became a trusted adjuster and friend. I'm very satisfied with my decision to receive regular care and maintenance.
I began visiting Holdom Chiropractic shortly after I was in an accident, and the care I've received has been exceptional. Ron and Des have been incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and supportive throughout my recovery journey. They take the time to listen, explain treatments thoroughly, and tailor their approach to my specific needs.
Dr Ron and Desiree have been helping our entire family, including our new baby, with our body health and wellness for 3 years now. He is the best chiropractor I know! He is also willing to squeeze you in if you have an emergency which is very helpful. He does a full assessment each visit and is friendly and approachable.
