Frequently Asked Questions

  • This drugless, non-invasive approach is effective on both recent and long term health conditions, whether resulting from a sports injury in the last week, or an accident many years ago.Our approach at the clinic aims at restoring function, reducing or eliminating symptoms by understanding how the brain has responded to incidents through life, and results in a faster overall recovery. The treatment targets to improve overall physical and mental function which then addresses the source of multiple symptoms, rather than having a different therapy for each symptom.

    Since it was founded in 1997, the clinic achieves an 85% success rate, and with patients with chronic and complex conditions. Most of these patients had already tried multiple therapies, without success, before coming to NeuroKinetics.

    The treatment addresses a wide range of symptoms: physical, cognitive, emotional, and intellectual. Benefits can include reduction of chronic pain, improvement of function, better clarity of focus and thought, stronger balance and coordination, an increase in energy, and better sleep.

  • Many conditions will respond to this approach. The best way to determine if this applies to you is to schedule a Suitability Assessment. This mini-assessment will show whether this approach is suitable for you.This approach also works well for sports and work related injuries, where timely return to activity is important.

  • A doctor’s referral is not required. We are a private clinic so you can book your appointment when you are ready. No long waiting lists.

  • For recent, or acute, conditions we can help speed the healing process.For long term, or chronic and complex, conditions, we would first need a General Consultation and Suitability Assessment. This is a short 1 hour review and testing which will provide an indication for both us and you as to whether your condition is responsive to this approach. It is the starting point for all the treatment programs.
    • The treatments are non-invasive and drug-free.
    • Has been successfully used in a clinical setting for over 30 years. Patients see an 85% success rate across symptoms.
    • Know whether your condition is responsive to this approach before you start. Our assessments measure before and after levels of function on key areas before any treatment is started.
    • One treatment program addresses multiple symptoms. Our focus is the brain and the specific areas that control our ability to function. When the brain isn’t working right, it affects multiple areas. So, fixing the brain, using gentle stimulation that is specific to you, can solve these.
    • Neuroplasticity can work for you. Neuroplasticity is the ability of the physical areas of the brain to change. This is one of the facts about your brain that we rely on to help you.
    • Integrated approach is more effective for chronic conditions. Our treatment approach is based on several areas of medicine including neuroscience, rehabilitation medicine, sports medicine, aerospace medicine, Chinese medicine and acupuncture, homeopathy, posturology, and bioengineering.
  • Let leading edge medicine work for you.

  • You can receive advanced acupuncture, prolotherapy, mesotherapy, treatment program for chronic health conditions, trauma, concussions, and sports injuries. We provide can also provide medical-legal assessments and reports.

  • We aim to provide for you welcoming, comfortable office, professional, friendly staff, thorough interview with your assessments, and advanced therapies to help you.

  • A majority of patients are not local to the clinic. A snapshot of patients traveled from the following areas.

    • 25% within Vancouver area
    • 35% outside Vancouver
    • 25% outside BC
    • 15% outside Canada
  • For out of town patients, we can often modify the series of treatments into groups. For example, rather than coming 2 times a week for a month, an out of town patient may travel to Vancouver for a week for intensive treatment, and return home for the remainder of the month. Ask us for more information if you would like to look into this option.

  • Yes, we can work with you and your law firm to complete assessments and prepare medical legal reports.

  • Time required for recovery and treatment programs is usually different for each person.

    For acute or recent conditions, treatment may range from only a few sessions to a couple weeks of treatment, and in rare cases up 12 weeks.

    For chronic or long term and complex conditions, there is a minimum of 3 months treatment program. These 12 weeks are required with respect to reaching a “neurophysiological stabilization threshold” or time for the brain to remember the new “good” state.

    Time since injury is does not prevent treatability, but it can add complexity.
    The more complex the condition, the longer the treatment will need to be, as there are more “layers” of symptoms that have accumulated that need to be addressed.

    Once the treatment is completed, follow up appointments may be recommended at 3 to 12 month intervals to check on progress and to provide tune ups as needed.

  • Because every patient is unique, treatment programs must be customized to the requirements of the condition, and services and associated fees may vary. Please contact our office for more information on general pricing.

    We can assist with an estimate after we have completed an assessment and know more about what may be involved to assist you.

  • The clinic at NeuroKinetics Health Services (B.C.), Inc. is a private health and medical care facility. Our services are not covered under the Canadian Medical Services Plan (MSP). However, some private insurance programs may cover portions of the fees.

  • NeuroKinetics treatment approach focuses on how the brain has responded to the stressors and incidents in life and treating those areas. This involves non-invasive drug-free, gentle stimulation of certain areas of the brain. Their objective is to reset and “jump start” the function of the overwhelmed neural “circuits” thereby restoring normal function in the areas they regulate.

  • There are no side effects. Patients should also be aware that the healing process may make them require more sleep, or some lifestyle changes to support the detoxification process and restorative effects stimulated by the treatment. We rely on patient cooperation with the recommendations given during the treatment program.

  • Yes. Our treatments can be successfully combined with other therapies, once these are reviewed for compatibility.

  • PDS is a chronic disabling condition with symptoms similar to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and always as a group of symptoms.

    Symptoms can include dizziness, pain, headaches, balance problems, dizziness, nausea, difficulty with seeing, poor awareness of surroundings, circulatory disorders, fatigue, poor concentration, loss of memory, anxiety, and depression.
