Recovery
from Chronic Conditions & Injuries
Both Dr. Misty and Dr. Randy have a special interest in working with people of all ages who are suffering from chronic health challenges and conditions. It is our joy to watch people regain their health and recover after having been everywhere and tried many different treatments without success. Read more
With more than 75 years in active practice, we have navigated thousands of different health challenges with our patients. It never ceases to amaze us: the body always remembers how to function fully and properly. Your body has an amazing ability to move to a better place of health and function when given a chance, when blocks to proper control and function are reduced or cleared.
This isn’t to say that all long term dysfunction and degeneration is reversible. But we have seen again and again that when you improve function, motion, and nerve flow in a problem area and compensating areas, the body will be able to adapt or compensate better for the things that can’t change. When this happens, the body can do a better job of helping you do life as you’d like to do it, with less pain and dysfunction. Sometimes, a patient will require some ongoing care and support – we call this wellness or maintenance care – to maintain the improvements made under active care so that they can continue to enjoy a more active and easeful lifestyle.
If you are feeling stuck with a challenge that’s keeping you from living your life as you’d like to, and you have tried “everything”, please know that change can be possible. A consultation and exam in our office will allow us to see how much change is possible for you. We offer education and support along your healing journey. It may take some time and commitment, but it often astonishes us to see just how much change is possible for our patients suffering with longstanding health challenges.
The low force nature of Torque Release adjustments allows us to work with people of all ages, mobility and all health levels. If you’re wondering if we might be a good fit for you, please send us an email and we’d be happy to answer any questions you may have. Read less
Who We Work With
Healthy Moms:
Pregnancy, the
4th Trimester &
Postpartum Recovery
Pregnancy and birth need our respect. They are not disease conditions that need to be managed. Dr. Misty works closely with all members of the family during this precious and transformative time as they prepare to welcome a new baby (or babies). She also works with doulas and midwives as needed to support parents in making health care decisions for their pregnancy, labour, delivery and postpartum period.Read more
Pregnancy asks a great deal from a mother’s body. The body works overtime during pregnancy to nourish a rapidly growing baby and help a mother’s body adapt to the physical changes that take place in the months leading up to delivery. Adjustments before, during and after pregnancy can help your body to adapt to the many changes that happen as your baby grows in utero so that you can ideally feel your best and stay active during this life-changing time.
Dr. Misty focuses on optimizing pelvic alignment at all stages of pregnancy to help you and your baby flow well together in daily life. Nothing makes Dr. Misty happier than seeing a mama approach her due date feeling well and able to do all the activities that empower her health and well-being.
Postpartum chiropractic care is also a key support in the 4th trimester during the early weeks after birth when a mama’s body is recovering from birth and caring for a newborn. And as mom returns to a more active life and usual activities, chiropractic care helps to address alignment and imbalance challenges that arise.Read less

Who We Work With
Growing Your Health & Living Well
We love to work with people who are interested in learning more about their health and how to live their best life. Chiropractic care is an important piece of the healthcare puzzle, but there is so much more that goes into being healthy and well and thriving in our world. As you recover from the health challenge that brought you to our office, we will work with you so that you can understand what caused your problem, and give you guidance on changes to your life and lifestyle that will help with your healing.Read more
As you recover, you’ll be able to choose whether to continue with ongoing chiropractic care to maintain the improvements that you’ve made and grow your health over time. A large portion of our practice is made up of people who have gotten well under chiropractic care, and have chosen to continue to grow their health and well-being over time with regular chiropractic wellness or maintenance visits.Read less

" I came to Island Family Chiropractic for my oldest child’s pelvis issues and for my postpartum recovery after a large baby.

" Dr. Randy and Torque Release care rescued my sculpting career, allowing me to complete large-scale projects. I was a desperate skeptic, but after his gentle adjustments, I recovered quickly, even after a knee reconstruction. I’m grateful for his intuitive and creative care." - D.W
" I started going to Dr. Misty at 24 weeks pregnant for sciatic pain and discomfort. After just one treatment using the torque tool, my pain eased within half an hour. I continued going throughout pregnancy, postpartum, and even for my infant’s adjustments, driving an hour each way because of her specialization. I wish I had found her sooner!" - K.A
