About Dr. Eric Wiens
I grew up on a small farm in Surrey, BC, about 40 Km east of Vancouver. I learned early that hard work meant getting your hands dirty and soap and water took care of that anyway.
I went to Simon Fraser University in Burnaby BC where I earned a degree in biology and then on to UBC in Vancouver where I earned a degree in education. I taught high school math and science for a couple of years.
My chiropractic studies were done in Portland, Oregon. I was amazed at the depth of knowledge that was expected on entrance, but also the rigorous schedule of the program. It was a great mix of academic studies and practical, hands on learning. I earned a Doctor of Chiropractic degree in March 1996.
Practice to me is all about helping people through connecting with their individual concerns. This means being realistic, honest and respectful of individual choices. I am constantly amazed by the healing power within each of us when we are willing to do what it takes.
My greatest satisfaction is hearing people tell me what they can now do instead of what they can't. Things like going golfing, playing catch with their grandchildren, enjoying the outdoors or simply looking forward to getting up in the morning. Improving quality of life for a lifetime is truly what being healthy is all about.
My wife Nathalie and I welcomed our son Nicolas in January 2006 and our daughter Melina in September 2008. Watching them grow, learn to stand, fall and then get up again shows me this determination is in us from the beginning.
Practicing to me is about helping people, not simply treating conditions. Most I see have struggled with a chronic condition for a long time. Most answers and explanations didn't make sense, so they kept looking.
My practice is now totally focused on laser therapy. I'm very intrigued by technology and the benefits it can offer. The next decades will be very exciting when we see the development in these areas as we have witnessed with computers and communication devices.
Low Intensity Laser Therapy is much more effective than traditional chiropractic in many ways. Like chiropractic, it is a means of promoting health from within by simply helping the body help itself.
With laser having roots in the medical world, it has allowed me more contact with the medical community and an ability to help more people with a wider range of health problems.
Please take a look at the laser section of our website for more information.
