Dr Jay Guarino, Kitsilano Chiropractor

Dr. Guarino first became fascinated in chiropractic care due to its hands-on approach of treating common musculoskeletal complaints such as low back pain and neck pain. It seemed like such a simple concept to examine a musculoskeletal  complaint by moving and palpating the joints, ligaments, muscles, tendons, and nerves of the area, to determine what structures are not functioning properly and why, and then to treat them through an effective manual approach rather than general medications or invasive surgeries. A simple concept? Yes.  An easy task? No. After a long and hard educational endeavor, Dr. Jay Guarino graduated with honors from Western States Chiropractic College located in Portland Oregon .  Dr. Guarino has since returned to his native city of Vancouver, where he has joined the team of Kitsilano Chiropractor at Broadway and Burrard. When he is not busy at the office, Dr. Jay can be found hiking, snowboarding, rock climbing, running, doing yoga, and enjoying the sunshine at Kitsilano beach.
